images about the artist

Silke's work has been described as "poetry in black & white". In her photographs of landscapes and people, she expresses stories, feelings and dreams; capturing the spirit of a place to make the viewer feel positive and curious. Her photographs have a signature dreamlike quality that she accomplishes by combining a cheap plastic camera with the 'zone system' (a photographic technique co-invented and perfected by legend Ansel Adams)

As much as Silke appreciates a good color photograph, she believes that black and white adds a mystical or mysterious quality to her photographs that color would take away.

Born near Hamburg, Germany Silke now lives in Malden, Massachusetts.
