Christian Frölich's photostream

I've been working as a photographer for over 30 years, my beginnings where in Hamburg, Germany working as an assistant, at that time I was still 15 years old. I worked in a company called Photo Professional Service. In it's studios I learned all there was to know at the time about lighting techniques plus darkroom techniques . PPS mainly clients where in the fashion business after 5 years learning all there was to know I moved on attracted by journalism.
I guess I was lucky, in the late 70's the Deustche Presse Agentur took me in and there members in the Hamburg agency taught me the craft of the trade. After that the list goes on through mainly press agencies and magazines, working sometimes as staff and others as a freelance.
I always liked features and that's what I specialized in magazines such as Stern, GEO. Living in different countries and continents, the 90's caught me in South America I was based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I there worked for editorials and agencies local and abroad as a correspondent.
The new century brought me back to europe and for the last 3 years I've been based in the Balearic islands, Spain. Working full time as an editor for a local newspaper. In my free time I discovered my love for landscapes and that's what I've been doing ever since. My images now a days are sold privately the same as for magazines and books.
Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing).
-Henri Cartier-Bresson-
As far as I am concerned, taking photographs is a means of understanding which cannot be separated from other means of visual expression. It is a way of shouting, of freeing oneself, not of proving or asserting one's own originality. It is a way of life.
-Henri Cartier-Bresson-
If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.
-Robert Capa-
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
-Ansel Adams-
When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silent.
-Ansel Adams-

"Le fotografie di Christian sono un autentico piacere per gli occhi di chi le guarda.
Ho uno spiccato senso dell'inquadratura e sa far convogliare lo sguardo sul cuore dell'immagine dopo essersi deliziato di essa.
I suoi paesaggi hanno un'anima e sanno raccontare una storia, che è prima quella del fotografo (e che fotografo!) e poi quella del luogo che rappresenta, tra l'altro mirabilmente ed impeccabilmente.
Vivi complimenti a questo delizioso fotografo ed un grande ringraziamento per le foto che quotidianamente condivide con tutti noi: grazie Christian!"26th June, 2008

"Estar en deuda con Christian es haber tenido la oportunidad de mirar a través de sus ojos, en sus fotografías. Desde que nos tomamos en serio la fotografía (aunque seamos meros aficionados) aprendemos a mirar de forma diferente. Paseando por la calle, aún sin la cámara, observamos, buscamos y sentimos de otra manera. Algunos aprendemos a mirar, pero otras personas como Christan nacen con ese “duende”, si bien, no por ello deja a la improvisación esta búsqueda. Todo lo contrario, su don se transforma en vocación con cada obra que nos muestra, con cada edición y retoque ofrece también, una parcela de lo que quiso ver y no encontro, y por ello: lo creo. Sencillamente, es un placer gozar y aprender “de” y “con” el. Abrazos.
To be in debt with Christian is to have had the opportunity to watch through its eyes, in its photographies. Ever since we took ourselves in serious the photography (although we are mere fans) we learn to watch of different form. Taking a walk by the street, still without the camera, we observed, we looked for and we felt of another way. Some we learn to watch, but other people as Christan is born with that “duende”, although, for that reason do not leave to the improvisation this search. All the opposite, his gift transforms itself into vocation with each work that shows to us, with each edition and adjustment also offers, a parcel of which wanted to see and not encontro, and for that reason: I create it. Simply, it is a pleasure to enjoy and to learn “of” and “with”. Hugs."7th October, 2007

"Assured, professional and serious about his craft, Christian consistently produces work of a remarkably high standard. Landscapes, waterscapes, buildings and the odd whimsical shot are to be found on this eye-catching stream and this gifted lensman has certainly found his style. With his awareness of and respect for the great masters of the art of photography, Christian may be on course to join them!"

"Un dia por casualidad, nos cruzamos en flickr, y desde entonces no he podido evitar extasiarme con tus trabajos, a diario los miro y me quedo un rato embelesado, disfrutandolos tanto como puedo, cada uno de ellos incluso los que forman una serie, tienen magia, tienen solvencia, de buen fotografo, de persona que disfruta con lo que hace, y eso, no todos los que estamos aqui lo tenemos, y aun me quedo corto, la elegancia, el equilibrio y el "ojo" que tu tienes lo tienen muy pocos, realmente uno celebra tener alguien asi como contacto y como amigo, porque no solo se puede aprender, sino tambien disfrutar y no me enrollo mas, porque luego esto parecera un misal, pero que conste que mi admiracion es enorme!!
un abrazo"30th May, 2007
