Sometimes it is the first thought when I wake up and the last one before I go to sleep. And yet, I care much more about the subjects, the stories and themes of life, ultimately, the people that I photograph. I will always try to make pictures <i>about<\/i> something &#8211; as opposed to <i>of<\/i> something.<\/p>\n<p>There is this feeling whenever I manage to get a clear view on the very core of a story, it comes like a eureka-moment, but with less euphoria, more silent, sometimes with joy, often with disillusionment or even sadness. This nucleus, this significance of a story is what I look for and when I find it, I&#8217;m trying to photograph it.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also quite obsessed with black &amp; white as you might notice, it literally helps me focus. And I too believe that sharpness is a completely overrated bourgeois concept (Henrie Cartier Bresson).<\/p>\n<p>Based in Graz, Austria, I have been freelancing for magazines, NGOs, and above all, for a number of daily newspapers in recent years. Apart from my work as a photojournalist, I&#8217;ve always tried to pursue my own independent (longterm) documentary-projects. Many of them making me look deeper into my own direct local and social environment, others taking me farer away and some steps out of my comfort zone.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3298\" style=\"width: 471px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3298\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3298\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexanderdanner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/20151022UB0100_web.jpg\" alt=\"Fl\u00fcchtlinge warten vor dem Sammelzentrum an der Slowenisch-\u00d6sterreichischen Grenze im Gebiet von Spielfeld am Donnerstag, 22.
