"Stilled Floral Compositions," is a stunning exploration of grandeur, style, and elegance.



Using the technique of tableaux, Altmaier stages his compositions in a way that tells a thought-provoking narrative and imbues them with a mystique that leaves the viewer wanting more. 

His tableaux are carefully staged scenes and compositions that tells a story through visual cues and symbolism. By arranging the elements of the scene in a deliberate and thought-provoking way. 

Harald manages to create a mood and atmosphere that enhances the message or theme of the arrangement.

With advanced lighting techniques and the best photographic equipment, Harald takes the art of tableaux to new heights, creating images that are both beautiful and thought-provoking.
