Juergen Vespermann is a Fresno, California based photographer specializing in black and white architectural photography. More recently, he added digital photography and color images to his portfolio, even though his true love is still with b/w architectural photography. He says that one advantage of taking photographs of architecture/buildings is that the object hardly ever moves...
Born and raised in Muenster, Germany, he became seriously interested in photography during his college years and moved to Fresno, California in 1989. Here he joined the fine art photography gallery Spectrum Art Gallery in the Tower District.
His dad (Hermann) passed away in 2015. He loved to take pictures and stuck, until the end, to his 35mm Canon camera. He gave him his old camera (Braun Paxette, Super III, Automatic) some 45 years ago, which was the perfect opportunity to explore the world in his home town on his own.
Juergen enjoys bringing details of interesting architecture, buildings and man-made objects to the surface, emphasizing visual lines and forms. Most of his photos are very abstract, usually too detailed to recognize the actual building. It keeps the spectator guessing. The images capture a perspective that transcends the building itself, focusing in on the most intriguing details. He enjoys discovering the accidental combination of individual elements created, when viewing these structures and trying to further reduce these objects to details, playing with the lines, geometrical figures, shades and contrast. These objects can be the details of facades, the ceiling of a museum, or the pipes of a solar power plant.
Juergen has shown his work in galleries in Germany and California. Among other things, he has worked with a corporation (Westfalen Gas) in Germany documenting photographically the oil production facilities and provided the photograph "Not a Bullet Hole" for the US East Coast heavy rock band Dead Season for the cover of their first CD “down again”.
Juergen’s images are available as framed or unframed photographs in various sizes and formats.
