Björn Kleemann's Bio:    

I'm a photographer currently based in the Bay Area south of San Francisco. Originally from Germany we have left our home country more than 15 years ago and since then have lived in Ireland, Argentina and now California.

I started with photography late in life, I picked up a camera a bit more than ten years ago just with the idea to improve our holiday photos. I found out quickly that there is so much more to discover with a camera and I spent a lot of time on learning many different styles of photography from landscapes, portraits to street photography and more.    

Today I am most interested in abstractions by either distorting the picture while out shooting or manipulating it in processing. I'm also a big fan of minimalism and I spend a lot of time finding good places for architecture and landscapes I can turn into minimalist experiments. My photography is not representational, I don't document the world around me - I intend to interpret it based on what I see and feel.    

Should the opportunity arise I'm also happy to get my long lens out and chase some wildlife - from bobcats and eagles in our backyard to orcas and humpbacks out on the pacific ocean.
