Jan Peter Ehlers is a contemporary photographic artist from Schleswig-Holstein, near the North Sea coast and within the catchment area of the Hamburg metropolitan region. His photographs are characterized by the highest technical precision, an eye for unnoticed details, and a deep emotional connection to the subject.
Photographic genres & working method: Decelerated craftsmanship
Jan Peter Ehlers' primary areas of work shift between nature and still-life photography as well as architectural and maritime motifs such as harbors and urban constructions ("the man-made"). Despite using modern camera equipment, he focuses on decelerated, manual photography: aperture, exposure, ISO, and focus are precisely adjusted by hand to achieve the best possible image and print quality.
For Jan Peter Ehlers, however, the technology is only the foundation – intuition takes center stage. Through the interplay of seeing, capturing, and reproducing, works are created that reveal the beauty of the everyday and the unnoticed to the viewer.
