Welcome to the Fine Art Crete Gallery website! My name is Franz Holzknecht and I am delighted to be able to present my work and the fascinating beauty of Crete to you.

After more than 35 years of professional experience in the private sector, I intensified my passion for photography five years ago. My path led me to the renowned Prague School of Photography in Linz, where I deepened my knowledge of my craft at a professional level. This training has helped me to bring my visions to life in unique fine art photographs.

Crete, and Plakias in particular, is more than just a place for me – it is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. I first came here in 1990, and the landscape, light and atmosphere of the region have captivated me ever since. This inspiration flows into each of my works, which capture both the natural beauty and the soul of Crete.

On my website, you can browse through my portfolio at your leisure and purchase the works that appeal to you directly online. All prints are available in a range of formats and are printed to the highest quality on fine art paper.

Kind regards,
Franz
