Looking back: 2019’s favourite photos
Every year, for Christmas, I choose my favourite pictures taken that very year and create a calendar, that I give away to family and friends.

Hot summer: cool cascades
A hot summer day, a cool location and a light camera-set: not the worst plan to spend a day off with a friend.
Exhibition: public space redefined
The Department for Public Appearances has been designing and realizing art projects and interventions in public spaces since 1995.
My iPhone: a handy camera
“The best camera is the one you…” – no need to finish this phrase, since it is a commonplace phrase amongst photographers. So just have fun with the gallery I created from my latest photos, I took with my iPhone 6.
Looking back: 2017’s favourite photos
I am sure, you’ve experienced that, too: sometimes, your hobby comes to an inexplicable halt. Sometimes completely, sometimes partially. Looking back into the year 2017, I did not find as many photos as in the previous years.
Looking back: 2016’s favourite photos
2016 has been a mixed year, both in gear and in activity. Gearwise, I got myself a Sony Alpha 6000. Activity-wise, there were three main events to remember
Theatre: editing “The Mousetrap”
Theatre photography is fascinating – especially if you can get onstage with the actors during a dress rehearsal: intriguing perspectives are the reward.
Munich: a Zebra in a WhiteBox
“WhiteBox” is a new artists’ studio community located in an art-oriented quarter in Munich. I documented the opening with vintage glass and a Sony A6000
Looking back: 2015’s favourite photos
When I was looking back to my first “DSLR year” in 2014, I wrote: “so many experiences”. This still is true for 2015. Join me for a “photowalk” through the year gone by…
Amalgamum: going beyond constraints
How can you go beyond the constraints of a single picture and dissolve time, perspective, movement, form and even color? My project AMALGAMUM tries to achieve that…
Sunsets: turn around 180°, once
How good it sometimes feels to have the camera with you – especially, when the light becomes unexpectedly beautiful at sunset.
Thumbs up: Sunsets & Lightroom 6
Don’t we all love sunsets? Browsing my photo-library, I discovered some old ones and added a few new ones exploring the new tools in Lightroom 6
Looking back: 2014’s favourite photos
Looking back to my photographic year 2014 – full of new experiences, so much learned…
Plugins & presets: stylizing a photo
Presets and plugins in Lightroom and Photoshop offer a wide variety to stylize your photos. Here are my experiences using a real-world example.
Supermoon: a chance taken
On Sept. 9th, 2014, I finally succeeded in capturing the super-moon after the disappointingly cloudy and unsuccessful Supermoon-day in August.
Supermoon: a chance missed
On Aug. 10th, 2014, Stuttgart waited for the supermoon to rise at 8.15 pm. Being a full moon and extremely close to the earth, it should present itself in full glory.
Lightroom: changing your perception
My first encounter with Lightroom was something like “too many knobs”… I just was so used to different image editing software from my Windows-years
Nightly Stuttgart: there ARE stars!
Freezing cold winter nights with a clear sky: I guess, most people hurry back to their warm homes. But not, if you just read how to take pictures of the night sky
To fish-eye, de-fish or wide-angle?
After calibrating my Samyang 8mm Fisheye, I went downtown Stuttgart to try it out for the first time. I thought, the new Art Museum would be a great subject
iPhone: a good camera?
I never wanted to take pictures with my iPhone. That was in 2011. Then I took some and was surprised. Yes: it’s in no way a replacement for my DSLR, but why being stubborn and demonize the iPhone’s camera?
Marleen Session Gallery
On June 8th 2014, my dear theatre colleague Marleen agreed to stand in for my first “photo-shoot” – a spontaneous idea and completely unplanned.
