Biography

René R. Wenzel found his passion for photography at the age of 9 years.  During a trip through Lesotho and South Africa, with his Leica M3 he did his first reportage on the life of the inhabitants in 1980. Many years later he found his way back to professional photography, studied the Master of Photography in Salzburg/Austria and qualified for the QEP and QAP.   As professor of medicine and cardiologist from now on he not only treats people’s hearts but tries more than ever to show his photographic skills throughout his own heart by representing moments, that are mainly invisible to the eye. Whether humans, nature or objects, René R. Wenzel is not interested in the depiction of surface. He goes deep into how humankind interacts with its environment. Represented by an agency, he moves out for selected photography projects. Then, he is exclusively behind the camera. René R. Wenzel is a photographer whose competence underpins the seal of QEP.   Projects and Exhibitions (selection):   ‘Life of casteless Indian Children in Gujarat, India: MEHSANA SCHOOL PROJECT – 2014’: https://www.renerwenzel.com/Blog/Mehsana   ‘A day in the life of South African Children - Masiphumelele - Noordhoek-Southafrica 2016’: https://www.renerwenzel.com/TRAVEL/2016-02-Masiphumelele-Township/   ‘Ein Tag im Leben des Anton Thuswaldner’ (‘One day in the life of Anton Thuswaldner”) – Leica Gallery Salzburg, 21.2.-14.3.2020 https://www.leica-galerie-salzburg.com/event/ein-tag-im-leben-des-anton-thuswaldner/   ‚Menschenbilder 2019‘ (‘Images of Men‘) https://www.menschenbilder-salzburg.at/fotografen/rene-r-wenzel/   ‘Der Moment macht das Bild’ (‚The moment makes the picture’) LEICA Gallery 12.11.2020 - 10.04.2021 https://www.leica-galerie-salzburg.com/event/der-moment-macht-das-bild/
