Joachim Kakau, Jahrgang 1963. Ich bin gebürtiger Niedersachse und lebe in der Nähe von Osnabrück.
Seit dem 16. Lebensjahr fotografiere ich analog – vor allem schwarz-weiß und von Anfang an mit eigenem Labor.
Der Schwerpunkt meiner Arbeiten ist die Darstellung von Abstraktem – oft aus der Natur –, die Fokussierung auf Formen und Strukturen, an denen das Auge und die
Gedanken entlanggleiten können.
Häufig sind es auch die kleinen Details, die eine große Wirkung haben.
Darüber hinaus finden sich ästhetisch reizvolle Landschaften und Stadtansichten.
