Photography Above And Below Zero – by Sascha Unger
www.aabz-imaging.com

At the age of ten I got my first cheap little point and shoot camera which I used with black and white film because I could not afford colour processing.
I was eighteen when I purchased a manual SLR-camera and started studying interior design. Photography was one of the minor subjects. Having access to the studio and photo lab of the university, there was the opportunity to experiment with medium format, flash and light. A lot of my time was spent in the darkroom.

I discovered my interest in graphic design and started my own business in 1998 – during the booming era of the new economy. Finally, I obtained my first professional automatic SLR-camera. I continued to operate my business after successfully finishing my studies and did various small photo shoots for clients.

In 2001 I took on a full time job in a major advertising agency and there was very little time for photography at all. After three and a half years I left my job to travel around Australia.

Now I live on the North West Cape in Western Australia, with the Ningaloo Reef at my doorstep. Having a passion for diving made it quite apparent that I had to capture images underwater as well.

aabz-imaging was founded in May 2007, initiated with a postcard series of 12 different designs. The postcards are a huge success and sell very well. The new series for 2009 has a total of 21 designs. Framed artwork is currently on display at several locations in Exmouth/Western Australia.
