Günther Klebinger

I capture moments that might easily be overlooked: people passing by, their interactions, the play of light and shadow, brief fragments between movement and stillness. Even when a person appears only in the corner of the frame, or has just stepped out of view, their presence shapes the image.

The human being is mostly at the center of what I do. What matters most to me is dignity – never ridicule, never mockery, never reduction. I want my photographs to reflect respect, even in fleeting encounters with strangers.

The street is my studio. I am drawn to places where contrasts collide – silence in the middle of noise, a beam of light in the dark, postures, gestures, smiles, faces that carry life. For me, photography is not about perfection but about presence: the awareness that a second later, everything might already look different.

Each image is a fragment of this search – a way to hold on to traces that will not return. I try to reveal calm within chaos, rhythm within randomness, and – above all – beauty in the unnoticed.

Here’s what I work with: Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm X10, Fujifilm X-T5, Hi-Matic E
