SVENDBORG, FYN

Grethe er uddannet lærer og har mest beskæftiget sig med kreative fag.
I mange år havde rejsevideofilm hendes store interesse, først senere begyndte hun at interessere sig for fotoet – også på konkurrence plan.Hun har boet på Langeland i 50 år, men flyttede til Svendborg efter hendes mands død.

“Billeder har altid fascineret mig. Jeg har haft stor glæde af at møde andre fotointeresserede, hvilket har været med til at inspirere mig og udvikle mit fotografiske billedsyn.
Jeg kan bl.a. godt lide at eksperimentere med fotoet, så billederne formidler det udtryk og den fortælling, som jeg ønsker at videregive.
Nogle af mine udstillede billeder er blevet til gennem dobbelteksponering i kameraet – et enkelt har fokus på langtidseksponering, som danner dynamisk bevægelsessløring – desuden er der et lille udpluk af dokumentariske billeder, som er fotograferet på Atelier Clot, Frederiksø, Svendborg. Disse billeder var jeg så heldig at få lov til at tage ved tilblivelsen af Peter Martensens litografiske tryk, trykt på atelierets stentrykpresse fra omkring år 1902. Kunstnerunivers-billederne er af Lars Calmar, skulptør bosiddende på Langeland”

“I 2022-23 beskæftigede jeg mig med at fotografere hverdagslivet på Frederiksø. Dette mundede ud i en fotobog omhandlende øen og dens unikke miljø. Bogen kan bl.a. købes her i Nowhuset”

Grethe is a trained teacher and has mostly worked with creative subjects.
For many years, she was very interested in travel videos, but it was only later that she became interested in photography – also on a competitive level. She has lived on Langeland for 50 years, but moved to Svendborg after her husband’s death.

“Pictures have always fascinated me. I have enjoyed meeting other people interested in photography, which has helped to inspire me and develop my photographic vision.
Among other things, I like to experiment with the photo so that the images convey the expression and the story that I want to pass on.
Some of my exhibited images have been created through double exposure in the camera – one focuses on long exposure, which creates dynamic motion blur – and there is also a small selection of documentary images photographed at Atelier Clot, Frederiksø, Svendborg. I was lucky enough to be allowed to take these pictures during the creation of Peter Martensen’s lithographic prints, printed on the studio’s stone printing press from around 1902. The Artist Universe images are by Lars Calmar, sculptor living on Langeland”

“In 2022-23, I was busy photographing everyday life on Frederiksø. This resulted in a photo book about the island and its unique environment. The book can be purchased here in the Nowhuset”
