Eine kleine Auswahl meines kürzlich stattgefundenem Ballett Shooting in München.

München hat sich verändert. Was ich damit meine, ist nicht die Kulisse, sondern die Tatsache, dass man mittlerweile dauernd offensichtlich bestohlen wird. Zweimal ist es mir an diesem Tag passiert, und jedes Mal hab ich es zum Glück noch rechtzeitig gemerkt.

Das hat mir aber den Spaß am Shooting nicht verdorben. Aber wie es so ist, sehe ich die Stadt als Fotograf nun etwas anders. Was ich schade finde, da mir München immer die liebste Stadt zum Fotografieren war.

In Zukunft heißt es also noch mehr auf Sicherheit achten, damit der Spaß an den Shootings nicht verdorben wird.

Carrying - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf André Leischner / 14.05.2025 16:15

The "Carrying" series I created from August 2024 to April 2025, spanning the entire period of pregnancy, and brings together photographic positions on pregnant physicality – raw, calm, and radically visible. In each shot, pregnancy reveals itself not as an idealized cliché, but as a real, physically experienced, intimate, and socially shaped transformation.

The body in these images carries – visibly and invisibly – weight, expectation, responsibility, history, and the future. It carries not only new life, but also signs of power, vulnerability, control, and self-empowerment. The conscious decision for analog black-and-white photography creates a timeless space in which the supposedly private becomes public. The poses range from upright confrontation to quiet inwardness – always with a focus on dignity and self-determination.

The series does not invite us to contemplate "motherhood," but rather to engage with the pregnant body as a political, aesthetic, and emotional site.

Best Road Trips Never Taken - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Clint / 13.05.2025 02:22

I gave up on a trip yesterday. Mainly because we had failed before and was looking down the barrel of consecutive cold fronts that would dump a mix of rain and snow as the area moved above and below freezing. Two years ago we had a wild rumpus of rain and woke to a quietude of white. The roads are rough at the best of times and wet snow over mud does not improve them. I called my traveling companion, pulled the plug and we went searching for waterfalls closer to home instead.

Even further away than where I'm not now is another photographic wonder recently discovered by the Instagram crowd. I've never been but do know the area. Like many of my favorite destinations the crush of people has grown. We used to arrive in the desert and run naked through it. Now we gauge how many other camps dot the shorelines of the ancient playas or how many cars are at the trailhead. Everything is marked, mapped and massively overgrazed. And while I feel pretty good about myself nearing 60, I am not fool enough to jump headlong over physical challenges that I once have might. I think about this on cliffs and wetly mossy rocks.

So today I'm home. Catching up on domestic chores and plotting the future. These are the trips I dream of and eagerly eye the first available set of days on my calendar.

Zweites Shooting – Kriz

Zweites Shooting - Kriz - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Swen Muenstermann / 09.05.2025 14:16

Mein zweites Modelshooting fand in meiner damals noch sehr puristisch eingerichteten

Wohnung statt. Zu Gast war Kriz – eine kreative, sportliche und lebhafte junge Frau. Sie

brachte gute Laune, Motivation und eigene Ideen mit, was die Zusammenarbeit angenehm

gemacht hat.

Das Shooting verlief locker und hat Spaß gemacht. Es sind einige interessante Bilder

entstanden, die sich deutlich von meinem heutigen Stil unterscheiden. In der Serie sehe ich eine gewisse Eigenständigkeit und ich könnte mir vorstellen, wieder mit Kriz zusammen zu arbeiten.
