Daniel Gustav Cramer


German photographer Daniel Gustav Cramer has plunged from dark uncanny forests to submarine seascapes. But says Charles Darwent, his work is still concerned with themes of concealment, where what is shown in the light may be more baffling than what lurks in the darkness. It is this sense of sublimity and the element of the uncanny that surrounds Cramer’s work that fascinates me. The question that nags at you when you walk through Cramer’s Sylvan woods is where? Why here? Why this tree? And the realisation dawns on you that these photographs aren’t just about revelation but equally about concealment. Similarly my work deals with what cannot be seen and is readily left up to the imagination of the viewer.

I received a very nice message from Daniel, it seems that he had found my blog and informed me that his work was showing in London. He also sent me a catalogue of his work.
