This shot was taken at a shooting for a fashion and hair stylist in 2010 in a beautiful location in southern Germany. The room was quite dark, so I used two white softboxes on my FL 50R wireless flashes to light this shot with minimal post processing.
A detail shot of the bumper cars’ roof construction with the ferris wheel in the background. This was taken at Rosenheimer Herbstfest in southern Bavaria, a smaller version of the Oktoberfest, hosted each year to around 1 million visitors. The sky was just clearing from the rain and provided with a nice backdrop. I am still slightly upset the light of one of the cars on the ferris wheel was broken.
This beautiful water villa awaits you on the island of One & Only Reethi Rah Resort in the Maldives – definitely a place for a relaxing holiday.
Back in 2009 I visited Paris for the first time – the city is not quite my style but I enjoyed exploring it a lot (in total I walked close to 50 km over three days). This shot was taken on a rather rainy day, when the sun decided to come out in the evening, casting a beautiful glow on the city, which I tried to recreate with a little post processing. Really liking the architecture on the buildings as well.
I had the chance to photograph a Cheetah this year in South Africa. The opportunity came up when the animal was glancing at my camera between the thick bushes of the area, resulting in this shot.
Really liking the color palette in this portrait shoot I did a while back. And yes I know – should have watched out for that power plug.
Lisbon’s Oriental Station designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava for the EXPO 1998. He was inspired to this building by rising trees, which is very visible on the train level. The lower levels are almost entirely bare concrete, giving the building a very raw and industrial feel, which is in contrast to the roof construction. One of my favorite pieces of architecture.
I took this shot in the Summer of 2011 during a visit to Estonia’s capital Tallinn for a friend’s wedding. The days before were rainy and so this park was riddled with puddles. When the sun came out on a late afternoon, the opportunity for this literally picture perfect moment came up. I actually sat there a while to wait until there were no more shadows on this medieval tower and then tried a couple of angles until I arrived at this composition. I particularly like the leaf in the puddle.
This shot was taken in Ithaca, upstate New York during my time at Cornell University. Early May was the time when spring slowly arrived in the the areas and nature finally came to life after a horrible winter. I took this shot with the 50-200 lens in order to achieve the Bokeh effect from the light in the background. Editing just involved some slight contrast and exposure corrections.
