”Spiritual Conversation”
A few words about workshops and speeches.
Attending many workshops in the past years, I got to know a lot of people, some of them I even call friends now, filled up my head with a whole ton of inspiration and simply experienced unforgettable adventures. And all in all, the path I’ve been walking as a photographer as well as a human being, was definitely shaped by these workshops in some way. For this reason I feel extremely honored being a speaker myself at photography events, workshops and gatherings - especially as a Sony Europe Imaging Ambassador - as well as being able to host full day workshops for fellow wedding photographers. Thereby I always give my best to really share all the knowledge I have about everything I’ve learned along the way without holding anything back.
And you can’t imagine how excited I am to get to know all of you and give you a little bit of inspiration and motivation for your own business. If you want, you can find upcoming speaking and workshop dates a bit further down this page; it would be awesome to meet you soon at one of the events! Otherwise, if you’d like to have a more intimate chat and want to talk about something specific regarding your own situation, I also offer one to one mentoring sessions where we can talk about everything relevant for you, whether it’s storytelling, blogging, website, pricing and marketing in general, editing, posing or having a portfolio review. Just shoot me a message, tell me where you struggle and together we can move a step further.
I truly believe that we’re all in this together
and we’re better off helping each other.
Some words about the most important tools in my bag.
2x Sony Alpha 9
My two workhorses. Small, black, unobtrusive and silent. Completely silent like an iPhone. This allows me to even capture crying men pretty close without disturbing.
Truly a game changer in my photography.
Sony FE 24mm F1.4 GM
Tiny, lightweight, fast and unbelievably sharp while
having a smooth bokeh. Could you ask for anything more in a lens? Probably not. That’s why I absolutely love it.
Distagon T* FE 35 mm F1,4 ZA
If I could only carry one lens, it would be the 35. By far
my favorite focal length because it forces me to always go
a step closer while maintaining a pleasing aesthetic.
Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA
If I could carry another lens besides the 35, this would
be it. And maybe it’s the best lens I’ve ever owned. Paired with the 35 I could easily shoot weddings forever.
Sony FE 85 mm F1,4 GM
Even though it’s an amazing lens with a monster bokeh, I use it rather infrequently. However, for bigger ceremonies and speeches I definitely wouldn’t want to go without it.
2x Sony F43M Speedlites
To me, speedlites simply through light onto subjects and I hardly ever used them besides the party. And these rather small ones do exactly that and work even in heavy bursts.
