Eigentlich wollte mir Amber nur ihr neues Tattoo zeigen. Sie lebt in Caifornien, ich in Frankfurt. Wir nutzen Videochat. In diesen Zeiten kommt man an Corona als Gesprächsthema nicht vorbei. Spontan holte Amber ihre Gesichtsmaske. So hatte ich sie noch nicht gesehen und es wurde mein erstes Fern-Foto, spontan mit dem iPhone.
Über Amber hatte ich übrigens schon mal in meinem Blog geschrieben: https://thomasberlin.net/blog/2018/9/14/elevator-pitch
The human representation is my photographic focus. This can affect people in everyday situations as well as portraits. I don't differentiate my portraits based on whether my models are clothed or not. The portrayal of nudity has delighted humanity for millennia and is also a source of joy for me.
I work both analog and digital, depending on my task and mood. The technique is not a dogma. In general I give priority to the physical presence of a signed print over a digital image.
Even if a picture itself does not tell a story, it can be the starting point of a story in the recipients head. I hope you find in my galleries at least one picture that can be the starting point of your own story.
In addition to my own photography, I talk a lot with other people in the photography scene. I publish particularly interesting conversations with photographers, models and others on my blog thomasberlin.net/blog
