UP Photographers / interview 05/2022
Interview given for the great UP Photographers Collective
WHAT ?
Everything that comes in front of my lens. I do not work conceptually when I take pictures. Only after some time has passed do I arrange and sort my work, then some things grow together. Series and essays emerge and the conception happens at that point.My focus is on geometry, colors and framing. People often take only a static role in my work and serve the image structure.

Featured with my series " Urban Souls" at SEEN Magazine
The quiet moments, the quiet phases in the hectic urbanity of capturingand capturing our cities
was the goal behind this series. Moments in which people are looking for relaxation, or even
a short escape attempt are the situations that I have tried to capture.
The pictures was done in Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Menton and Salzburg during a period of 2 years.

Interview to my series " A wider view" at Street Photography Magazine !
I am a collector of pictures, I have no conceptual approach when I go photographing.
Only after weeks, months or just after four years I design a series according to different criteria.
The quality of the pictures is crucial – the similarities have to open from my perspective,
only then a series develops from my perspective.

The characters are only one part of the picture composition and contribute to the whole. The most decisive thing is the situation itself and all its elements, especially the graphics and the colors that fall into place merely by chance.

Publication on Street Photography ... Featured -Interview
His work is like a sideways glance into other people’s lives. A playful minimalism where, often solitary – though not always – figures are set out against vast landscapes to ponder existence and their place in the cosmos. A metaphor hanging in space and representing the unimaginable vastness of the universe and our miniscule and insignificant part in it.

Beim Betrachten seiner bisher veröffentlichten Bildserien sticht insbesondere hervor, dass Farben eine übergeordnete Rolle in seinen Aufnahmen vom „Theater des Lebens auf den öffentlichen Straßen diverser Metropolen“ spielt. Ganz anders und völlig gegensätzlich ist allerdings Enrico ́s Serie »From a fairy tale“«. Schwarz- Weiß . Ein düsteres Märchen voller abstrakter, surrealer Bilder aus dem Theateralltag aus der Sicht eines Straßenfotografen.

Mit dem österreichischen Straßenfotografen Enrico Markus Essl
spreche ich in diesem Interview über den Reiz, im urbanen
Raum auf Motivjagd zu gehen.
Er selbst bezeichnet sich als „Bildersammler“, der mit einem
feinen Auge hinter die Oberfläche des Alltäglichen blickt und
dabei nicht selten allerlei skurrile Szenen mit seiner Kamera einfängt.

When you’re wandering around in urban enviroment for a time
you also come upon parks and green areas.
This series wasn’t planned from the beginning but has been developing over the years. Actually, I regard myself as a "collector
of pictures“, after some time certain pics make up a series.

Splash – Straßenfotos aus dem Urlaub
Für mich als Straßenfotograf ist es immer wieder eine besondere Sache, in einer meiner Urlaubsdestinationen zu fotografieren. Die Menschen sind entspannt, genießen den Moment, schalten ab und lassen die Seele baumeln. Daraus ergeben sich besondere Momente, die für mich eine Quelle einzigartiger Situationen darstellen.

4 years picturing Vienna:
Enrico Essl between old shops, malls and tourists.
This series has grown over a period of four years,
and as the title “B-Sides” suggests,
these works are not primarily used as single images and so far have not been used for any official series.
Vienna is my favorite city to live my passion “street photography”.
Make a trip to Vienna and you will always return to this city.
Photogrist Photo Magazine 11/2016
Enrico Markus Essl is a self-taught street photographer, who was born in 1970 in Linz, Upper Austria, raised in Salzburg, and currently based back in Linz.
For Enrico street photography means “freedom to let my creativity flow and to capture special moments in a unique way”, he inspired by wonderful patterns, colours, shadows, geometric elements and unusual scenes.
“Since my early childhood I have been interested in photography,” he says.
“I detected street photography for myself and it’s been haunting me until this day”.

Series "Geometrical Street"
by Enrico Markus Essl
Road markings, zebra crossings, symmetrical shapes and lines ...
I try to integrate all these elements again and again
into classic Street Photography
and thus a series has been created that represents my way
of interpreting street scenes
The way of creating pictures by cutting them in a my special way enables
the viewers to make their own interpretations
and to exalt their imagination.
Modern and popular street photography lives of scenes and actions.
The viewer should be captivated by the special vibes of the scenery.
One feature of my work is reduce pictures to the minimal.
Through the use of geometric elements and shapes
the viewer should be given new opportunities
to interpret pictures.
