Hamburg's Streets Unstaged - A Photo Project

At the end of 2016, I've decided to start a street photography project in Hamburg for 2017.

The goal of the project was to document the beauty of the unstaged daily life on Hamburg's streets throughout the year from an artistic and classic street photography point of view. During the project, I've captured more than a thousand photos and walked hundreds of miles on Hamburg's streets.

On December 31th, 2017 I've created a short video with a selection of 4 images from each month of the project that you can watch below.

I'm currently in the process to decide how this project will be shared from here on: Maybe a book, an exhibition, or a fine art print series..?

Hay Barns (Heuschober) Garmisch-Partenkirchen - Limited Fine Art Print Series

The subject of haystacks as art came to my attention through the work of Claude Monet.

During one of my visits to the Alps the abundant presence of old hay barns (Heuschober) in the Bavarian town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen inspired me to interprete Monet’s haystack paintings in a new way by producing a black and white fine art photo series of these historic structures.

Some of these hay barns are over 100 years old and each of them is unique. The weathered wood, skew-whiff structure, and the sporadic presence of trees growing beside them make them one of a kind structures that are as unique as a fingerprint.

These hay barns also document how agriculture was run by small scale family farms in this region and that industrial farming still has no space here today.

The nine images were captured during snow storm conditions as these portraits properly express the harsh environment that had to be conquered when living and farming in this region.

The images are offered as a limited original artist print & signed edition - each image is printed on fine art paper framed in museum quality wooden frames with Optiwhite matt/glossy glass.
