It’s summertime, and photographer Richard Kranzin sets out on a trip with three friends into the woods of Brandenburg. A forest lake, a lonely cottage, majestic trees, the severe beauty of the ice-aged landscape: Against this backdrop, the artist tells an intimate and nearly cinematic love story in pictures between three young men. “Our starting point was trust; the presence of my camera became normal even at moments of great intimacy. This is how my idea for 'The Three of Us' could become our reality,” explains Richard Kranzin, who sees himself as a romantic dreamer. What came about is an aesthetic antipode to life in the big city: here everything is lightness and romance, a nostalgic celebration of youthful beauty and a plea for love in all its diversity.
