Experiences, notions, successes and fails from 15 years in analog and digital photography!
I have been somewhat creative this weekend and uploaded another video of the politicians series for the newspaper In this short clip you can see me taking photos of Thomas Iseke. I wanted to show the politicians not typically but more private. So Steffi and I met him in his hometown at the “Lake Steinhude”, the biggest lake in northern Germany, right before sunset.

Hey ho, I just finished the upload for my new Behind the scenes Video (#5) on YouTube. The photo shoot was in late summer 2009 with Dorota Szymanska (you may know her from one of my earlier posts) and it was one of my first assignments I did with several Nikon Speedlites.
