Berry Bingel
UK Nominee People Amateur "We need a job" Informal portrait of 4 young Spanish unemployed men who are very keen to find work Berry Bingel (*1954) was born in Germany and was introduced to photography on his 14th birthday when he started to develop his interest to explore the medium. Berry never received any formal university art degree but unlike some autodidacts he is a strong believer in the power of observing, influence and learning from the past, especially from the early days mistakes which lead consequently to various experimentation over many years which in turn convinced him that the opportunities in the field of photography are probably endless. He is living in Scotland since 1980. He doesn’t worry about trends, staying true to his point of view as an image creator. Though we’re looking at the same thing, we all see and form our own points of view. His work explores the lines between art, documentary and human intervention to engage with issues that have undergone cultural, social, or environmental change. __ Nominee ( Silhouettes’ ) 13th International Black & White Spider Awards Honorable Mention ( Fine Art ) 12th international Black & White Spider Awards Nominee ( Fine Art & Silhouettes’ ) 12th Annual International Color Awards Nominee ( Nature ) 11th Annual international Color Awards Nominee ( Portrait ) 10th Annual International Color Awards 1996 One man exhibition Conoco Foyer Gallery Aberdeen 1986 One man exhibition Nikon Gallery London (Richmond) 1985 One man exhibition Aberdeen Arts Centre 1983 Winner “World of Colour “ 35mm Photography Magazine |
