Dieter Kittel

He has a deep love for his home region of Vorpommern, especially for the often still wild and untouched landscapes such as the Darßer Weststrand and Rügen. But he is also very fond of Greece. The impressive landscapes of both regions often serve as a backdrop for his landscape and nude photographs. In often solitary moments, he likes to let himself drift and be inspired by the surroundings or the model.

Photography serves Dieter as a creative balance to everyday life. His main goal is to create aesthetic images that capture or even create emotions. He tries to combine and express his love for atmospheric landscapes and classic nude photography. He especially appreciates small stories that can be told in unusual places.

In his nudes, he strives for timeless and natural images that evoke emotion and express the model's personality as much as possible. For this reason, he looks for women who avoid artificial elements as much as possible. Personality and charisma are as important to him as looks.

Dieter also wants to go against the grain of "nude photography," which he feels often reduces women to fashion or erotic aspects and focuses the viewer on attractive looks. Ultimately, his goal is to create images that give the viewer the impression that something else has happened or will happen before or after the shutter is released - something that is still part of the image, but left to the viewer's imagination.
