Light Being – Close-Up Portrait of Theatre Director Jörg Fürst

Light matters. Light is essential. Light is a “giver of all presences”. True for the Art of Theatre like for The Art of Photography. Without light nothing can be seen.

Yet, a portrait is more than just lit from the outside. It’s the light that shines from the person I photograph that matters most. Lighting is one part, the other part is the light we give — light as intrinsic properties of ourselves.
