It’s been a long journey, from GERHARD CLAUSING's childhood “Bilora Boy” camera to the world of high-quality rangefinders, SLRs, and digital capture. The fascination of “capturing the light” has remained. Along the way Gerhard was an educator and writer of college textbooks, and used images in his publications and in the courses he taught. Gerhard's images gradually found their audiences.
Gerhard studied photography at Otis Art Institute, Brooks Institute, and Julia Dean Photo Workshops, completing the certified course of studies. Now he is a fine arts and documentary photographer, creating images that show the viewer alternate realities that reflect inner states and global conditions. Gerhard has been particularly inspired and encouraged by Douglas Kirkland, Gerd Ludwig, Joel Sartore, Phil Borges, Mary Ellen Mark, and above all, by his mentors, Ken Merfeld
and Aline Smithson.
