Eagles
RANDOM NOTES. The atmosphere under these floodlights was surreal, like in an American movie. The bond and spirit of the team were so present.
Magazine
Looking at photographs
STUFF WE LEARN FROM TIME. Do you sometimes wish you could turn back time? Me: yes – but only if I knew then what I know today.
Nevertheless
NEVERTHELESS. When life gets crazy, intentionally take time to document the present as it is. Snap – breathe – feel the feet on the ground – pray – trust. Nevertheless.
Intentions
ABOUT INTENTIONAL PLANNING. A plan and a clear intention is very important for a photoshoot and it can be very helpful in everyday life, too.
Secrets
ABOUT THE SECRETS WE KEEP. Christine Eggert is an Instagram Influencer and for years she had kept a secret. Letting it go was not just helpful for her and her career, but others can feel encouraged, too.
Looking back…
IN HINDSIGHT When looking at old photographs, I have been noticing that times often appear nicer as they felt when I was passing them.
Postcards in London
ABOUT THE STORIES WE TELL. For my new photo project „A day in your life” I have had postcards printed and have started placing them in shops and coffee places in London.
See this day
THE CAMERA AS A TOOL TO SEE NOW. One of the most important reasons why I came up with the “A day in your life” project is, that I hope to encourage us (me included) to appreciate what we have and who we are today. This is so essential for living.
Day in your life
DOCUMENT YOUR “FULL EXPERIENCE OF LIFE”. Whatever happens (or whatever doesn`t happen), there`ll always be opportunities for pictures. However eventless or mundane our day may be, we still can document what we see and how we feel with our camera.
Autumn
ABOUT THE SPECIAL FEELING AT THE START OF AUTUMN. “April has never meant much to me, autumn seems to be that season of beginning, of spring.” – Truman Capote in Breakfast at Tiffany`s.
Shine and go with the flow
How do you react when people don`t act how you would like them to act and when situations don`t turn out as you would like them to go?
Feel more to see more
HOW FEELING MORE HELPS YOU SEE MORE. Do you wonder how to slow down time? Or how to get more out of the moments that just keep coming at you and running straight past you?
Style
HOW TO DRESS IN YOUR STYLE. I`ve never really thought about what style or “finding your style” really means. In the German dictionary, style is described as „a characteristic way to express something”.
Picture your Highlights
Give it a try and make a “pictures of summer” album. The major surprise will come later: Looking back after let`s say a few months and going through your highlight pictures, it will hit you: How blessed you are! How many good moments you captured that otherwise would have passed unnoticed.
Vision
HOW A CLEAR VISION CAN HELP US in OUR CREATIVE CAREER – AND LIFE. When making decisions or planning, ask: Does this serve my purpose? This way we can move forward according to our values.
Ditch that camera bag
WHY HAVING NO CAMERA BAG CAN IMPROVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY. …here`s where your camera is supposed to be: Hanging over your shoulder and ready to shoot. That means the lens cap is either at home or in our pocket.
Sustainable Jeans
A SHOPPING STRATEGY FOR BUYING SUSTAINABLE JEANS ON A BUDGET. One thing I really cannot stand is wearing jeans that don`t fit me well, or that aren`t of my currently preferred style. A good pair of jeans can actually make an outfit. And a bad one can ruin it.
Self-image
“I PRAISE YOU, FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE…” I want to look at my picture saying: Yes that`s me with a beating heart that is capable to hope and a mouth that is able to smile bright.
Dress like you want to be
FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT. This principle can be helpful with a lot of situations. Some people even claim it can make you rich.
Seeing fresh
HOW SEEING WITHOUT THINKING HELPS WITH OUR PHOTOGRAPHY. The concept is to capture the moment of “seeing fresh”.
Feelgood Photography
HOW A SPECIAL FELING MAKES A SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPH. When feeling emotional, have your camera with you. In my experience, I tend to see more when I feel good.
Lockdown Photography
HOW HARD TIMES CAN HELP YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY. Do you recall the last days before your personal Corona lockdown? I remember them like it was yesterday and the pictures that I`ve taken.
New Year
NEW YEAR INSIGHTS.
As we start the new year, it`s a good time to go through all our photos of this year. Of course, to reflect on the past twelve months.
Life is now
WHY WE SHOULDN`T TAKE LATER FOR GRANTED. This life, don`t say “I can do that later to something that you fancy doing.
Light-Photography
HOW TO CREATE MOOD AND FEELING WITH LIGHT. Some of my favourite photographs are of light. By that, I mean light as the main element; those pictures that are purely about the light.
Character-Style (How to dress with character)
HOW TO DRESS WITH GENUINE STYLE AND CHARACTER. In fittings at Wunderkind, Wolfgang Joop sometimes grabbed the fabric of a perfectly ironed skirt or blouse and creased and puffed it up slightly to make it look more “alive”.
Story (about the pleasure of not having)
… Time went on again. Just seconds before it had stopped for her. She thought about their little chat and how he had looked this morning: like New York …
Capture the 50:50
BE OK WITH THE 50:50 OF LIFE by photographing the full human experience – including positive as well as negative, and everything inbetween.
Shadow stories
HOW TO TELL STORIES WITH SHADOWS. Have you ever been out and wondered how to take a picture with yourself in the scene – but without taking a typical selfie?
