Merry Christmas

Alright, once again it has been more quiet around this blog than I had intended. But I sure won’t miss the opportunity to say thank you and wish you the happiest holiday season possible! Many folks supported me in my photographic endeavors this year and I am very grateful for that!

The image below was taken two days ago for a series I’m working on. While it’s not your classic Christmas postcard, it reminds me that some of us don’t have that perfectly decorated and warm home to go to this Christmas…

More to come soon…

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…

RoyalBLUSH - The Shoot

I recently shot another installment of promo images for the Swiss handbag label RoyalBLUSH. Things were a bit rushed, because the images had to be ready for the GREENshowroom, part of the Mecedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin. All in all we had little more than a week to shoot, process and get things printed.

In this post I’ll cover the speedy shoot and in part two I will explain how I used the powerful tools of Adobe Lightroom 2 to process and retouch 9 images in less than a day! We’ll have behind the scenes video and a free Lightroom Preset for download!
