Had a shooting with Ulli last weekend. We intended to start shooting portraits and see where it might take us, as she was interested in having some shots of her Tattoo as well. This is one of my favorites from the portrait session. The Tattoo part also came up with an amazing shot. I’m glad [...]
If you happen to visit South Africa during the Soccer World Cup, you might run into troubles getting to Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope. During our stay the amount of tourists where not too disturbing. Being one of them, I should not blame them being there But I guess, it might get hard [...]
As of my problems with Aperture 3, I am limited in further publication of images done during the shooting with Danja. Nevertheless, Apple was kind enough to confirm, that they are working on it. Hopefully, a solution will be available soon, so that I will be able to continue editing. Exporting these shots took me [...]
One of the most wonderful things of South Africa is the amazing multiplicity of wildlife coexisting in many wildlife reserves. For us as European visitors, we only know those animals from the zoo or the circus.
Like South Africa, this posting will have a bit of everything in it. For the shot above we went for the valley of desolation, where one gets an amazing view over Graaff Reinet laying afoot. Being up there we ran into the problem of not knowing the current time, but knowing the gates of the [...]
Of course, a country is nothing without its people. And we would not be traveling a country, without getting to know them.
I finally managed to go through the first set of shots and pick out some of the better ones.
I’ve had this idea for quite some time, shooting with several lamp shades, the ones made from chinese paper one can buy at Ikea. I already purchased a bunch of them when Jaz asked me over to Lausanne for a spontaneous shooting.
Shooting at minus 15° Celsius
I recently received a note on ModelMayhem by Jaz asking for a shooting in Lausanne. After some notes and some mails going back and forth we decided to do a spontaneous shooting last weekend. Not knowing it would be one of the coldest weekends.
It is not easy, to keep the eyes open, while knowing, one will have a water balloon splashing in ones face just about the next second. Having done this myself, I know how hard it will be for a model.
A dream is a dream but as soon as you try to touch it it will be gone…
Today we went for the “Wildpark Zürich”. It is a nice park, having some animals and one can spend the day walking in the woods.
In many online communities, one can read allot of ranting against the performance of Aperture 3. I have been quite satisfied with it until now. But since Apple released the update for the RAW conversion, my system performance sucks… actually, there is no performance, as it rejects to output any file. Fact is, as soon [...]
I am relatively new to the German website ModelKartei and after seeing one of my shots with Jaz – the ones taken by 15° sub zero – Danja contacted me for a shooting. Since I had chocolate and sweets in my mind for a shooting for quite a while, I proposed this to her.
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Just some tree, some place in South Africa…
As promised, I will focus on landscape shots for the next few postings – unless I manage to do a new shooting, since I have got some new ideas in my mind, but need to find the suiting model for that. I guess, most of the people visiting South Africa during the next time will [...]
I am totally aware of the fact, that I did not really post any real landscape shot. Not yet. For this posting, the animals will take the dominant part again, but I will go back into my Aperture library and have a look for more landscape images. I do know, there are plenty good ones [...]

Sad but true, almost four weeks after leaving my home in a hurry, we are back from our trip through South Africa. It took us one more day than planned, since South African Airways fucked up and where not able to hand us the boarding ticket in Cape Town for the second flight from Johannesburg [...]
After more than 3.500 km on the road, paved and unpaved, we finally arrived in Cape Town. Not a very pleasant thought, to go back to Switzerland, -5° Celsius and Snow, but my mind is almost as full as my laptop, both having stored numerous of amazing shots I did during our travel. All of [...]
