A deep understanding of focus and silence is visible in the work of the photographer Kai Werner Schmidt. His images captivate a strong sense for precision that derives from his clear and unobtrusive nature.
The passion to bring the world into a pictorial order is a key to his visual language. Kai consciously works with the diversity of contemporary photographic methods. Architectural photography and the documentation of artistic works, especially in the context of exhibitions, are the fields he specializes in.
The ability to translate an objective or a motivation into a photograph was nurtured during his studies with sculptors and painters at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
In 2018 he was awarded an Excellence Master Diploma of Art.
