Mook Magazine from Beijing

2009-06-19T13:13:00.003+02:00

Lately I have been getting several requests for editorials for Chinese magazines. I'm not sure where they discovered my work but I always look forward to receiving an issue with my photos edited through their eyes accompanied with beautiful signs I can't read.

This story was recently published in Mook magazine from Beijing, whose selection and layout I particularly enjoyed.

In the wake of Nirvanas cover of Bowies song, Bowie bemoaned the fact that when he performed the number himself he would encounter "kids that come up afterwards and say, 'It's cool you're doing a Nirvana song.' And I think, 'Fuck you, you little tosser!
(from Wikipedia)

It's actually hard to find a good version of Bowie doing the song himself on Youtube but I DO like this performance:

We recently produced a fashion editorial for french magazine Liberation Next. Here is a selection from the story we shot.

On the Dry Lakebed

We were spending one day in summer on a California Dry Lake with actor Steven Grayham and his brother Rick and band member/friend Robo. Nothing beats a drive there and ending the day with a campfire!

I think I have a pretty good understanding now of all the possible shades of grey you can encounter at the end of a Berlin winter - so I'm gonna do a little 'Missing Summer" series here for this week.

Winter in Berlin

2009-02-22T15:00:00.002+01:00

Winter keeps its firm grip on Berlin. I have enough already and wonder why I'm not in Brazil or somewhere...

Election III - photolink

2008-11-05T15:36:00.004+01:00

Just one link before going back to work after a long night.

A page which shows good photography about the election&politics is Bagnewsnotes. Its worth clicking back a view pages on the site.

Election II - prediction

2008-11-04T14:24:00.003+01:00

Prediction!

Not for percentages, seats and everything - I leave that to the pros (Link)

But that somewhere somtime today or tomorrow a photo of the decade will be shot. there will be a huge Love Parade like street event in Chicago and I guess Magnum and everybody will have photographers there (and I would love shot there myself)

But I wonder if THE picture will be shot by a professional photographer or if it will again come from a videostill, cellphone or small digital camera.

Waiting for the Obama Effect

the now famous Obama Giant poster which I saw a lot in Los Angeles and California was designed by skater artist Shepard Fairey. The amazing thing is that he got the official ok from Obama's campaign.

Here's more on it in a Washington Post article:

This was around the corner where I've been living in LA this summer in Echo Park.

Debra Tate for Park Avenue

2008-08-15T23:19:00.008+02:00

I took a portrait of Debra Tate at her ranch for the August issue of German magazine Park Avenue. Debra Tate is the sister of Sharon Tate who was murdered by the Manson family in 1969. From the drive to her ranch to the actual shooting it was a real interesting assignment - amazing to hear Debra's views and experiences on an event everybody has heard of.
