German photographer Jens Ochlich has called California his home since moving there from West Germany in 2000. He was first inspired to pick up a camera upon his discovery of architecture photographer Julius Shulman. Today, his camera can’t stop clicking at the sight of everything and anything Americana; classic American cars, urban themes, minimalism and a longing for a long-lost America are all frequent subjects in his photographs. Jens is deeply fascinated by the fringe cities that help shape California’s rapidly developing urban landscape. He attributes his compositions to an inborn love for Bauhaus art and surrealism.
