Martin Zurmühle is an architect. When he shoots buildings or landscapes, he positions his camera, creates the light, or waits for the light. The process is academic, mechanical.

PHOTOGRAPHY | MARTIN ZURMÜHLE WORDS | CLIFFORD THURLOW
When Zurmühle shoots nudes, his photographs are a mystery. He fashions each shot as a potter moulds clay, the shape governed by the illusive element of chance.
A nude moves, lives, breathes. Each intake of breath, each impromptu flicker of the eyebrows, each subtle change of position creating something unforeseen: the photograph like the figure in the block of marble waiting to be discovered.
The nude is life. Everything else is just waiting.
