Alf and i went on the road again for our Doppelzett column on his blog Grossvrtig. This time we went to Siemensstadt in north-western Berlin and teamed up with Loveco.shop from Berlin for their autumn collection 2020.

I am pleased to be represented by Hallo Kanus still growing photography department from now on. Feels like some unknown territory but exactly right to start from here after some hiatus.

Time to start paddling!

During lockdown due to the spread of the Corona virus, Yana Wernicke and Jonas Feige had the wonderful idea of letting photographers communicate through their images. Head over to stayathome.photography for my conversation with Walter Toms from Brazil and many many others.

For this years edition of Hochschule Augsburgs "Werkwoche" i have been invited to give a workshop entitled "Augsburg Unseen - periphery as photographic place".
I feel honoured and i am looking forward to be working with the students for three intense days at the end of november.

I had the great pleasure to meet Esther Haase at this years Oberstdorfer Fotogipfel wich will be under her patronage in 2020.

I had the pleasure to photograph the first ever professional eRacing team put together by Rhys Howell for Canyon Bicycles.

eRacing? Yeah - i also dind´t have any idea about it before but we decided to give the images the look and feel of those wild nineties warehouse raves in the middle of nowhere. The whole set of pictures will be released later this year - once its indoor season again! Lets enjoy summer first!
