EXPLORING VIENNA

Carla Clenci

For many years I have travelled around Vienna as a photographer and I am constantly inspired by the architecture of this fascinating city. It offers a unique mixture of historical and modern architecture, all of which I try to capture with my camera so that I can share my special perspective and viewers of my pictures can see the world through my eyes. I prefer to photograph interesting buildings that captivate with their history, atmosphere, or design and construction. Vienna is a paradise for architecture lovers, from the magnificent buildings on the Ringstrasse to the elegant Art Nouveau buildings and sleek, modern masterpieces of engineering. Each building tells its own story, and it is important to me to convey these stories visually.

I try to make my photos more than just images of buildings; they are an expression of my deep admiration for the architecture and the creative minds that produced it. I like to experiment with different perspectives and lighting conditions to emphasise the beauty and uniqueness of each building. I like to place great emphasis on details that are often overlooked, but at the same time capture the whole essence and character of a building. Through my work, I want to encourage people to be more aware of their surroundings and to appreciate Vienna's architectural treasures. It is a great honour for me that a newspaper now wants to publish my photos and I hope that the readers will enjoy my pictures as much as I enjoy taking them myself. With my camera as my constant companion, I am constantly discovering new facets of this wonderful city. I  look forward to capturing and sharing many more of Vienna's architectural gems.
