Paris octobre

Those impressions occured during a shorttrip to Paris this autumn. It was great to see some friends there!

Trainspotting

Bei einem schönen Ausflug an die Mosel zum “Dampf Spektakel 2010″ entstanden ein paar Aufnahmen, die sich ausgezeichnet für eine Technik eignen, die ich im folgenden kurz erkläre. Momentan sehr beliebt in Foto und Video ist der sogenannte “Tilt Shift” Look, der entweder durch spezielle Optiken oder wie in meinem Fall in Photoshop erzielt wird. [...]

Kein Mensch

Zwischen den Jahren, Melancholie und Nebelschwaden.

Silicon Valley (2008)

As a second work for the photo course ’still life and architecture’ I remembered some old computer mainboards which I found in waste several month ago. I sprayed them with white cans and actually I solved both topics of the course in one work. On a big printout the effect of a little industry territory [...]

Birds (2007)

These pictures occurred when I walked besides the river Rhine in Mainz. That audience was impressive

Architecture Photogaphy (2008)

In the fourth semester I occupied a photo course with the topic ‘still life and architecture’. For the architecture shots, I went to the area of a big former Industry enterprise near Frankfurt. All the building where deconstructed at that time and don’t exist anymore today. I wanted to highlight the apocalyptic mood and emphasized [...]

Form (2008)

A local rapper from Mainz named ‘form’ asked me to take some pictures of him for his new CD Cover. We went out and made a kind of ‘freestyle photo session’. Published in corner mag, 11/2009.

Mea Shearim – Tradition over all

In Fotografie,Israel Auslandssemester

Mea Shearim is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Jerusalem. Mostly orthodox and ultra orthodox jews are living here.

Some days before i passed Mea Shearim there were riots in the [...]

Nablus – Martyrers and soap

In Fotografie,Israel Auslandssemester

Nablus is a 100.000 residents city in the north of the Westbank. The biggest palestinian refugee camp ‘Balata’ is situated close to the city. It was built 1950 and around 30000 people are living on one sqarekilometer. Frightening in all the city and especially in Balata are all the martyrer posters on the houses, even [...]

Hebron

In Fotografie,Israel Auslandssemester

Before I forget, here are some impressions of Hebron, another city in the westbank i visited last week. The problem is that many jewish settlements are situated in, or very close to the city. Some of them are illegal. That means huge tensions between israeli and palestinian residents. The settlers are protected by many soldiers [...]

Betlehem

In Fotografie,Israel Auslandssemester

Die Stadt Betlehem kenne ich schon seit dem Kindergarten vor allem von Krippenspielen an Weihnachten. Maria, Josef, die heiligen drei Könige, Kühe, Schafe und das Jesuskind im Stall. Heute ist es eher wegen seiner brisanten Lage erwähnenswert. Knapp 20 Kilometer entfernt von Jerusalem, in den palästinensischen Autonomiegebieten liegt die 30000 Einwohner große Stadt. Als Tourist [...]
