Renate Aller: The photographer who captures our world  with elegant simplicity and lyrical Drama...

 

Renate Aller made her mark on world photography. She did it with tragic simplicity and eloquent silence in motion, lights, shadows and the multi-juxtaposed dimensions of her camera, capturing the moment when the  clouds and seascapes unite with the divine and the unreachable...She is a New Yorker who's camera witnessed the 9/11 tragedy, the glamour of women's motionless sensuality and the drama that ties humans with a bursting and screaming nature. She photographs femme fatales, elegant women, the clouds, inexistent people who make you think, and the infinity of nothingness. You see it in her shots of angry and nostalgic skies, horizons, clouds, seascapes and ultra modern installations.

Today, this superb  international New York  photographer serves as America's photography ambassador to the world's most prestigious photography shows and festivals. Renate toured the globe and exhibited at the most prestigious venues in Europe, and before the altar of nature divinity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Renate: "There is no presence of any humans. The still and silent moments of the ocean and sky reflect our fears of chaos and war."

Renate Aller investigates and captures the moment we fear and hold dear to our past, hope and fantasies. Aller plays nonchalantly with  the divine, the risqué, the hidden, the sacred, the forbidden and the enigmatic cosmos of humans who blend and fade away, for they do not exist in the strongest and most tender sceneries our universe offers us; the clouds, the skies, the tornadoes, the horizon, the sea waves, the escaping lights in the dark. And Renate "La Magique" explains:"  There is no presence of any humans. The still and silent moments of the ocean and sky reflect our fears of chaos and war." All the photos are taken from exactly the same location, each seascape photographed at a different point of time, representing the history of art from Caspar David Friedrich and Turner to contemporary representation and the weight of history on the world today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The seascapes, the clouds, the skies and their un-whispered messages to humans, according to Renate Aller...Her photos of the clouds, the tempest of nature and forms of humans, the shapeless sound of elegant heels of fancy women dressed in red and running  with eroticism, class and "un je ne sais quoi" in the streets of New York, ascertain her lyrico-laisse faire-professionalism and mastery of the camera. Renate is  America's photography Diva!
