About myself:
I'm Christopher Hauser and was born in Munich, Germany, in 1986. Having spent my early life both in the city of Munich and on the countryside in Austria, I was early introduced to two different worlds: the urban civilization and the beauty of untouched nature. This exposure allowed me to appreciate both sides of life.
When I picked up my first camera in 2002, I knew within moments that taking photographs would become the passion of my life. There is, simply, nothing more powerful and beautiful than taking photographs that evoke emotions and encourage us to think about us and the world.
After finishing school in Germany in 2006, I moved to London in order to become acquainted with the philosophy of photography and architecture. In London, I completed my studies in Visual Communication and Photography with an English Bachelor of Arts as well as an American Bachelor in Fine Arts. After spending a year traveling around the world to experience and capture the diversity of life, I returned home, to Munich. Over the last few months, I have been working on my portfolio and projects from my recent trips.
My work primarily focuses on the beautiful, dramatic and complex sceneries that I fall in love with every time I see them. Whether it is a contemporary skyscraper or a waterfall surrounded by a forest, my keen eyes are always searching for moments worth to be captured.
As a photographer, I endeavor to draw the viewers into the picture, giving them the chance to experience the moment in the same way I did, when I took the photograph. Feeling the power of a building or hearing the wind blow through trees are things that I want to capture in my work. I want to bring as much life as possible into each image. It is amazing to be able to raise awareness, evoke memories or just show the viewer the beauty of our blue planet by using my own photography.
Generally, I leave long speeches to other masters of words and prefer to use my images to convey how I view our world. As an old saying goes: "A picture is worth a thousand words".
