The passionate artist Loreen Hinz is primary known for the feature to produce a piece of art of her models. She fascinates, surprises, amazes and captures our attention in a very distinctive way. The largest contribution to her stylistic development probably had the French photographer Sarah Moon, well-known for her countless campaign pictures among others for Chacharel, Comme des Garcons and a short film for Dior Homme. ''Her photographs relieved me mentally from the constraints of the "perfect", deep focussed photography,'' says the 27-year-old photographer, ''At the beginning of my work I became evermore blurred and at the end I dissolved my models completely until I come upon the photographic freedom that characterizes my work today.'' Similar to Sarah Moon her artistic work is characterized by painterly images in which Loreen Hinz dissolves her objects, and thus gives them a touch of mysticism. In this blurring can be found a certain distance, but also a welcoming mood that seems to keep a secret and thus provides access to an incredibly intense intimacy. ''After the shooting I only choose the photos that affect myself, that trigger a feeling, a enthusiasm in me... Furthermore, beautiful people fascinate me, with the help of photography thus I can keep a piece of beauty for me and always enjoy it.'' Loreen Hinz therefore prioritizes a strong expression much more than the technique by the image taking and edits only the bare necessaries and creates no images or effects with the help of photoshop. ''In the course of my photographic work honesty becomes evermore important to me, for this reason I would like to go back to my analogue roots and shoot more analogue again.'' There arises the question how far reality and art should be distinguished from each other based on the technical possibilitys we have today. Lately, the pictured content can mostly be attributed to a real subject so that Loreen Hinz sees at least not a concrete, fixed limit between reality and photography. ''The purpose of art consists of making something special from reality,to filter the small piece of magic in the everyday. A pretty girl with nice clothes is reality, the photography with its possibility has the chance to make art of it.'' explains Loreen Hinz, ''This may sound ingénue-like but I like the imagination that there is much more between camera lens and subject.''
