VISA OLYMPICS PRINTS OUT
I just got the first tear sheets from the VISA olympic campaign with MICHAEL PHELPS. Sweet. Love them !
OLYMPIC ATHLETES for VISA and the story behind
When do you have a photo job that gives you goose bumps and chills ? Even after all these years in this business, photographing olympic athletes is very very special for me. Athletes who dedicate their whole life just for these weeks to compete on the highest level possible against the very best athletes around [...]
LINCOLN MKZ VIDEO INSTALLATION “UP”
The last two weeks we were working on this cool Video installation called “UP” for the new LINCOLN MKZ. A car with a whole new feeling to drive. It has this awesome glass roof that opens up a whole new world while driving. So Billie from Brand Connections called me up and we decided to [...]
NEW VIDEO “SUNDAY”
This is my newest production, a BEAUTY and SPORTS video including still images. I hope you have as much fun watching it, as we had creating it. Thanks so much to all who where involved in this. Above all Ann who was a perfect model even though it was really cold out there. She gave [...]
VENICE BEACH
West Coast . Ahhhhh. Just so wonderful. The food, the weather, walking around in old worn out Converse and jeans, not a hint of hectic as in New York. We went with the kids to have some days off, see friends and family, go to the beach and relax. At the same time I prepared [...]
JULIA MANCUSO WRITES HER PRINCESS-DIARIES IN SNOW MAGAZINE !
While working on the design of my new Portfolios for 2012 today, I got an email with the PDF of the story about JULIA MANCUSO in SNOW MAGAZINE. It’s really cool when Julia writes about what goes on in her mind during and in between races. Well done Julia ! Of course it was real [...]
A SHORT PERSONAL NOTE
It is not really my thing to talk about my private life. But I would like to make a little exception. This year 2011 has been an incredible year of complete transformation. Not only did I marry my wonderful lady Amber, we also got our little baby girl Mila Vivienne. Our son Connor was the [...]
IT’S ABOUT TIME ! VISA THE CAMPAIGN.
For over five months I haven’t  blogged at all. That is not only because my baby girl Mila was born and I was busy staring at that little mensch and changing the diapers and all. It was also because I photographed the whole time for the new VISA campaign for the Olympics 2012 in London. [...]
OUR BABY WAITED UNTIL WE FINISHED SNOW SHOOTING
Last week I photographed olympic gold medal winner JULIA MANCUSO for SNOW MAGAZINE in a studio in New York. High fashion meets Sports. An easy task with Julia being a total professional in front of the camera! I will let you know when it comes out. Stunning she is, that’s for sure. So buckle up [...]
ELLIOTT ERWITT no.2
And here is an absolute wonderful video about Elliott Erwitt talking about his life. Take some time off and lean back and watch : ELLIOTT ERWITT ABOUT HIS LIFE
ELLIOTT ERWITT
ELLIOTT ERWITT is truly one of my favorite photographers of all times. I don’t want to praise his photography in every detail – I leave this to all the others – but the way he sees the world now and then is just beautiful. Although he embraces digital photography, he doesn’t use post production to [...]
COOL STENCIL ART BY THOMAS WITTE
My Brooklyn Navy Yard neighbor THOMAS WITTE just had an opening for his new exhibition AT HOME AND ABROAD at the B. Beamesderfer Gallery. Very cool stencil art work on glass and other material. He usually comes over to steel beer, chocolate or even a red bull out of my fridge and now that he [...]
RANKIN SHOW
Went to RANKIN opening show at MILK STUDIOS in NYC. Really cool images and a very nice guy this Rankin. Here is my favorite. How much better can one describe LOVE ?
daily sketches of the pregnant lady
it seems like everybody nowadays wants to have perfect images of his pregnant lady and the ladies want to have beautifully lit images of themselves. sleek and clean as an advertisement . My lady and I are both photographers, thats why I just went back to the roots and did some 1 minute sketches of [...]
LUST NO.7
After several layers and long drying phases LUST NO.7 is now ready. My last pieces are more rough to give a feel of long distance between the voyeur and his object. This time I wanted to have a closer feel. Revealing more details and painting with smaller brushes brings you closer to the desired object. [...]
WATER BOY
simple moments do not need many words. a boy. water. warm summer night. a light in the pool. a noodle to float on. all after a long day of beautiful summer vacation with friends and family. not to mention the big bowl of fresh italian pasta to be eaten at dinner soon. perfect live.
PICTURE PAINTINGS
this is a small selection of series of 4×5 polaroid images. they are all out of focus yet one knows exactly what is happening. as a complete opposite approach to my commercial world of photography these images look more like paintings than photographs. the so called imperfection is what makes the difference. it gives the [...]
