Nature nominee

In autumn, the blooming and colorful fields and meadows of summer turn into barren gray landscapes with withered grasses and other plants. Not many close-up photographers go there in search of motifs during this time. I did and was surprised and fascinated at the same time by the interesting variety of appearances I found. Over many weeks I collected withered plants, carefully cleaned and photographed them. The motifs impressed me simply by their plainness, the interesting and contrasting structures, so that each plant in its own way embodies a personality like a "being".

Dr. Adam Neuba is a natural scientist, photographer, and artist whose distinctive style and photographic sensibility have emerged from an inquisitive and exploratory creative process. Adam was born in Poland and moved to Germany with his family in 1988 at the age of 10. After his school education he studied and graduated in chemistry at the University of Paderborn, where he currently works. More than 15 years ago he started to devote himself intensively to photography, and over time he discovered his passion for artistic close-up and macro photography. Through extensive planning and meticulous manual work, he creates macroscopic artworks that unite living organisms with technical components, as well as motifs from inanimate nature. More recently, he has focused on compositions involving metals, exploring their unique interplay with light to produce abstract and visually striking images. Each of his pieces is crafted with exceptional care and attention to detail, reflecting both scientific precision and artistic vision. Neuba’s work has been featured in numerous publications and recognized with photography awards around the world.
