If I were to name all the celebrities Christof Sage photographed, it would probably take hours. Bill Clinton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Morgan Freeman, even the Pope and the Queen. And of course all the celebs in his home country Germany \u2013 Angela Merkel, Thomas Gottschalk, Boris Becker,\u2026 Attached to the shoulder straps of his cameras are hundreds of admission wristbands of all the big events he`s been to as a press photographer. For years, Christof Sage was traveling for magazines in order to photograph the most famous people in this world. Now, he has published his own glossy magazine \u2013 \u201cSage\u201d. We met up in his home in Stuttgart-Filderstadt.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Christof, there are so many wanting to be high-profile photographers. Yet, only few make it. Why did you make it to the top?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

That has to grow. You start in your twenties by getting into events. After time, people see you more and more often, if you present yourself well in terms of looks and attitude. But that takes years. In the Seventies, I attended the most important events. Then you get booked. In the Eighties, I photographed international celebrities at the set of the famous TV-Show \u201cWetten, dass\u2026\u201d. I started from the bottom. Things didn`t come easy, I wasn`t left with an inheritance or anything, I have worked very hard and with great diligence to achieve this.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Would you have thought, when you were twenty years old, that you would be photographing people like Bill Clinton one day?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No, I only knew that I wanted to have a house and a Porsche when I`m 60. I advise young people: You need to have a goal in mind. Where do you want to be when you`re 60? You need to divide and plan your life \u2013 what do you do between the ages of 20 and 30, 30 and 40? Before starting an apprenticeship, ask yourself: Do you have fun doing what you do? It`s not about money, you need to have love. I really do enjoy working with people. I have been working in a hundred different countries. That`s not that easy to achieve as a photographer. It worked out because I have worked twice as much as others, 17 hours each day. It requires great diligence \u2013 but that all comes back to you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Why did you choose people-photography as your thing? I mean you could have as well become, say, for example, a landscape photographer, couldn`t you?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I love people. The press likes to call me a celebrity photographer, but in fact, I`m a communication photographer, a people photographer \u2013 I photograph people. And communication is very important for my job: You have to do a warm-up with people. You can`t just place yourself in front of people`s faces \u2013 \u201cHere we go!\u201d But you need to make people loosen up. Only once you managed to do that, you can start taking photos. You should see me photographing abroad: I often don`t understand the language, but I joke, and they understand me at once.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

You take pictures of people who don`t necessarily look like models, who need to look as good as possible on photos though \u2013 after all, they`re in the public eye. Are you retouching a lot?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I don`t have time for retouching. I`ve got jobs that are demanding 400 portraits in one day \u2013 from morning to late in the evening. You`ve got 30 to 60 seconds for each person, you can exchange a few words only. I give directions, make chit-chat, say \u201eStand like this or like that\u201d \u2013 then, boom \u2013 photo. That`s a different way of photographing than it`s commonly known. That is fun, but only very few photographers have that skill. That`s what I`m getting booked for. People know: When Sage is in the house, everything runs like clockwork.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Well, I need to be quick. The camera is pre-set \u2013 I don`t have time to configure settings when I`m shooting. The camera has to run in burst mode. The photographer Helmut Newton once asked me at an event: \u201cWhy do you use flash? You don`t need to \u2013 look, I photograph using only ambient light.\u201d But he was no contract photographer. He was there for fun, not to deliver contract work. My work is about being fast. When I`m at a horse race I have to photograph 200 couples, approach everyone, observe who belongs to whom, when is which person at which table. Then you need to act fast, everything has to be done chop chop. That`s a completely different way of working. I do enjoy photographing these kinds of events \u2013 I`m in full action and completely in my element.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Do you have a career highlight, maybe a photograph, that you love the most?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I don`t have that. Every photo is important to me. I have attended great events and am very grateful for that. If I set myself a goal I make it happen. There`s no such thing as can`t. Sometimes it needs three or four attempts. It has taken me years to get to know the right people to get accreditation for events like the Golden Globes. But that`s what makes it exciting. If you really want to achieve something, then you will succeed. But you won`t if you just try half-heartedly \u2013 then you`ll never make it. One has to be born to work independently, it`s not everybody\u2019s cup of tea.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Your career started with film photography. How did you perceive the switch to digital? <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Digital cameras have changed my work for the better. First, we refused to make the change, but only half a year in we bought the first digital camera for about 16000 Euro. You can now take better pictures with a smartphone than with that camera. When on delegation trips with the former chancellor Helmut Kohl and fellow politician Erwin Teufel the German press agency dpa wanted photos of every day. I had to transport camera films accompanied by escort vehicles. And while doing that I was missing on site. With digital everything was so much quicker and less complicated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

That`s quite a sign of trust that people like the former chancellor would take you on their state visits...<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It`s been written about me: \u201eDiscretion is his life insurance\u201c. When traveling with famous people you hear and see a lot of confidential things. Until this day I have been keeping my word of honor. Whatever private matters I would see or hear, I would never make them public. Only few are able to keep that word \u2013 there are people selling secrets and photos that aren`t meant for the public eye for 50 Euro.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

And now there`s another milestone in your career: You`ve just published your very own magazine \u201cSage\u201d!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You need to come up with new things all the time. Ask yourself: Where are my strengths? And then work on them further. Have new ideas. Where can I place my work on the market? Because of COVID, all events are being canceled for more than a year now, everything takes place online, so press photographers have nothing to photograph. Therefore I thought: If I can`t photograph, I have other people photograph for me and publish my own magazine \u201cSage\u201d. Just lounging around or tidying my office all day isn`t for me. The magazine is a success \u2013 almost all copies have sold and I have to print more now.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Wollte ich alle Stars und Sternchen aufz\u00e4hlen, die Christof Sage schon fotografiert hat, s\u00e4\u00dfe ich vermutlich noch in zwei Stunden an dieser Aufz\u00e4hlung. Bill Clinton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Morgan Freeman, …- sogar Papst und Queen. Und nat\u00fcrlich s\u00e4mtliche Bekanntheiten aus Deutschland \u2013 Angela Merkel, Thomas Gottschalk, Boris Becker, und und und. An den Schultergurten seiner Kameras h\u00e4ngen hunderte von Eintrittsb\u00e4ndchen von all den gro\u00dfen Veranstaltungen, die er als Pressefotograf besucht hat. Jahrelang war er f\u00fcr Magazine unterwegs, um die ber\u00fchmtesten Menschen dieser Welt abzulichten. Jetzt hat er sein eigenes Hochglanzmagazin herausgebracht \u2013 \u201eSage\u201c. Wir haben uns in seinem Zuhause in Filderstadt getroffen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sowas muss wachsen. Du f\u00e4ngst mit zwanzigmal an, in Veranstaltungen reinzukommen. Irgendwann sehen dich die Leute immer \u00f6fter, wenn du dich optisch und menschlich gut verkaufst. Das dauert aber Jahre. In den 70er Jahren war ich bei den wichtigsten Events dabei. Dann wirst du gebucht. In den 80er Jahren habe ich bei der Fernsehshow \u201eWetten, dass…\u201c Weltstars fotografiert. Ich habe bei null angefangen. Mir wurde nichts geschenkt, ich habe nichts geerbt, habe mir alles selbst hart erarbeitet \u2013 mit sehr viel Flei\u00df.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nein, ich wusste nur, dass ich mit sechzig ein Haus und einen Porsche m\u00f6chte. Ich rate jungen Menschen immer: Ihr braucht ein Ziel vor Augen: Wo wollt ihr mit 60 sein? Ihr m\u00fcsst euch das Leben einteilen – was macht ihr von 20 bis 30, von 30 bis 40? Bevor ihr eine Ausbildung beginnt, \u00fcberlegt euch: Habe ich eigentlich Spa\u00df an dem was ich mache? Es geht nicht ums Geld, du brauchst Liebe daf\u00fcr. Mir macht es Freude, mit Menschen zu arbeiten. Ich habe in hundert L\u00e4ndern auf der Erde gearbeitet. Das musst du als Fotograf erstmal schaffen. Das hat funktioniert, weil ich doppelt so viel gearbeitet habe, als die anderen, jeden Tag 17 Stunden. Du musst sehr viel Flei\u00df aufbringen \u2013 aber das kommt dann alles zur\u00fcck.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Ich liebe die Menschen. Die Presse betitelt mich gerne als Promi- oder Star-Fotograf, aber eigentlich bin ich Kommunikationsfotograf, People-Fotograf \u2013 ich fotografiere Menschen. Und Kommunikation ist dabei wichtig: Du muss mit den Leuten erstmal ein Warm-up machen. Du kannst dich nicht einfach hinstellen \u2013 \u201eso jetzt geht`s los\u201c. Sondern, du musst die Leute auflockern. Erst wenn du das geschafft hast, kann`s losgehen. Du solltest mich mal sehen, wenn ich im Ausland fotografiere: Ich verstehe die Sprache oft nicht, mache einen Witz daraus und die anderen verstehen mich sofort.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Du fotografierst ja Menschen, die nicht unbedingt wie Models aussehen, aber auf Fotos m\u00f6glichst gut aussehen m\u00fcssen \u2013 schlie\u00dflich stehen sie in der \u00d6ffentlichkeit. Bist du da viel am Retuschieren?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Zeit f\u00fcr Retuschieren habe ich nicht. Ich habe Auftr\u00e4ge, da mache ich 400 Portraits an einem Tag \u2013 von morgens bis abends. Da hast du f\u00fcr jeden 30 bis 60 Sekunden, zwei S\u00e4tze. Ich f\u00fchre Regie, halte kurz Small-Talk, sage schon mal \u201eSteh so oder so\u201c \u2013 dann, zack \u2013 Foto. Das ist eine andere Art zu fotografieren, als man es f\u00fcr gew\u00f6hnlich kennt. Das macht Spa\u00df, aber das k\u00f6nnen wirklich nur wenige Fotografen. Daf\u00fcr werde ich gebucht \u2013 die Leute wissen: wenn Sage da ist, l\u00e4uft`s.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Bei mir muss es schnell gehen. Die Kamera ist voreingestellt \u2013 ich habe keine Zeit, noch Sachen einzustellen. Der Motor muss laufen. Der Fotograf Helmut Newton fragte mich mal auf einer Veranstaltung: \u201eWarum verwendest du Blitz? Das brauchst du doch nicht – schau, ich fotografiere mit dem Licht, das da ist\u201c. Aber er ist kein Auftragsfotograf. Er war da zum Vergn\u00fcgen, nicht um Auftragsarbeit abzuliefern. Bei mir geht es um Schnelligkeit. Bei einem Pferderennen muss ich 200 Paare durchfotografieren, muss auf jeden zugehen, muss beobachten, wer geh\u00f6rt zu wem, wann ist wer an welchem Tisch. Da musst du schnell handeln, alles muss zack-zack gehen, das ist eine ganz andere Arbeit. Ich muss volle Leistung bringen. Und nach zwei Stunden ist es vorbei. Solche Events machen mir Spa\u00df \u2013 da bin ich in Action, ganz in meinem Element.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Hast du ein Karriere-Highlight, ein Foto, \u00fcber das du dich besonders freust?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Sowas habe ich nicht. F\u00fcr mich ist jedes Foto wichtig. Ich habe tolle Veranstaltungen mitgemacht und bin daf\u00fcr sehr dankbar. Wenn ich mir Ziele setzte, verwirkliche ich sie. Geht nicht gibt`s nicht.\u00a0 Manchmal braucht es drei oder vier Anl\u00e4ufe. Es hat Jahre gedauert, um die richtigen Leute kennenzulernen, um Akkreditierungen f\u00fcr Veranstaltungen wie die Golden Globes zu bekommen. Aber darin liegt der Reiz. Wenn man etwas wirklich erreichen will, dann erreicht man es auch. Aber nicht, wenn man etwas halbherzig macht – dann schafft man`s nie. F\u00fcr das selbst\u00e4ndige Arbeiten muss man geboren sein, das liegt nicht jedem.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Du hast deine Karriere ja noch mit Film begonnen. Wie hast du den Wechsel zur Digitalfotografie erlebt?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Digitalkameras haben meine Arbeit zum Positiven ver\u00e4ndert. Erst wollten wir den Wechsel nicht mitmachen, aber schon nach einem halben Jahr haben wir unsere erste digitale Kamera f\u00fcr 16 000 Euro gekauft. Da machst du heute mit dem Handy bessere Bilder, als damit. Bei den Delegationsreisen mit Helmut Kohl und Erwin Teufel wollte die dpa jeden Tag Fotos. Ich musste oft Filme mit Eskorte-Fahrzeugen transportieren \u2013 und habe in der Zeit dann vor Ort gefehlt. Digital geht alles viel schneller und unkomplizierter. \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Das ist ein ganz sch\u00f6n gro\u00dfer Vertrauensbeweis, wenn dich Leute wie der ehemalige Bundeskanzler zu Reisen mitnehmen...<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u00dcber mich wurde geschrieben: \u201eDiskretion ist seine Lebensversicherung\u201c. Wenn du mit bekannten Menschen unterwegs bist, h\u00f6rst und siehst du viel Vertrauliches. Bis zum heutigen Tag gilt mein Ehrenwort. Egal welche vertraulichen Sachen ich h\u00f6re oder sehe, ich w\u00fcrde damit nie an die \u00d6ffentlichkeit gehen. Das k\u00f6nnen die Wenigsten \u2013 es gibt ja Leute, die f\u00fcr 50 Euro Geheimnisse verraten oder Bilder verkaufen, die nicht f\u00fcr die \u00d6ffentlichkeit bestimmt sind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Und jetzt gibt`s einen neuen Meilenstein in deiner Karriere: du hast dein eigenes Magazin \u201eSage\u201c herausgebracht!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Du musst dir immer neue Sachen einfallen lassen. Dich immer fragen: wo liegen meine St\u00e4rken? Und die ausarbeiten. Neue Ideen haben. Wo kann ich meine Art von Arbeit an den Mann bringen? Bei uns Presse-Fotografen sind wegen Corona seit einem Jahr alle Events abgesagt, alles nur noch online, nichts mehr zu fotografieren. Daher habe ich mir gedacht: wenn ich nicht fotografieren kann, lasse ich fotografieren und gebe mein eigenes Magazin \u201eSage\u201c heraus. Die ganze Zeit herumliegen und B\u00fcro aufr\u00e4umen, das ist nichts f\u00fcr mich. Das Magazin ist ein Erfolg \u2013 fast alle Exemplare sind verkauft und ich muss bereits nachdrucken.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
