erich ruczkowski

We got married in 1997 and the following day we emigrated to Gran Canaria, where we still live today. I started out in photography self-taught. In 2008 I turned my hobby into a career and started working as a photographer. Photos for web presentations were my professional entry point. But my real interest from the start was in art and people photography. I pushed my own projects (still life, available light and of course street photography) and stylized and characterized my development as a photographer. Perfectionism in implementation and planning and the integration of all the possibilities of digital photography and editing are and have been the basis of my work. The metamorphosis of a photo, which develops from a photograph into a unique work of art, is the goal that I strive for, which fundamentally influences and guides my work. According to this motto, I was able to contribute a large part of the images in the book "Jardin Secret" by Guy Martin. Also in 2015 there was a joint exhibition with the famous artist Ana Luisa Benítez at the Finca Montecristo (Gran Canaria). Today I work on various calendar projects and as a portrait and wedding photographer.
