Masquerade

2012-01-13T07:29:00.000-08:00

So yesterday I finally worked with a new face together, she is an amazing Make Up Artist, too and I hope to work much more often together with her. Actually we had a complete different Idea in our heads, but of course it started to rain and we decided to do an indoor shoot! I feel like its something completely different from my usual work and it makes me a little happy :D
I hope you guys like it;

First Shoot 2012

2012-01-05T08:30:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I had my real first Male Shoot with a good friend of mine. He really had none experience in modeling but I am actually kinda happy about the result and we had lotsa fun! It was freeezing outside and I am very sure that I will get sick the next days, but whatever. I Found great new locations and it was kinda a very inspiring trip for new locations! You can be super excited for upcoming shoots.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the results
And I took a really nice shot of my lil' Beany today which I want to show you,too

Last but not least my beautiful cat :D

Yesterday me and Isi decided to meet for a spontaneous shooting aswell because the weather looked really brilliant. So I told her to come as early as she can because I was afraid of a weather change (it rains alot here in germany, especially in winter). Anyways I did her hair and Make Up and she looked stunning. For the location I had something with a forest in my mind because I've remembered a beautiful location from my childhood memories next to a playground, so we went there. After 10 Minutes of Shooting and maybe 10-20 Useful pictures it started to rain. Poouuuring rain! This was like the fastest shooting i've ever had in my life! But I still like the outcomings, even If I don't have that much to show you! Enjoy

Speedlight Pro Kid Beauty Dish

2011-12-16T09:47:00.000-08:00

Today I met with an awesome videographer (and photographer) from my hometown, Glenn Hoffman. He's building his business right now, so we decided to meet so he can give me some advise. We went to his new Studio and Oh my god, i was SO friggin' jealous! It's GIANT! Sooooo big. It took my breath away!! It's great to get to know somebody who's already into business and really wants to help you out. He borrowed me his 85mm till beginning of January because I told him that this is the next lens I am going to buy, so he gave me one of his, till I have mine. He's sooo nice! He also borrowed me soft boxes and flashes and stuff, can't wait to test it!
He also gave me the Speedlight Pro Kid Beauty Dish. He doesn't need it anymore and decided to give it to me as a gift! AH I still can't believe it, i really didn't expected that!! I hope one day I am going to help him out,too. It's was such a great meeting! Can't wait to meet again with him and share informations.

my heart takes over

Because Andrea got sick yesterday, I decided to take spontaneously Photos of Celine. So it's nothing really special, but I am kinda happy with the out-comings if you consider that I was out of Business for almost 1 1/2 years. I am SO glad to be back, I SOOOOO realized how much I missed my passion and that this is what I want to do for a living. Hopefully you enjoy the photos as much as I do. It was freeezing outside, i am so glad Celine is still alive. Haha. So yeah, I'm back and creative pictures will be following soon. You can be really really excited.

Let's talk about reflectors

2011-10-26T11:48:00.000-07:00

Today a very,very nice surprise came by mail. My long-hoped-for reflectors arrived. I ordered them last week from Amazon for just 13$, still can't believe how lucky I am again. Here the Link for those who are looking for some cheap and good reflectors. I have no idea what to expect yet, because I don't have any Test Models yet, but I promise I will show comparison pictures as soon as I can. This reflector is awesome, 5-in 1 and 43" (110CM) big. I SO wanna test it!
After unwrapping the reflector kinda 'jumped' right into my face and I was really impressed by the size. Now I just have one problem; HOW DO I FOLD THIS THING? For those who have similar problems and are as dumb as me, I found a nice YouTube Tutorial. If anyone has some with/without reflector pictures, don't hesitate to send them to me by E-Mail

Because some people told me, that the old Layout didn't had any connection to Photography, I tried to match the Layout more to my Portfolio . It's based on a Template, but I think it still suits very well, what do you think? Do you like it better? Let me know!

It's the little things in life..

Since I forgot the remote for my camera in Germany, yesterday my new one finally arrived.I bought it on Amazon for not even 4 bucks and it totally does it's job perfectly.
On the back of the remote you even have a button to set the timer. This remote is really, really easy to handle, which makes me happy. Going to test it the next days! Now I just keep waiting for my new reflectors. I've never worked with reflectors before and I am sure you don't necessarily need them, but I'm curious how it'll work for me.

I'm STILL not dead.

Hey folks,

i know it's been more then a year you've last seen any photography of mine, and people are probably starting to wonder if this is still part of my life and my passion. And to answer that question right away, yes - of course it is. Some of you might know that I am in the US for a while now and I really needed this year so far for myself, for growing up and for understanding what life is about and what I want for myself in life. It's just so crazy and I still feel I just came to the US yesterday. Time is flying. I am so thankful for every experience so far and hope that in the next year I am learning and grow even more. I travelled aloooot and saw and did many things here so far. I still can't believe how beautiful this country is and there is So much more to see.

But now I got to a point where I really start to miss my passion and miss doing what I love most- taking pictures.

Good news is, that I am slowly getting back on track and you can expect some results the next weeks and months. I don't want to rush it, because I really want to put some great afford in my next projects, so pleasssssse still be patient with me. But now you finally have to look something forward to.

I still want to thank you guys for still supporting me.

To my new blog- besides photography and behind the scene material, I also want to share a little of my life with you and what I am experiencing, my traveling and lifestyle. I hope you are going to like it!

So basically, the bottom-line of this post is; I AM BACK! and this time- for real.
