Des Kleineibst Photography

I am a photographic artist living in Sedgefield on the Garden Route, South Africa.

I use photography to self-express the world around me.

I have spent the past 40+ years honing my craft specializing in Automotive Photography
for the Advertising Industry, leading to numerous local and international awards.
In between my commercial assignments, I have always photographed seascapes,
landscapes, textures and abstracts for my personal pleasure.

Back-lighting and side lighting are my preferred lighting directions, often combined with
cloudy weather to add drama and excitement to the scene.

These fine art images do not necessarily reflect what was actually there to be
photographed - a camera is a machine that captures the image – but my interpretation of
what I felt and wanted to express at the time of capturing the image and thereafter working
on them in my digital darkroom.

I am intrigued by really long exposures (up to 15 minutes) and multiple in camera
exposures as this is where I can only imagine what the final image could look like, I love
the fluidity of movement of all the non-static elements in the image, particularly water and
clouds and actively search for locations and subjects that are conducive to this shooting
technique.

I shoot on my Canon 50 Megapixel Camera System.

My goal is to achieve an end result that reflects my vision and intention at the time - not
necessarily reality - and in doing so, to bring pleasure to the collector.
