Emmys Angst
On Friday Sept 30th my brother Hermann and his wife Sabine read some passages from their new thriller “Emmys Angst”.
E-Shooting with Stefanie & Lars
It feels so good to do what you like. Last sunday Stefanie & Lars came to shoot their e-session. Their wedding will be in September. I have never worked with a more relaxed and happy couple. They brought the nicest weather with them and were so sweet together.
Pre-birthday surprise
This is not yet my birthday (it is on Tuesday 14th), but I’ve just received a voucher from a German fashion company. The reason why I m blogging this is that they used one of MY stock photos here. This is the most individual birthday gift I have ever received from a big company :-))))

Baby steps with stock footage
Hi, long time no news. I am currently trying my hands on stock footage clips with my 5D Mark II.
AGWPJA - I am in
“I’d never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member.”
Woody Allen quoting Groucho Marx
I always loved this quote, but well… no rule without an excemption, right? I am so proud to announce that I am an official member of the “Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association [AG]WPJA“.
“The Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association [AG]WPJA is a group of international wedding photojournalists, who capture unscripted wedding moments as they happen, and excel in the art of post-production image processing. The [AG]WPJA is a division within the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA); one which specifically promotes Fine Art Wedding Photojournalism.”
I am very excited about this honour. Wedding photojournalism is so very different from stock. Do not get me wrong; I love being a stock shooter, but weddings are so different. People trust you to capture the emotions and details on this very special day. They share emotional and private moments with you. And I have no words to describe the feeling when the couple comes to my house to see the album I have designed for them.
I hope I will shoot more weddings in the future. Wedding website: http://www.deine-hochzeitsreportage.com (only in German)
