Romy Pfeifer


Romy Pfeifer is an artist photographer based near Stuttgart in the South of Germany. She has a degree in economics and worked for a publishing house. Her love for photography began when as a child she held her first single use camera in her hands. She never stopped making pictures.

After being retired she intensified her photographic journey which is primarily self-taught, encompassing a diverse array of subjects, including natural landscapes, animals, travel, and portraiture. However, what holds particular significance for her is the realm of experimental and abstract photography, where she employs varied techniques and creative approaches.

One of her ongoing projects is multiple-exposure and ICM photography of nature and natural landscapes. This unique form of photography allows her to emphasize the vibrant colors, captivating light, atmospheric qualities, and the dynamic essence of nature. It represents her distinct perspective on the beauty of the natural world, aiming to show the mystical, ever-changing, and fragile aspects of our endangered environment.

Central to my practice of photographing is my devotion to nature and her dynamic, transformative force.

When I'm strolling with my dog and my camera through the forests or along a seaside I have the feeling of being just in the right place. I feel a strong connection to all the beauty that surrounds me: the trees, plants, animals, fields, the sea, the sky. Making photographs in these landscapes is a kind of meditation for me and has a healing power. Through my art I have found my place in the world.

With my way of photographing I work on our way of living and connection to nature, on the rhythms of nature, on the eternal transformations. My images often force the viewer to look closer. Realitiy dissolves into abstraction evoking both the vitality of nature and its ephemerality.

In an era of rapid technological change and environmental crisis, I hope to be able to remind with my photographs of the enduring beauty of nature and the importance of preserving and protecting her.
