  2. Will Davidson, Harper’s Bazaar Australia, March 2012
I have seen this picture floating around tumblr before I have even seen the whole editorial and before I knew that Will Davidson had shot this. (I guessed it though.)As much as I tend to be complaining about the current high end fashion photographers and how they’re all shooting the same: I love Will Davidson. So much.
As much as I love this picture. It’s so different from what you see most of the time. And yes it’s super romantic so my heart skips a beat (hey, yes, that’s just me).

  7. It’s raining cats and dogs outside and I’m trying to get some stuff done.While gathering files for a stylist I came across my scanned contact sheets from my very last shoot in NYC back in December 2010. (- oh wow, time flies!)
I still miss this city very much and I also miss Jesus from my favourite lab who used to provide me with those real contact sheets.

  8. GPOYT - my dad’s old glasses - Edition
Cleared out my dad’s old storage area yesterday. So many precious things to discover.
There’s ton of work ahead of me. I know I promised to update this blog on a more regular basis (which is still lacking). It’ll be. It’ll be.
How’s your life at the moment?

  10. Conviviality.
A little something I have been working on with a great designer I met recently.There’s hopefully more to come but first you have to cross your fingers for making that happen.
Anyways, I’ve set myself the goal to post more regularly, but being swamped with work and still renovating our soon-to-be-studio is making this hard to achieve.

    I also recently gave Joao almost all my NYC ad agency contacts, happily. You want to know why? Cause he’s rad and I love his work and he’s got this sexy Peruvian accent thing going that makes me weak in the knees. But seriously, I do it cause I want to. I really don’t know any other way. How can you not want to help your friends? I want to see my friends succeed, and honestly, all of these things come back around. You can get on the bandwagon or not, but I assure you, you’ve got a longer distance to walk if you go your own way. Have some fun, make some friends, get to know some people, meld this career together with your life. So many of these photographers I speak of have turned into some of my closest friends, in part because we all can “get” each other so quickly and so well, in part because we’re all going through the same life pursuit, and in part because I feel like I can really get to know someone by looking at their work.


    Besides the fact that you all (those who are seeking to become a photographer) should read those words (and the other parts concerning this topic) by Jake Stangel I need to say that everytime someone asks me how I would describe the differences between working in NYC and here in Germany is that this photographers-companionship is fucking not working over here.

    And it really bumms me out, because all he is writing about is true:
    it is easier and it is more fun! I have gotten more contacts and actual help from people living (or at least who have been living) someplace else than from photography friends here. Why is that? Why is that german mentality still that way?

    I really don’t get it and it’s another proposal to you guys that you’re changing that.
    I think we’re all ready for this.

     
  12. Oh well, happy new year to everyone -

    as we’re entering another wonderful year I wanted to spread two little reminder:

    1. You can still buy a copy of my thesis.

    It’s 27,50 € a copy; signed and numbered.
    Shipping to Germany is included, international shipping comes with an additional fee.
    For further information or to place an order email me with Hidden & Pattern as your email subject.

    2. You can still be part of my portrait project.

    If you think we should meet and have a little photgraphic get-together, you should message me!

     
  13. It’s the time of the year where you think about everything you have done so far and where you wonder what’s going to happen:I tell you, this year has been insane. Don’t worry I won’t tell you all stories but just let’s say I’m very thankful for everything that has happened!
This year made me strong with all its travelling, fighting and loving.
It made me fall in love again with my profession while meeting and working with all these great people and where I happen to be more confident with the way I work, thanks to the appreciation of so many people.

As much as this year was the beginning of so many things I cannot wait for the next year to arrive: I have so so so many things planned and so so so many things to achieve. There’s so so so much time to be happy and so so so much wonderful work to do. For the ones who didn’t know already: twothousandandtwelve is going to be an amazing year - so at least I wish for all of you.

Take care. And see you then.xoxo

    “Murder She Wrote” by Chaka Demus & Pliers

    I’m thinking of starting a song diary because I tend to wake up with random songs stuck to my head.
    This morning I couldn’t help but notice that this song was playing in my mind. Haven’t heard it in years. But oh well, the subconscious remembers everything.
