SEA / SKY 2026

This series was created along a single stretch of coastline in northern Estonia over several months.
The images were taken over the same beach from an aerial point of view — a quiet, exposed place where the Baltic Sea meets an open, shifting sky. Returning to the same location repeatedly allowed the work to evolve slowly, shaped not by change of place, but by change of light, weather, and time.

THE ARTIST:

Bernhard Lang is a professional photographer and visual artist working across Fine Art Photography, Digital Art, and Painting.

Lang is best known for his award-winning aerial photography project Aerial Views, which earned numerous recognitions, including First Place at the Sony World Photography Awards in 2015.Today, his work spans various photographic and visual art projects, with a growing focus on digital artworks and abstract paintings.
He divides his time between Langenburg and Munich in Germany, and Tallinn, Estonia.

Lang's work has been published in Times Magazin, The Washington Post, The Guardian, CNN, Wired, National Geographic Magazin, Corriere della Sera, Zeit Magazin, art magazine, mare, FAZ, Stern, Spiegel, SZ,  ... and and has produced artistic content for Apple, Aston Martin, Akris, Getty Images Creative, Sundek, Deutsche Welle TV Channel, …

He's aiming to find interesting looking patterns and structures on the surface of our planet. He also takes particular interest in capturing images, that show the impact of human’s activities on the nature and environment.
Lang’s images free us from the bonds of gravity and allow us to take a more detached look at the world and our effect on it — both good and bad. It is this duality that lang is most interested in investigating through his work, the strange balance between beauty and destruction, and the ongoing struggle for symbiosis between human kind and the earth we inhabit.

Lang’s work has been shown in several exhibitions worldwide, and his exclusively limited, museum quality Fine Art Prints are held in corporate and private collections.
