Just a quick update today. Below is a little BTS from last night’s grand opening of photo09 in Zurich. The place was packed with 1500+ people and we all had great time. It’s always nice to meet folks year after year at the biggest photo event in Switzerland. Among some old friends like Klaus-Martin Gareis I had the pleasure of meeting Boris Baldinger, someone I have known “digitally” for some 3 years but had never met in person until last night!
For the third year in a row I will be part of the biggest Swiss Photo Expo, the photo 09! The creme de la creme of Swiss pro and amateur photographers gather for 4 days to show their favorite work from the past year.
I will be showing an excerpt of GLAUBE | LIEBE | HOFFNUNG. The show opens to the general public on Friday 15 January and will run until Monday 18 January. If you happen to be in Switzerland next weekend make sure to drop in! (and give me a heads up so I can meet you!)
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…
