He is known for his ability to capture the raw beauty of the human form, while also exploring the darker side of human nature. Zeiger's work is challenging and thought-provoking, and it has helped to redefine the boundaries of contemporary photography. His techniques extend to capturing more than just the physical attributes of his subjects. His compositions often emphasize the emotions, vulnerabilities, and narratives inherent in human experiences. As a result, viewers are presented with more than just a visual representation, but rather a broader context of the human condition. www.aglutinart.blogspot.com
