Selfportrait, 2014.

About:

Was born in December 1998 in Innsbruck, Austria, and delved into photography at the age of 10, focusing on self-portraiture and fine art photography after having fallen in love with the craft. His works take us into surreal worlds in which he makes himself and his models live through somber moments. It’s a real adventure to witness David’s development as a photographer, and we are pleased to introduce him today.

I love to tell stories and to convey certain feelings and emotions in an image. This is the only criterion. I currently enjoy photographing people and very often do self-portraits. But I’m also a huge admirer of pictures that convey a mood without featuring people. I strive to be able to do this one day.
What really intrigues me is that photography – like all other art forms – can be so universal that you can be touched by a picture that someone else has created. Furthermore you can make the images in your head become reality. This amazes me again and again.(flickrblog 20 under 20) (copyright photographer)
