Light Chasers series: Verena and Georg Popp-Hackner

Today, I am starting a new feature on my blog where I will try and showcase the work of fellow photographers at least once a month. This feature will not be limited to landscape and travel photographers but will also include fashion, commercial and wedding photographers. So, if you know of anyone whom you want to see featured here, please let me know and I’ll try my best. To start off this feature, I would like to introduce you to the work of Austria-based large format photographers Verena Popp-Hackner and Georg Popp.

It’s very hard to find a truly talented photographer, but to find two of them under the same household is downright unfair! Yet, that is exactly the case of today’s featured photographers. Verena and Georg are exceptional landscape photographers.   Verena and Georg travel to the four corners of the world to record its beauty. However, what really sets them apart, is the unique blend of technical mastery of their tools and unique vision of the world surrounding them.

In their own words, their  “goals are to find fresh, interesting and surprising compositions and locations, while avoiding placing our cameras where others have already left their tripod holes [...] When the conditions are promising, we make no compromise in trying to capture all aspects of light, weather and seasons. Exposing relatively few sheets of film, often having to wait for days to make a single photograph, we strive for quality and uniqueness, rather than quantity. “
