He calls his photographs, painted with oil paint, photopictures. The photography serves as a background for the oil paint. For Lüders, painting fits into the photographic motif and complements it. Painted figures, objects or indefinite objects appear in the pictorial space of photography. As a rule, they fit into the light and space situation in photography and appear there as "believable" objects.

In a series of works begun in 2011, the three-dimensional representational quality of painting is lost. Lüders now paints figures on the photographs, the color of which mixes with that of the photographic background and which thus seems to shine through the figures. He calls this new series "Transparent Figures".
