BLICKFANG - DEUTSCHLANDS BESTE FOTOGRAFEN 11,5

I am totally happy being part of the current and also special issue of Blickfang Deutschlands Beste Fotografen 11.5. It is great to see my work inbetween those colourful and strong photographs from all over Germany.

COLOURFUL STUTTGART

During the last five weeks some of my work has been on display at the heart of Stuttgart, Germany. The project We Make Stuttgart Colourful of the BFF photographers association Baden-Württemberg showed the works of 24 photographers on several advertising columns from April to May 2021. The idea was to start an exhibition which could be realized in public space during the lockdown regulations. Thanks to everybody who made this one colourful as it was - I really enjoyed being part of this format. For the ones who are interested here is a short review filmed by Wolf-Peter & Arne Steinheisser.

INTERVIEW - BFF ON POINT

This week my tribute to photography has been published within the BFF On Point series which is a initiative of the BFF photograpghers association Germany. I really enjoyed having the cameras rolling at my place with some really cool dudes and a cold beer. Even it has been a bit irritating to stand on the other side of the camera I normally use to - I totally enjoyed speaking about what I love, what keeps me inspired and where I get my drive from by shooting photos & creating things. For those who are interested in photography and would like to have an insight into the life of photographers, their works and interests - I totally can recommend having a look.
