Ronny does many things well. A short scroll on his profile page is enough to make your lower jaw inch closer towards the ground. But the thing that stands out to me the most is shapes. He seems to constantly compose with shapes in mind, rectangles, triangles; the mastery and beauty of Ronny’s composition work is a really a thing of true art and skill. This week marks Ronny’s 248th frame!

Your life in 30 words or less
I’m 47 years old and a passionate photographer. I’m also a happy husband, an incredibly proud father of a eight-year-old son and a eleven-year-old daughter, a music addict, runner, swimmer, cyclist and increasingly a triathlete.
Can you share 2 images, one from your past, and one more recent, that show your evolution as a photographer?
What has been your favorite style of shooting lately?
My thing is simply to capture everyday moments in an authentic way and through artistic means, be it through mood, colors, details and perspectives, and always tell a little story about them. It’s all about storytelling… that’s what I’ve loved doing for a few years now and I’m committed to it… it will stay that way.
What was the first photo you ever submitted to 52Frames?
How did you find out about 52Frames?
I owe it to Carolina She brought me here and in my eyes is still one of the most wonderful people I have met in the world wide web!
What submission are you most proud of and why?
Even though I love street photography, I have my origins in family photography and I love capturing candid moments of my loved ones. The picture was taken spontaneously at an ice skating show. Charlotte was so lost in thought and the lights in the background were just incredibly beautiful.
One tip you’d like to share?
No matter what camera you have, no matter what bad weather is outside and no matter if you have the feeling that today is not a day for a good picture.. just go out and shoot! And if it doesn’t work out, the next picture is always the best anyway!
One more thing.. please always tell a story!
Why is 52Frames meaningful to you?
I’ll be honest.. there have been many moments, when I have cursed this project, but the moments that have made me feel that my passion has a home here, are the majority. Every week a new challenge, every week many wonderful people judging my submissions, every week wonderful inspiring images in the album that push my own photographic boundaries, that’s what makes 52frames so unique and meaningful.

Ronny’s work is always inspiring and one of the big reasons that I find 52 Frames so invigorating. The chance to learn both from examining and critiquing his images, and through his generous, thoughtful responses to my own photography have had a huge impact on the evolution of my skills. Ronny’s work has encouraged me to tackle street photography more frequently and, I hope, more successfully. But it’s not the only aspect of my image creation that he has influenced. His compositional skills have changed the way I look at the world around me, particularly when there’s a camera in my hands. I look forward to seeing his photos every week, knowing that I will learn something new and wonderful as a result.
