Michael Jurek

Based in Hanover, Germany, I devote much of my free time to exploring the far reaches of the world. For over 15 years, photography has been my enduring passion, a pursuit that continues to deepen with each passing year. My work spans a wide array of genres, mainly focused on travel, nature and architectural photography, with a particular affinity for creating abstract, creative and minimalism art across these disciplines. Inspired by the awe-inspiring beauty of the world, I aim to capture the essence of the locations I visit and the diverse individuals I encounter, using my Canon lenses to freeze moments in time and share my experiences with others. My photography has been featured in several esteemed publications, including 1x.com, DigitalPhoto, fotoMagazin, fotoforum and Stern.de. I have also had the honor of receiving awards and recognition in photography contests globally. While my portfolio is diverse - ranging from nature, travel and architecture to abstract and minimalism photography - the thread that ties my work together is a spirit of adventure. My art is characterized by a mastery of composition, lighting, perspective, and color. I strive for simplicity in my compositions, eliminating distractions to achieve a sense of fulfillment in each image I create.
