Gathering little fragments of Europe.

Julius Weidner’s Frames feel like they’ve been taken within the space of a fun-filled day, from early morning shots on the canoe to the after hours at a train station at night. And while his camera roams as freely as his own daytime adventures, Julius describes his photography style as intentional. 

“I started taking my photos intentionally, and I still do that a lot today…I would describe my style as documentary, because that is simply what I do most of the time: documenting my life and everything that is part of it,” he says. 

Julius’ life as a documentarian first began when he was 14, when his hometown in Germany ran a local art contest. Now 27 and having graduated from his Minolta X-700, Julius remains thankful for having found what he calls the “therapy” of photography. “Whenever I take my camera and go out to shoot, I can clear my mind and escape this hectic, stressful world. It is enormously precious to me to have something like that in my life,” he says. 

Whether it’s a lonesome amusement park or a series of fog-cloaked hills, Julius’ shots feel like therapy in themselves. In them, he takes us from lunch dates in Paris to nameless tunnels in Germany, with his friends and girlfriend popping up sporadically from frame to frame. There’s an intimacy to his work, like peering into the personal memories from a summer road trip.

“I enjoy going outside with my camera, always on the hunt for the next frame which freezes a moment in time that I enjoy revisiting. Looking at it and sometimes sharing this feeling with other people is what makes me grateful to have found photography in my life,” he says.
