Quotes from German and foreign media
NEW York Times, USA
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE, USA
“… In Edmaier’s images … shapes and forms wrestle with one another, lines strive against surfaces, rivers of colour gush, layers come off in flakes, contours dissolve and contours rupture… Over and over again, the images osscillate between turbulent emotion and pure documentation. It is a double play, which Edmaier has a masterly command of.”
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG, Germany
“Bernhard Edmaier’s world is full of colour … He flew over glaciers and canyons, oceans of ice and deserts and captured images of this planet that no painter could have imagined more brilliantly … ”
SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG, Germany
„He portrays the decay, freezes the movements which have continued for millions and millions of years – the photographer Bernhard Edmaier glances at our Earth like God. And shows the Earth as it created itself.”
DER SPIEGEL, Germany
ARD-KULTURWELTSPIEGEL, Germany
“There are many good landscape photographers, but none attempt to capture the functional principles of our planet in aesthetically perfect images as radically as Edmaier.”

GEO PARIS, France
“ … Edmaier’s work reveals the diverse colours, forms and structures of the Earth photographed from the air he from altitudes between 50 and 4,000 metres. However, this is just a part of his photographic style, more than that, he continues the stylistic tradition of New Objectivity by incorporating the notion of scientific and thematic correlation in his texts and images, similarly to Albert Renger-Patzsch. In this way, the functional principles of our planet are translated into aesthetically perfect images.”
