What has been your most memorable session and why?
Certainly I remember some extraordinary sessions but I can’t talk about them. ;)
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
You know I’m not that techie or brand fixed kind of photographer. I would say I could do my pictures with
nearly any type of camera. But I’m doing my shootings with a Canon 5D MK III mostly. Besides that I switch
between different cameras depending on the situation I’m shooting in and what look I want to create: Fuji
X100s, Olympus Pen F, Olympus Mju II, Instax and Polaroid.
My absolute favorite lens is my Canon 85mm 1.2 prime. Every time I put that masterpiece on it’s like you put
your glasses on when you were half blind before. It’s massive because it’s made nearly completely out of glass
and it’s so precise and brillant in its look – just amazing.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?
Stay away from social media! Really, just resist! Social media – especially Facebook – is such a creativity killer
especially if you just start photography and don’t have found your own way yet. I know it’s easy to search for
inspiration and everyone is yearning for likes and followers. But it can also be very frustrating seeing all that
pictures of great artists. And before you know it you find yourself scrolling through the work of others for
hours and it makes you very sad and exhausted. Well, guess what you could have been creating by yourself
during all these hours! It’s fine to get your inspiration partly from the web but also go to art exhibitions, scroll
through coffee-table books or magazines. And choose wisely. Avoid the compliant mass of Facebook but seek
for the crazy ones on Ello, Behance and Tumblr!
