Inspiration Profile – Wolfgang Glowacki

I had the pleasure of seeing Wolfgang in Salamanca, Hobart last winter. His business card lives on my desk as a constant reminder that you don’t need to look far for inspiration. Wolfgang has a wide and dynamic collection of photographs which he has captured over his career. I’m always attracted to his panoramas and landscapes, but I love how he manages to find the extraordinary in the ordinary with his macro work as well. A fantastic photographer and a great source of inspiration. Enjoy!

I remember when I first began with photography and wondering why I couldn’t get what I was seeing in front of me to translate into a single frame in a photograph. These simple methods are a great way to learn how to make things “work” in your photos. Enjoy!
