Artist's biography
Axel Breutigam is a Canadian Fine Art Photographer who’s work focuses mainly on black & white Architectural, Landscape and Flower Photography.

After a successful career as an attorney and CPA in his native Hamburg, Germany, Breutigam sold his law firm and relocated to Vancouver, BC, Canada to pursue his lifelong passion of photography.

Breutigam is essentially self-taught but also studied in New Mexico under Alan Ross, Ansel Adams’ former assistant to enhanced his technical skill and to be taught how best to use digital processing techniques that emulate the darkroom prints of earlier decades.

Breutigam has established himself as a black and white photographer with a distinct and technically sophisticated style. Intriguing perspectives, bold lighting and abstract geometric shapes are characteristic of his evocative, timeless compositions.

Breutigam’s motifs of abstraction and sharply focused forms make his photographs remarkably contemporary, while the traditional techniques he practices imbue his photographs with a timeless quality.

Breutigam is represented by

Newzones Gallery of Contemporary Art, Calgary, AB, Canada
Brian Marki Fine Art, Palm Springs, CA, USA

His exhibits since 2014 in Vancouver, Calgary, Portland and Palm Springs include

seven Solo Shows
twenty-four Group Shows
as well as online shows.

He also published four photo books:

Solitude - in the desert and beyond
Portland - living with bridges
Exploring Urban Forms
UBC - Different Perspectives of a Campus

Breutigam was nominated as ‘Photographer of the Year 2014’ from PPoC, BC.
Within the last four years Breutigam won an Outstanding Achievement Award (1. Prize) and Nominations, Merit Awards and Honorable Mention Awards in nineteen different photographic competitions from all over the world.
Breutigam’s photographs had been published in the B&W Minimalism Magazine (issue # 40), the AAP Magazine (special edition # 12 and # 13), the Shutterbug Photography Magazine and as featured Artist online at ‘ArtsyShark’.
