Brigitte B Burckhardt: On the road (again)

It’s about life, about survival too. It’s about a road travelled.

I started with photography as a child. My grandfather used to take pictures and I was fascinated. To honour him my artist’s name is his, thus B.B. Burckhardt.

I shot with film, color, bnw, spent hours in the dark room, took my camera with me while travelling around the globe in my twenties.

After a life changing event photography came back into my life. I felt the need to create, the passion grew even stronger than before.

Nowadays I shoot almost daily, it feels like being back on the road.

My interests are landscape and street life photography, subjects showcased here in my project.

Landscape as moments of peace of mind, my eyes being amazed by the beauty of nature. Soothing my soul.

Street life as moments of exhilaration, being ready at any minute to shoot a scene that caught my eye. A scene of life, of youth, of the ordinary, of joy (of despair sometimes).

A scene I am drawn to by my emotions, thus mostly candid.

My photographs tell a story, the point is to share it with the viewer.

On the road again is about a passion reborn.
