The touch of the surreal, the slightly out-of-focus is still contrasted with the visually crisp
Ben Schonzeit is unique in his photographic vision due to his years of experience as an internationally acclaimed painter. The style and imagery he developed over many years of painting have been directly transferred to his photographic style. The touch of the surreal, the slightly out-of-focus is still contrasted with the visually crisp. The treatment of texture and form is as deliberate as his choice of color and lighting. Each photograph is carefully conceived by the painter with a painter's eye and a painter's composition.
