Jules Spinatsch's answer to the traditional distinction between applied & free photography can best be described as a cheerful "do-as-you-please" approach. His independent works express his personal artistic beliefs: they are keen-sighted & probingly experimental, capturing atmospheric moments of Spinatsch's immediate surroundings. His images are of an enthralling beauty, & in his close-ups Spinatsch conveys the relevance & charm of minute details. In his series We Will Never Be So Close Again he portrays motorists snoozing at the wheel--images that border on the ethereal. Brand New Animals deals with the artistic depiction of nature, which Spinatsch introduces to the reader as an alternative world.
