“I am colourblind and I can‘t distinguish green and red“. This is how Kilian Schoenberger, one of the finest contemporary landscape photographers, introduces himself on his Facebook profile. This fact strikes even harder, when we observe his recent works – the beautiful, yet ghostly illustrations of the Brothers Grimm‘s fairy-tales.
"我是色盲並且我不能分辨綠色和紅色." 這是世界上最優秀的景觀攝影師 Killan Schoenberger 在他的 facebook 裡怎麼自我介紹的. 當我們觀賞他最近的作品, 那些美麗, 但是可怕的 Brother Grimm's 童話的插圖, 會發現這事實影響更大.
Schoenberger took the dreary photographic illustrations in remote rural areas throughout Middle Europe. The collection called Brothers Grimm‘s Homeland masterfully plays with our imagination, as these are probably the kind of landscapes that might have easily inspired the famous brothers to create their hair-raising tales.

On his profile, Schoenberger shares his thoughts on photography process and what it means to him: “Others are doing yoga – I am ascending mountains in the darkness of the night. Immersing in my own tranquil world step by step. The stoic rhythm of hiking through the gloom – the gently looming dawn and finally the satisfying moment when I reach my final location.“
在他的介紹中, Schoenberger 用拍攝過程分享他的思想和對他的意義: "其他人在做瑜珈 - 我在野晚的黑暗中爬山. 一步一步沉浸在我的安寧世界. 穿越幽暗郊遊的堅忍節奏 - 當我到達最終位置, 那隱隱若現的曙光, 是最後令人滿意的時刻.
