Butterflies


I rarely get time to use my macro lens. But today I randomly passed a butterfly farm and tried my luck with the Blue Morpho.

The Baltic Sea


A short trip to the Island of Usedom in the Baltic Sea last for some great shots at the beach during the blue hour.

Diving in a stone pit lake


It’s my first time under water in a stone pit lake: no fish there but a fascinating atmosphere of dead trees and deep cliffs.

Diving in Brandenburg


It’s finally summer! 27°C in Berlin, water has 11-17°C and the diving base in Strausberg has daily opened. A reason more to take a day off and look for pikes.

BIGSAS


VIP shooting for the University of Bayreuth. The presidents of the six African partner universities meet the president of the University of Bayreuth.

Dreetzsee


It’s time to open the diving saison. It happens in the Dreetzsee in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern because here’s the best visibility. I just crashed the focus module of my fisheye lens – too many pikes or what?

BER Airport


For months I want to take photos of the new airport Berlin-Brandenburg. Now I finally managed to be there at the blue hour.

Berbera, Somaliland


Currently I’m working on two reportage stories from Somaliland. Here is a preview from coast town Berbera.

Addis Ababa


Addis Ababa is awesome! Construction sites everywhere. They really build a light rail system through town. Many houses were removed to create space for the fly-overs and new buildings. Here some impressions from the capital of Ethiopia.

TU Campus El Gouna


I’m in El Gouna, Egypt, covering the visit of Sandra Scheeres, Senator for Education, Youth and Science with the president of the TU Berlin Prof. Dr. Prof. h.c. Jörg Steinbach at the campus of the TU Berlin in El Gouna.

Outtake


Shooting portraits of Daniel and his Great Dane Holly. Holly had fun – here is an outtake.

Berlin


I’ve planned that for a long time: The Oberbaum-Bridge during the blue hour.

Fuckparade


It’s Fuckparade in Berlin. The anti-event to the mainstream-technoid Loveparade demonstrates against the commercialism of culture.

Second hand market in Kampala


I’m on assignment for a German newspaper on one of Africa’s largest markets. Shakira Nalumansi, 22 years, sells bedsheets here. Formerly called Owino Market, St. Balikuddembe Market is one of the largest markets in Eastern Africa. More than 7,000 booths that line the chaotic alleys of Owino offer everything what people need for life. The largest section is the second hand fashion trade. With 15 percent most of them come from the USA, around 8,500 tons every year.

Slum


On assignment for the Bloomberg magazine in Kasanvu – Kanyogoga slum in Kampala.
