Behind the Scenes of “GLAUBE”

My new show GLAUBE | LIEBE | HOFFNUNG (Faith, Love, Hope) has finally opened last weekend (Details here and here) and I am very happy how well it was received! As promised in my last post I will be sharing a lot of background info and BTS video from the shoots involved in the production. The project itself derives it’s title from three principal images. Today we will start with a closer look at the creation of GLAUBE (Faith).

It all started back in November 2008, when we set out on a beautiful autumn day to create the image above. In facty it started a lot earlier than that, because the planning and pre-production for this one took almost two months. And as the title of the image suggests, quite a bit of it had to do with keeping the faith…

(Keep on reading + video after the break)

GLAUBE | LIEBE | HOFFNUNG - Grand Opening Tonight!

It has been a little quiet around the blog for a while. I have been working full throttle on my new exhibition entitled GLAUBE | LIEBER | HOFFNUNG (Faith, Love, Hope) which will open tonight at Galerie Monika Wertheimer, Switzerland.

Faith, Love and Hope are the atoms of human existence. Everything we feel, do and think is ultimately driven by one or all of these sentiments. The original combination of these terms derives from age old religious concepts and was intended as a guidance to humanity. But humanity is not quite as simple and thankfully much more complex. Faith can misguide us, love can blind and bind us and hope sometimes does die. Join me in a visual exploration of the human condition!

Above is one of three principal images from the project, entitled “GLAUBE” (Faith). In the weeks to come I’ll be feeding the blog with a lot of background info and behind the scenes videos from the creation of these images - so stay tuned!

The grand opening will start tonight (31 October, 2009) at 5pm. The exhibition will be on display through 6 December 2009.

More to come…

Nicolas Henri goes T-Online

.

Deutsche Telekom, Germany’s foremost communications corporation, recently launched a new online photography magazine called Augenblicke.  Affiliated with T-Online, their prominent web platform, Augenblicke features news from the photographic community and the portfolios of contemporary and emerging photographers around the world. I was very honored when I was approached by the PE of Augenblicke to have an excerpt of my portfolio shown! It went online last night - have a look here!
