Marlene Neumann is a South African fine art photographer specialising in unique black and white photography, includes landscapes, wildlife, travel.

Marlene Neumann's photographic work has a classic feel which is reminiscent of the American Master photographers of the 1940's like Weston, Strand and Stieglitz. Marlene's work seems to reflect the words of Alfred Stieglitz: "My photographs are equivalents of my most profound life experience, my basic philosophy of life". Marlene's photographs are an intimate reflection of her world and her relationship to that world. Each photograph is a once-off image - totally unique - even works from the same edition are original due to the hands-on technique.

Her working method is all based on monochrome photography, but, using chemicals specially formulated by herself over a number of years, she achieves the subtleties of colour and texture which are trademarks of her work. Many people are intrigued by the technique and ask how it was done, to which she invariably replies: "Don't look at the technique, look beyond it, look at what the image says to you". "I photograph not what I see, but what I feel."
