| Karl Herber is a photographer who brings a welcome dose of potency and edge to a medium dulled by a stock photo mindset. By infusing his work with energy and wit, his images can teach us something about seeing through fresh new eyes. Karl’s images delight the eye, regardless of their intended use. He may surprise you through his modern point of view, or whisper to you through the intimacy of a whimsically composed miniature. Maybe he’ll challenge you through a diptych or triptych that takes you somewhere you didn’t know you wanted to go. The clarity and immediacy of Karl’s work belies the depth of his worldly, well-travelled mind. So it’s no surprise that his images are layered with elements that can take you deeper and deeper if you wish. One can truly sense Karl’s love of this world through his photographs. Whether it’s a commercial studio assignment or a location shoot, he will impart this into works that say to viewers “come closer”, and they’re never let down for doing so. |
