personal data    Werner Pawlok  Gender  Male  Age  55 years old  Status  Professional photographer  City  Stuttgart  Country  Germany  Site  www.pawlokworks.com  Alternate site  www.pawlok.com  Information  What is a Pawlok? Must an artistic standpoint lead directly to a trademark style? Must its expression be restricted to a single photographic technique? Not in the case of Werner Pawlok. He chooses the technique that best fits the project or idea. And then he turns technique into style. But as soon as he has brought something to perfection, it starts to bore him. Then he lets others take over. As he did with the Polaroid transfer technique he invented in the eighties. He does something else, because he doesn't believe in copying himself. Isn't this counterproductive? Wouldn't it be better to stick with a signature look, a familiar trick, a trademark technique? “Better counterproductive than boring,” says Pawlok. The one reaction he doesn't want for his photos is: Oh, sure… it's a Pawlok. If you come across a photo of his you should first be fascinated by it, then you should want to know who made it and finally you can say: Ah, Pawlok, of course. Werner Pawlok is self-taught and he doesn't stop learning; his mainspring is a thirst for knowledge and innovation. And so Pawlok's visual language bristles with dialects, slangs and antonyms, moving effortlessly between glamour and trash; convincing by the strength of the idea.  portrait n/a  most appreciated work n/a  members choice  art limited  Account type  PREMIUM - Unlimited  Subscribed since  Dec 25, 2007 at 10:22  Validity  Expired Jan 27, 2008 at 11:52  Last visit  Jun 23, 2008 at 08:35, 151 days 21h 4mn 11s ago  Profile viewed by members  96 times  Profile viewed by visitors  625 times  Images  9  Featured on Art Limited  1  Overall creations seen  5842 times  Received comments  10  Sent comments  0  In the forums  0 message  Followed by  0 person  Invitations  0 person  lastest creations  localization  belongs to the following projects  Views - faces of literature  Portraits of famous contemporary writers   by +Werner Pawlok 2 persons 4 images  random favourites n/a n/a n/a
