Kevin Krautgartner, born and raised in Germany, currently lives and works in Wuppertal. His design studies were based around digital photography, and this continues to provide the basis for his work today. Art can be found in both classical architecture as well as the natural world, and when viewed from different perspectives, a completely new take on what is all around us can be found. This is particularly poignant when seen from a „bird‘s eye“. Natural landscapes and costal areas take on a new life when seen from this perspective.  Kevins work uses both helicopters and light planes to capture these visions, this „art“, from above. He has travelled extensively around the world to capture art from some of the most extraordinary places. His work can be found both in national as well as international exhibitions, is shown in magazines and use to illustrate books. He is an award winning digital photographer, including the EISA, Maestro and the Epson Pano awards.
