The work of German photographer David Altrath focuses on the interaction between architecture and landscape. This graduate in design, art and media from the Merz Academy in Stuttgart creates visual narratives that combine perspective, plays of light and depth of space.
His recent series Ocean View The terrace of the Kamezí Deli & Bistró restaurant in Lanzarote is a perfect example. This culinary space is an integral part of the Kamezí Senso Concept within the Kamezí Boutique Villas, a "tribute to the senses." David Altrath offers a refined and soothing vision of this concept through his warm, vintage, and retro color palette.
His photographs play with geometry, organic materials, contrasts, and sunlight. But above all, they enhance the contrast between the white structures, whose minimalist design is inspired by the island's volcanic caves, the arid vegetation, and the shades of blue in the sky and sea.
From this architectural fusion and purity emanates an atmosphere imbued with gentleness and tranquility. It reflects Kamezí's cuisine, inviting guests to savor refined, seasonal dishes made with local ingredients. This gastronomic haven thus combines sustainable luxury with a health-conscious approach, blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors. "The series is much more than just a showcase of design."David Altrath insists. "It also captures the harmony between nature and human creation."
