Photophobia

Feb 16, 2023 - Kai-Uwe Gundlach

I have photophobia. 

I am very sensitive to light. 

I long for rooms and places with pleasant and good light. 

I hate nothing more than those hip barista cafés with the open and far too bright light bulbs… 

Give me more rooms with good light,

I am calmed by beautiful warm light.  

Wild patterns and unruly surfaces also trigger a migraine for me.

… I don’t know if it’s a burden or if I should be grateful for it…

 

Maybe it will look good on my business card one day.

Kai-Uwe Gundlach – Photographer with Photophobia   ;)

 

Who has perfected seeing is this young photographer from the Netherlands

Sarah van Rij.

She reminds me a lot of Saul Leiter, whom I really respect.

 

Here is a song tip to go with it: “Nils Frahm – Kaleidoscope”
