ESSER, Elger
(Stuttgart, 1967)

Misty atmospheres and transparent lights prevail in the images of this author of romantic appearance, member of the Dusseldorf School, a lover of serenity and the symbolic sensitivity of the landscape. In a sort of neopictorialism, the photographer does not seek mere nostalgia, but also works with time apparently detained on living things, exploring a reality that is a profound mystery and takes us back to the past from the beautiful plastic quality of his compositions.
