Gregor Schöpf (*1989) is a 31 year old German (born) - Canadian (raised) male based in Brussels, Belgium.
Gregor is instinctively drawn to Japanese aesthetics, as classical and medieval Japanese culture defined beauty through nature-based aesthetic paradigms.
His Photography is akin to a visual form of Haiku (俳句) (Japanese short form poetry), mediating a flash of insight into nature. His photography also aims to transmit the values of the Wabi-Sabi (侘寂) aesthetic - peaceful contemplation, both saddened by and appreciative of impermanence.
Besides Photography, Gregor (under the pseudonym Matthew) works as a Masseur since 2012.
His Photography and massage are synergetic. Both are explorations of aesthetics.
