After both Sandisk and Western Digital made so much bad news about their external hard drives last year, I was looking for an alternative. Small external hard drives are simply important for shooting trips.

Taking photos by the sea is very beautiful. There is a lot of light as there is a huge flat area in front of you and the incredible amount of water is always breathtaking, too. The issue of tides should not be overlooked, though.
Stefan and Timo from the podcast After Shooting End spoke with me about my new photo book. As the talk is in German, I will switch to German now. Wir haben mehr als zwei Stunden über die Geschichten aus dem Buch gesprochen und wie alles entstanden ist.
Shipping my illustrated book overseas is damn expensive. There's no denying that. But I pack and ship the book in such a way that it can't be damaged en route, even if the parcel carrier treats it roughly.
Auf YouTube sehe ich mir viele Beiträge von Fotografen an. Manchmal sind es Kameratests oder spannende Lichtaufbauten. Am liebsten sind mir aber persönliche Einblicke in die Arbeit anderer Fotografen. Und jetzt bin ich selbst mal einer davon.
When you produce a book, the choice of paper is a crucial factor that often goes unnoticed by many. Every paper is different and for a high-quality printed matter, you have to take a few things into account. I would like to share the process of paper selection for my photo book with you and get more and more nerdy towards the end.
As a nude photographer, I have never been a missionary. Everyone should be free to decide whether they want to see nude photos or not. Whether they like my pictures or not. In this article I would like to draw attention to how artists like me are often discriminated against. It's a topic that is hardly ever talked about, yet it hurts.
It's done! After my books »Frisky« (2014) and »Sublime« (2018), I am happy to announce that my third coffee table book »Mellow« is now printed. As with my previous books, I was at the printing house for the entire printing process. Here is a little insight into the long day.
When you take pictures outside, especially around trees and grass, you might notice an annoying green color in your photos. It's like a tint that messes with the real colors. The automatic tools in your photo software try to help, but they often miss the mark. Getting rid of this green tint can be tricky.
A sale with a discount is normally made when something doesn't sell. Due to German legislation, however, this is different for my book.
Have you ever stopped to ponder the peculiar nature of brown? Unlike the vibrant primary and secondary colors that dominate our artistic palettes and digital screens, brown stands apart as a shade that doesn't neatly fit into the established color categories.
I have written about diffusion filters many times on this blog. Recently I bought lace socks for a shoot and the quality was so lousy that I could not use them. But they gave me an idea.
After Frisky and Sublime, here comes my third photo book. I've named it Mellow. The title has been fixed for a year and a half and I've been working on the pictures since 2019, so I'm all the more pleased to finally be able to tell you about it.
When I started photography, the annual Victoria' Secret Fashion Show was the hottest shit. There was no YouTube back then and getting the CBS broadcast was difficult for me in Germany. I remember at a party we had the show on loop on TV. Because the catwalk music was really cool and the whole vibe of the supermodels was just inspiring.
With the new possibilities that AI offers in image processing, the question of how to deal with it morally also arises. Which use is justifiable? I have tried to create guidelines for myself and would like to communicate them transparently.
Every year, I look forward to my annual end of the year article. It's the longest and most detailed article of the year. Reviewing the entire year is always nice for me too. Only this year, it's kind of hard for me. I don't feel like I've experienced any real highlights and I'm saddened by world events.
Are you tired of the cold, clinical look of digital photography? Do you want to add a little warmth and personality to your shots? Look no further than diffusion filters. Here's how to make your own.
As we all know, inspiration can be found everywhere. Sometimes you don't even really know what the inspiration will be for. This may sound a bit muddled, but in university I learned to consciously keep my eyes open in all directions. And that's how I discovered this.
Sometimes I think that I could never live up North during the winter. It would be way too dark for me. Even in Germany, it's too gloomy for me from October to March. Today, I learned that there's a term for my preference for daylight: Photophilia.
On instagram I became aware of a photographer who posts an incredible number of photos and since these photos are also particularly beautiful, I thought it would be nice if we could meet so that I can write a portrait about him. No sooner said than done.
Nowadays, photos are taken all the time, but many people don't like to be photographed. They are afraid of not being photogenic. As a photographer, this angers me and I wonder what role the psyche actually plays in being photographed. It's a fascinating topic if you dive deep into it.
There's been a lot of talk in recent months about the new Artificial Intelligence in Photoshop. Especially the topic of Generative Fill and the wondrous things you can do with it. I downloaded the beta version and took a look at it as well.
For the past few years, I have traditionally offered a quartet of small artworks in museum grade quality in passepartouts in December. This year three new series are available again. But already in November.
Last night I woke up from the rain. It was pelting so loudly against the window and on the street, a question arose in me. When we think of summer weather, we immediately have a postcard sky in mind. Yet this summer in Frankfurt, there was virtually no idyllic blue sky. Why is that?
