Masu wins CPF 10/1

It has been a while, but for sake of completeness and chronology of this blog, I want to mention the award I recently got for the reportage about Masu. The story is not finished and I hope will manage to complete it till the end of summer this year.

Anyhow, read more about the Award at their (german) Homepage.

The beginning of a story: Masu |Part 2

I continued working on the story about Masu and want to share the progress here with you. Everything, especially the video, is still in a very very early stage but I thought it might be interesting for some of you to follow this story growing.

So here we go, you can find the intro and some more images below. Tell me what you think and how I can make it better. Thank you.

The beginning of a story: Masu

I am really glad to say that I have started working on a new long-term reportage again. You may have seen the Portraits I have done some days ago of Masu, if not – go take a look! Anyhow, I decided to continue to work together with him and if everything goes well you can expect to see a nice Slideshow about him and his work till end of january.

First photos from yesterday below – tell me what you think about it!

Srbija, photobook

Almost a year ago I traveled trough serbija and worked on an essay about the country and its people.

Some time ago, on my old website, I already uploaded it to be seen in its entirety. But somehow I didnt put it on the new site… my bad. Anyway, now it is here again and ready to be seen.

You can find some images and the link to the whole book below.

You can find the whole presentation here, and you can buy a hardcopy via blurb here. Enjoy.

UEFA Cup: Germany vs. Turkey

Back in June 2008 we had a little project with our photojournalism class where we had to cover the public-viewing in Hannover during the soccer match of Germany vs. Turkey. Then we put it in a little slideshow where everyone of us could show up to 3 images, you can take a look at it here.

Here is what I had when the day was over.

Fashion Show Hannover

It has been a while since i got the task from my professor to cover a fashion show organized by the fashion-designer class at our university. At first I thought it will be realy boring, but because i had the chance to go behind the scenes it tourned out realy interessting and was a great exercise.

By the way, the girls did realy a great job!

Castor 2008

Back in autumn of 2008 I headed out with some friends to shoot the Castor-Transport which was coming from La Hague (france) all the way to Gorleben (germany).

One could probably assume that it was pretty exciting with all the police runing around, shouting and trying to catch the demonstrators who were blocking the railway… But to be honest, it was kinda dissapointing. I had the impression that the people were not fighting for their rights or their belive, but only for the hell of it. Pretty much like the 1. May in Berlin.

What a storyboard shouldnt look like

So the other day a friend of mine and me had to do a homework-assignment for university, which was basicaly to shoot our way from home to school… sounds dull? True.

We tried to make the best of it but i would lie if i say that we had fun. Anyway, you can se what we came up with below. The images on the left are from me and the ones on the right are from Andy. And you should ever come in the unconfortable situation of doing something like this, keep in mind that vertical images are not used in a storyboard… who would have thought?
