Standards in Photography + Aesthetics
Time to stand up for what I believe in, before other voices drown the best intentions out. You may be wondering why I’m creating a blog so late in the game of 2009. Especially a blog that stands up for great work – not only in the realm of photography, but also aesthetics and tastemakers in all fields, from around the world. Recent interactions with the Christian Oth Studio brand online have made it clear that I need to represent the Studio, supported by my name and reputation, but this goes far beyond just my name above the door. Christian Oth Studio was founded on an idea, an ideal to become the standard-setter in wedding photography, and to a point, we’ve achieved that. It was incredibly humbling when I was named one of the “Ten Best Photographers in the World” by Photo District News in 2007. I was floored by the news. An achievement of recognition after five years of hard work redefining wedding photography with fresh narrative. A triumph. Yet with challenges that raise the bar ever higher…. And such accolades I didn’t achieve on my own. In fact, all the people who have joined the Studio also believe in setting industry standards. We are all in pursuit of a level of excellence that is legendary. Every photographer here explores new approaches to deliver revolutionary work.
Going forward, we’re taking this quest to improve to the next level. Across every aspect of our work, our relationships and with every client or subject. Christian Oth Studio will come to mean stellar photographic work – for events, weddings or any photojournalistic, action, or fine arts photography or for any editorial purpose. We stand behind all of our work, which includes the linear thread through all of our influences, education, experience and technique, to always go beyond, delivering fresh shots that are memorable pieces of art. Stay tuned as we turn up the dial on Christian Oth Studio….Many, many more ideas, opinions and straight talk about Photography to come. Welcome to the BIGGER PICTURE of Christian Oth Studio.
