Wagner is a German based artist who has been working as a freelance photographer since 2000. He is well known for his landscape photography that combines light and color to create mysterious imagery. The Morning News in discussing Wagner’s nightscapes states: “With an eye for the solitude that comes with open landscapes, German photographer Martin Wolf Wagner shares a gallery of luminescent, moving images where nighttime doesn’t necessarily mean darkness.” Crown Dozen reviews his photos as “huge in scope, soothing in their quietness, and very, very solitary.” In 2007 Wagner was named by Getty Images as one to watch. Wagner currently resides in the countryside between Stuttgart and the Black Forest. Not a lot of information was available as to the schooling of Wagner, but I was immediately drawn to his minimalist compositions and use of color. I really enjoy how he as taken the nightscape and used color in such a way that has given the category new life and a less stereotypical meaning.
