Romy Pfeifer, born 1956 in Bad Säckingen, is a German
photographer and resides in a rural region in the South of Stuttgart. She has a
degree in economics and worked for a publishing house with technical magazines.
Her love for photography began when as a child she held her first single use camera
in her hands. She never stopped making pictures.
After retiring, she intensified her photographic
journey which is primarily self-taught, encompassing a diverse array of
subjects, including natural landscapes, animals, travel, and portraiture.
However, what holds particular significance for her is the realm of
experimental and abstract photography, where she employs varied techniques and
creative approaches.
Romy’s knowledge and photography expertise continually
advance through her independent, self-directed learning. Throughout her work,
she strives to elicit emotional responses from viewers while upholding the authenticity
of her photographic creations.
Romy constantly seeks to embrace new challenges in her
photography, such as her current project, focused on analog photography.
One of her ongoing projects is multi-exposure and ICM photography
of nature and natural landscapes. This unique form of photography allows her to
emphasize the vibrant colors, captivating light, atmospheric qualities, and the
dynamic essence of nature. It represents her distinct perspective on the beauty
of the natural world, aiming to encapsulate and unveil the mystical,
ever-changing, and fragile aspects of our environment.

The following images I created with ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) and multiple exposures. I developed this kind of photography to express in a stronger way the colors, the light, the atmosphere and the motion of nature. The images invites contemplation and maybe they challenge the viewer to question the permanence of what they see. I intend with this kind of photography to show the mystic, the transformation and the vulnerability of our environment. The boundary between realitiy and phantasy blur and you can feel the miracle of nature.
This work is a multiple exposure of autmnal foliage at the waterfront of the lake Bergsee in Bad Säckingen, in the South of Germany.
I took this picture on an evening in August in the forest of Schönbuch in South of Germany. Schönbuch is with 156 km2 a large nature reserve in the South of Stuttgart. As I live at the border of the Schönbuch I love strolling with my dog through its forests almost every day, and most of the time I have my camera with me.
