The series “Tree Crowns” was awarded as Gold Winner at the Tokyo International Photo Awards in 2018. In 2017, she received the 1st place of the expert jury at the FIX Photo Awards in London. In 2015 she won the audience award at the 125LIVE Awards supported by Olympus in London. In 2015, she was added to the Kolga Award in Tbilisi, Georgia to the selection Best Photos of the Year. In addition, she received 10 additional honorable ments for top-class and international photo competitions.
This photograph impresses with a special attention to detail and closeness. It is assembled from 25 – 35 individual recordings. The number of recordings depends on the size of the tree. This results in a witness of an encounter over a period of time, compared to a snapshot in a conventional photography. The appearance of the tree remains unaffected. With this special technique, Christoph Franke wants to transfer the energy of the nature tree into the photo.
Christoph composes the treetops “top standing” in order to invite the viewer to an encounter with the nature tree, instead of classifying them – as usual – in common experiences and expectations. It fascinates the appearance of the trees in winter with their network of branches extending from the inside to the outside.

About the artist
Christoph Franke
Christoph Franke is inspired by the idea that photographs, like water, store and release energy.
Influenced by his encounter with the alchemist and photographer Marino Lazzeroni, he pursued the idea of transferring “Zen in the art of archery” to photography and pressing the camera shutter release in the moment of oneness with the subject.
He is particularly interested in the concept of polarity. In this idea, mutual poles such as above and below, light and shadow, hot and cold or yin and yang are interdependent and form a whole. They reveal reality as we know it and make it possible to perceive a material world.
His photographs have been exhibited in galleries, museums and festivals in Germany and internationally in England, France, Spain, Georgia and China.
