Otto’s images, simply put, are profound. He has a way of looking a beautiful scene, and taking it to another level with a simple click of the shutter. Full of passion and style, Otto’s images are deliberate, precise, and stunningly gorgeous.
Lenscape is a journey through a creative man’s mind, with charming poetry included to enhance the fantastic images. Otto began his photoblog late last year after first following several other photoblogs, then feeling compelled to start his own. There, we can see Otto’s unique perspective on the ordinary around him, on nature, and on life in general. Digital shots as well as the dreamlike and, many times, obscure images from a Holga camera are found on his site.
As a self-described tech junkie, Otto has always been heavily involved with technology, first going to a technical university, and now working as a developer of IT operations strategies for a large computer company. But photography is opening him up to a new world: “…I'm finding that photography is satisfying needs that I really wasn't aware of. Whether I want this to merely remain a hobby or become something more, I'm still not sure. But for now, I'm having a lot of fun doing it.”
He is currently planning his next trip – a trek around Mont Blanc in the Alps, where he and a friend will hike all the way around the mountain, a little over a 100 miles, going from inn to inn. Stay tuned to Lenscape to see where Otto takes us next.
