Pool by the Lakeside, 2022
Pool by the Lakeside by Michael Boegl captures a serene yet subtly cinematic moment, where water, light, and environment converge into a contemplative scene. Based in Munich, Boegl approaches photography as both craft and exploration, skillfully balancing technical precision with instinctive artistry. In this work, the tranquil lake and reflective pool are more than mere settings—they become mirrors of atmosphere, mood, and fleeting human experience, inviting the viewer to pause and immerse themselves in the stillness.
The composition reflects Boegl’s sensitivity to space and light, turning a seemingly ordinary lakeside scene into a study of clarity, reflection, and quiet tension. The photograph resonates with intimacy, allowing subtle details—ripples in the water, the soft gradient of sky, and the interplay of shadow and highlight—to evoke personal reflection and memory. Every element is deliberate yet feels natural, drawing the viewer into a narrative that exists between observation and imagination.
Exhibited internationally, Boegl has built a devoted following among collectors and art enthusiasts, who are drawn to his immersive, thought-provoking style. Pool by the Lakeside exemplifies his ability to transform landscapes into poetic visual stories, combining cinematic sensitivity with a deep understanding of light, composition, and emotion, resulting in a photograph that lingers in the mind long after it has been seen.
