Yvonne Zemke, Düsseldorf, Germany
Born 1967, Yvonne Zemke lived many years in Austria and Berlin. After working in different professions she was fascinated about the renaissance of photography and the new possibilities in the digital era. Her work is influenced by a mixture of new school American wedding photography, with its vibrancy and tendency to break all traditional rules – and the classic European masters that inspire her most. Yvonne Zemke has a passion for the vitality of a wedding day – a cornucopia of emotions just waiting to be transformed into a story. “Reportage and Portraits, both have their place. I cannot imagine the one without the other. The reportage tells the story of the day, and captures the little moments that could, with time, be so easily forgotten – whereas the portraits are the cherry on the cake – they reflect the bridal couple as they perceive themselves. The most important thing I ever learned has little to do with technology or photographic rules: creating an atmosphere with pictures.” |
