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.

“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

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.
Back to analog: old stock film emulation
Emulating old stock film brings back the look of analog film into digital photography. Follow my tutorial on how to work with the Lightroom presets from VSCO.
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
Painting with the camera
The more experience I collect with Lightroom, the more I realize, how much I’m able to express what I call “painting with the camera”.
Winter storm: (sort of) High-Key editing
Are High-Key and snow a good combination? As for my taste, I guess so: upon editing pictures I took in winterly Allgäu, I immediately went for that look.
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.
