Bernhard Lang | Aerial Views | Munich (GER) | By Lee Fleming

Munich-based Bernhard Lang reveals the vastness of nature and the solitude of humankind through his unique photography depicting expansive space from above. By capturing all of his shots at 'the ideal distance' (the point, according to Lang, where humans and nature can live together in a perfect match), Lang’s photography is able to interrogate our surroundings and explore how nature and civilisation can co-exist.

After completing a photography apprenticeship at Photostudio, Munich (1993-1996), Lang developed his versatile freelance photography with clients including Audi, O2, Sony Playstation, T-Mobile and Vodafone. Since 2010, he has documented his aerial photography project, resulting in his publication, Bernhard Lang: Aerial Views, highlighting photographs taken in South Germany between 2010-2011.

Although Lang’s aerial photography of densely populated beaches tend to receive the most attention, we found his coverage of a rowing boat race and industrial settings most enjoyable, particularly photographs of the North Rhine Westphalia and the biggest Opencast Coal Mining Pit in Germany, images all taken in 2014.
