My name is Xianan Xu from China. I spend part of my life in Shanghai. CG Arts and photography are some of my favorite hobbies. And, usually, I love to attach those works with poems I've written so that they'll be more profound and thought-provoking as people enjoy them and can read the verse to feel the illustrations more easily. Anyway, hope you like them...lol

Deine Biographie überreicht Dir das Buch Deines Lebens. Widmest Du Dich dessen Inhalt und durchblätterst die Seiten, wächst Du! Du wächst an Gedankengut, Fähigkeiten und Wissen und endest in der Erkenntnis, dass Du stets ein Schüler bleiben willst.

Nicht Du läßt Bilder entstehen, Bilder entstehen durch Dich!

Im Novmeber 2012 habe ich mein 1. Buch mit dem Titel: Innigkeiten publiziert.

Worte und Fotografie! Picture meets Words! Lyrische Themen, Prosa - Gesellschaftskritisch, melancholisch, emotionale Leichtigkeit, historische Erlebnisse, Erfahrungen...!

THE BIG CIRCLE

There`s no beginning and no end, the journey is inside us.
Be happy ! ( Mohicans )

Ich versuche bei meinen Fotos die originellen Details aus Landschaften und Natur herauszufiltern, die dem Normalo verschlossen bleiben.
Hierbei spielt das Licht eine dominante Rolle.

Die Originalität und die Exklusivität eines Motives zu entdecken ist mir dabei das Wichtigste. Eine Cam richtig zu beherrschen und qualitativ gute Fotos zu produzieren gehört als Handwerkzeug dazu, das erst genannte zu entdecken zeichnet jedoch einen guten Naturfotografen von der Masse ( auch von Profis, was noch lange kein Prädikat bedeutet ) aus.

Das Leben ist bunt. - So sind auch meine Bilder meist farbenfroh & heiter. Nur ab und an mischt sich auch mal Ton-in-Ton und Schwarz-Weiß, eher softes ins Bunte ...

Meine Arbeiten entstehen aus digitalen Fotos, Scans, Zeichnungen auf Papier und Kombinationen daraus. Hin und wieder auch reine Computer-Grafiken. Ich verfemde und bearbeite sie mit unterschiedlichen künstlerischen Medien und versuche so, den Bildern ein komplett neues ‘Gesicht‘ zu verleihen. Ich verarbeite spontane Ideen, Anregungen aus der Natur und anderen Kunstwerken.

Beruflich bin ich als Grafikdesignerin tätig. Spezialität: Nachhaltige, ökologische Werbung.

Auf http://wildeschoenheiten.wordpress.com präsentiere ich schönes und interessantes rund um unsere heimische Flora, inkl. Fotografien (viel Makro). Und unter http://4plusmarketingfotos.blogspot.de einige weitere Naturfotos.

Classically trained in art since childhood, I began working with a camera at age ten. My favorite subjects in drawing, painting, and photography evolved into landscape and portraits. I have also pursued architecture, nature, still life, events, animals, and a host of other subjects. After college, studying art, theatre, and mass media, my working life took off in many directions, but a camera was always within reach. My serious pursuit of photography started in the 1980's as I obtained my first clients in the real estate industry. I established Agency Photographics, then Ron Cline Photographics, and in the 1990's, RCLINEPhotography. The RCLINE, hand written in all capital letters has been my artist's signature since the 1960's. My photography became digitalized by 2006, and I have since concentrated in the portrait, corporate/industrial, and landscape/nature areas, and I have built a client base in each. I have been establishing an internet presence for marketing my work, one of the many advantages of the digital photography age. Thank you for visiting my profile and gallery.
