There is more to Markus’ images than meets the eye at the first glance. The mood, the light and the textures create a unique sense of space, making his work densely atmospheric, even dramatic at times. He captures the interaction between places, artifacts and traces of human interference, and presents them to us much like protagonists on a theatre stage. Perhaps ill-suited for the current times when images claim our attention from every direction, his photographs gently ask us for a little time and patience. Dive in slowly and you will be rewarded by a profound experience.

In Deinen Aufnahmen finde ich mehr Inspiration als in vielen anderen Quellen. Da ist so oft etwas in Deinen Bildern, das keiner Worte bedarf, um den Betrachter anzusprechen. Du erzeugst Stimmungen mit dem Wenigen, das man als Fotograf in der Nacht finden kann: Dem Licht. Und was Du daraus machst, hat seine ganz eigene Klasse. Du erzählst dabei nicht nur die großen Geschichten, sondern oft auch die Nebensätze, die sonst nie erzählt werden...

I've been following the work of Markus Lehr since 2013 and his vision has remained consistently genuine and evocative. His technical mastery produces brilliant colors, thoughtful compositions, and inviting subject matter. There is a mystique that beckons the viewer in nearly every image he has produced; it's a sense of adventure, a supernatural presence invisible to the naked eye, "an eerie order underneath even chaos, as if the finger of God in order and disorder, is always there."
Read lessMarkus Lehr's picture making for my taste is beautifully visually literate. His eloquent use of Industrial Light & Markus Magic is proof that you do not TAKE pictures, you MAKE them. Inspirational.
