I was invited by RICOH IMAGING to give presentations at Salon De La Photo in Paris from 11th - 12th October, 2024. My presentation was about my projects I photographed with the Ricoh GR System.

For Salon De La Photo I worked out a brand new presentation that I call „The All Things Camera.“ Inspired by a quote from Gary Winnogrand („All Things Are Photographable“). It...

In september I joined another GR Cities event in Stockholm. GR Cities is an Event Series by RICOH IMAGING that serves to connect the local GR community and learn from existing users of the brand. My role during these events is to produce a video report and engage with the community. This time I also gave a presentation that I was preparing for another event. It was my first time in Stockholm. A great city for street photography! I only wished I could have stayed longer… Overall it was another...

How lucky I am to be living in Hamburg, Germany. Is what I thought when I heard about the upcoming Retrospective of the influential (I should probably say THE most influential) Street & Documentary Photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. This was the first time in 20 Years that the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation has provided original Prints for a proper retrospective. I had the opportunity to join a guided tour through the Exhibition through the Photography Organistion FREELENS, which I am a...

Photopia is germany's newest and most important imaging fair since the Photokina era ended in 2018. As a Photographer from Hamburg, the location of the Photopia fair is especially convenient for me but despite of that I have never visited the fair until this year, 2023. Somehow my work shedule didn't align with the past events and over time, more and more people would tell me to be a part of it. The German Street Photography Festival has also been held inside the Photopia so I missed that too...
