Smoking in Georgia

Photographer Franz von O.

Smoking in Georgia - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Franz von O. / 18.08.2021 19:43

First of all: People / Portrait is – unfortunately – not "my" genre. I don’t know why but I am of the opinion that you have to be born as a portrait photographer…or even not. But it doesn’t stop me from trying…

So here is the litte story:

I was in Georgia (not US-State, haha) and I went into a building that was a hotel several decades before. Now there are appartments in it and a large a art studio in which this man lives. I met him because a friend in Georgia knows him well. Sadly I can’t remember his name but he is an artist (painting) from Georgia. If someone knows, please tell me!

So we walked into his studio without ringing the bell or an invitation. It’s quiet normal in Georgia… He sat in a chair next to a small table drinking some tea. He was happy to see his friend and me. I didn’t understand any word while he was talking gently to our mutual friend making some jokes (as far as I "understood"). But suddenly he turned to me and said intensely: "Take a picture while I’m smoking". I was a bit confused but he took a cigarette and started to smoke right away. Then he walked to a magnifying glass in a dark corner of the studio which he uses for his paintings. He just stared at me through that glass. He didn’t say any word and stared and stared and stared.

So I went a few step to him – not saying any word – and took only 10 pictures as he suddenly turned back to our friend who was waiting at the table and started to grin. It was a litte bit weired but also "magic".

Here are the best shots to me…

Hope you enjoy!

Following up on my last post, heres another preview of my upcoming project called "Sól".

I met up with Maria early in the morning to shoot a series in this beautiful location near Munich.

Architecture has always been a big influence on my and my work and combining nature and artificial stuff was really inspiring me.

Shot on Location in Munich, Germany.

the rules

Photographer Andreas Puhl

the rules - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Andreas Puhl / 14.08.2021 14:53

There are old rules that are irrevocable for all photographers.

The first is: if there is a wall with scraps of wallpaper in a location or a studio, you have to photograph the model in front of this wall.

The second rule says: if there is an empty frame on a wall in the studio, it is important to take photos with the model close to the frame.

And the third and most important rule of all: if there are antlers in a studio or location, the antlers must be integrated into the pictures!

In this location we had the wall, the frame and also the antlers, I was a conscientious photographer and followed all the rules.
