  70.  <p class=""><br></p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Stefan, du bist kommerzieller Fotograf und u.a. tätig in Werbung und Editorial. Ich würde mit dir heute aber gern über deine oft freien Projekte in der Aktfotografie sprechen. Wie beschreibst du deine Bilder jemandem, der sie nicht gesehen hat?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Meine Bilder würde ich als natürlich und stilvoll bezeichnen. Ich versuche nicht, den Akt in den Vordergrund zu rücken, sondern das Bild als solches. Dabei versuche ich auch immer, die Modelle in ihre Umgebung einzubinden.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Deine Bilder zeigen Frauen als Protagonistinnen, die wohl die meisten Menschen schön, sexy und stark finden. Ist Schönheit dabei das bestimmende Prinzip oder was sind deine generellen Absichten in der Aktfotografie?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Schönheit ist sehr subjektiv und "sexy" ist nicht ein Wort, das bei mir Priorität hat, auch nicht etwas, das Vorrang in meinen Fotos hat. Was ich eher suche, ist Stärke und Freiheit. Natürlich habe ich eine bestimmte Vorstellung von Frauen, wie alle, was übrigens auch bei Männern zutrifft, und mein Casting richtet sich sicher auch danach aus. Was ich vor allem zeigen möchte, sind unabhängige und ausdrucksvolle Menschen, ob nackt oder nicht, die sich in einem ausgewählten und interessanten Umfeld bewegen.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Was ist ein gutes Bild bzw. wann bist du mit deiner Arbeit zufrieden?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Ein Bild gut zu finden ist sicher ein individueller Aspekt. Wir sind mit unterschiedlichen Hintergründen aufgewachsen, in verschiedenen Kulturen. Was für den einen gut ist, muss nicht unbedingt für andere stimmen. Ich glaube, das Wichtigste bei einem Bild ist, dass es einen berührt, egal in welcher Weise.  </p><p class="">Ich bin mit meiner Arbeit zufrieden, wenn etwas passiert im Bild, wenn eine Emotion davon ausgeht. Aber es ist natürlich auch eine gewisse Befriedigung da, wenn man bei Auftragsarbeiten ein gutes Resultat bringt und der Kunde mit den Bildern zufrieden ist.  </p>

  193.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie entsteht die Idee für ein Shooting oder ein Bild? Wann arbeitest du planvoll und wann intuitiv?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo: </strong>Das ist ganz unterschiedlich und es kommt darauf an, woran ich gerade arbeite. Gerade bei der Aktfotografie ist meine Herangehensweise sehr intuitiv während des Shootings, ich bereite mich aber schon vor, was das Casting und die Location anbelangt. Locations sind sehr wichtig für mich und sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil in meinen Bildern.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Wie viel Vorbereitung bzw. Konzeption ist im Vorfeld eines Shootings erforderlich?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo: </strong>Ich mache auch Shootings ohne Vorbereitung, sagen wir mal, die Bilder entstehen dann durch eine bestimmte Vision, die man in sich hat, und auch viel durch Erfahrung. Wenn man schon länger fotografiert, ist das sicher ein wichtiger Aspekt.  </p><p class="">Dann gibt es Projekte mit sehr viel Vorbereitung, wie "Mutterliebe" oder "Room 42". Da stecken meist mehrere Wochen von Arbeit dahinter, weil man etwas Bestimmtes will.  </p><p class="">Grundsätzlich ist es schon so, dass man sich so gut wie möglich vorbereiten sollte, das ist auch etwas, das ich immer in meinen Workshops "predige". Man hat dann einfach auch den Kopf freier während des Shootings, und die Resultate sind weniger auf dem Zufallsprinzip aufgebaut. Ich bin auch der Meinung, dass Vorbereitung ganz wichtig ist, wenn man sich weiterentwickeln will, sonst droht die Gefahr, dass man immer das Gleiche macht.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie kann ich mir ein Shooting bei dir konkret vorstellen, d. h. wie wählst du den Ort aus, wie lange dauert ein Shooting, wer ist dabei?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo: </strong>Auch das hängt wieder von der Art der Bilder ab. Ist es eine Auftragsarbeit, muss man sich an ein Konzept halten, und die Teams sind zum Teil relativ groß. Es können dann schon einmal bis zu 20 Personen auf dem Set sein. Bei Auftragsarbeiten wird ein ganzer Tag oder mehr fotografiert.  </p><p class="">Jetzt zum Beispiel für die Bilder für mein neues Buch, da war ich nur mit der Tezz unterwegs, was natürlich auch viel mehr Freiheit beim Arbeiten mit sich bringt. Wir haben dann ca. 2 Stunden pro Location fotografiert.  </p>

  316.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Besonders interessiert mich, wie die Interaktion mit dem Model ist.  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Ich lasse den Modellen ziemlich viel Freiheit, und gerade was das Posing anbelangt, bin ich sehr offen. Was ich aber sicher versuche, ist, dass die Modelle als Menschen posen und nicht als Modelle. Gerade das ist für viele ungewöhnlich, und je nach Model dauert es dann schon eine gewisse Zeit, bis man daherkommt, weil sie es einfach anders gewohnt sind von vielen anderen Fotografen.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Mit dem Model für dein demnächst erscheinendes drittes Buch bist du gut bekannt, und ihr habt ein intensives Vertrauensverhältnis. Ist es wichtig, dass man sich gut kennt, oder suchst du manchmal auch das Überraschende in der Zusammenarbeit mit den Menschen vor deiner Kamera?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Das ist eine gute Frage. Ich habe überhaupt kein Problem damit, wenn ich jemanden zum ersten Mal fotografiere, und ich brauche in dem Sinne keine Anlaufzeit. Ich finde es auch spannend, mit neuen Leuten zu arbeiten.  </p><p class="">Wenn man dann allerdings Menschen mehrmals fotografiert, entsteht schon eine gewisse Verbindung, und Modelle, die evtl. Mühe haben, sich nicht direkt beim ersten Shooting zu öffnen, gehen dann auch weiter, was zum Beispiel das Zeigen von Emotionen anbelangt, oder sind auch weniger gehemmt, was das Posing anbelangt.  </p><p class="">Mit der Tezz hatte ich von Anfang an eine super Verbindung, die sich dann aber schon noch verstärkt hat während des Projekts. Wir haben die gleiche Vision, was die Fotografie wie auch das Leben anbelangt, was sehr wichtig ist, wenn man 10 Tage zusammen durch Südafrika reist.  </p>

  439.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie suchst du deine Models aus, und was sollte ein Model mitbringen, das mit dir arbeitet?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Bei Auftragsarbeiten läuft es meistens über Agenturen. Oder ich buche Modelle direkt, die ich schon kenne. Bei Nude ist es schwierig, Modelle über Agenturen zu bekommen. Allerdings mache ich das schon sehr lange und habe da viele Kontakte. Aber ich würde sagen, dass ich neue Modelle hauptsächlich über die sozialen Medien finde, indem ich sie anschreibe oder die Modelle mich anschreiben.  </p><p class="">Ich mag Modelle, die aus sich herausgehen, und die als Ziel haben, ein gutes Bild zu machen und dabei ihre Grenzen zu pushen, was ich selbst auch bei jedem Shooting versuche. Auch Modelle mit starkem Charakter mag ich sehr.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Viele deiner Bilder sind in einer mediterranen oder sonnigen Umgebung. Wie gehst du im Freien mit Licht um?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Es ist tatsächlich so, dass ich für meine persönlichen Arbeiten und vor allem auch für Akt gerne draußen arbeite. Ich mag es, wenn sich die Modelle frei bewegen können, und man Faktoren hat, die nicht immer berechenbar sind. Ich lasse mich gerne auf die vorhandenen Situationen ein und versuche, ein Maximum daraus zu machen.  </p><p class="">Beim Licht schaue ich darauf, dass die Sonne, wenn möglich, nicht zu hoch steht. Ich benutze quasi nie künstliches Licht draußen, und auch Reflektoren trifft man bei mir selten an. Dann eher schon schwarze Tücher oder Flags, um die Schatten zu verstärken und ungewolltes Licht zu blocken.  </p>

  562.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie kann ich mir ein häufiges Lichtsetup von dir im Studio vorstellen?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Im Studio kommt es darauf an, um welche Art von Bildern es sich handelt. Ich mag auch gerne Daylight-Studios und benutze da auch wieder Schwarz, um die Schatten zu verstärken.  </p><p class="">Für einfache Portraits arbeite ich meistens mit 1–3 Lampen, auch immer mehr mit Dauerlicht von Rotolight, denn oft muss man auch Videos machen.  </p><p class="">Bei größeren Beauty-Produktionen verwende ich meistens Blitze, da können dann schon mal bis zu 10 Blitzköpfe zum Einsatz kommen. Aber ich habe in dem Sinne kein Schema, das sich immer wiederholt, ich passe mich der Situation an.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Kommen wir kurz zur technischen Seite: Auch wenn die Kamera meist nicht entscheidend ist, welche Kamera und welche Objektive verwendest du hauptsächlich?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo: </strong>Die Kamera ist in dem Sinne entscheidend, dass man sich damit wohl fühlen sollte. Seit ich mein Set-Up gefunden habe, mache ich mir nicht mehr so viele Gedanken über meine Kamera. Ich arbeite fast ausschließlich mit meiner Nikon Z9 und dem 24-70mm f/2.8 Objektiv.  </p><p class="">Allerdings muss man auch gerade bei Werbung oft extrem hochauflösende Bilder liefern, so kommt es vor, dass ich da auch manchmal mit einer digitalen Mittelformatkamera arbeite.  </p>

  685.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie sieht dein Workflow nach dem Shooting aus?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo: </strong>Nach dem Shooting wird erst einmal alles sauber auf den Computer geladen. Ich organisiere die Files nach den verschiedenen Situationen, nummeriere sie und mache dann 2 Backups. Im nächsten Schritt arbeite ich generell an den Farben und an den Kontrasten der Bilder. Ich fange nicht mit der Auswahl der Bilder an, bevor ich nicht einen zufriedenstellenden Look gefunden habe. Ich finde es schwer, Bilder auszuwählen, wenn der Look nicht stimmt, da man dann zum Beispiel zu helle Bilder nicht mag, wenn man aber etwas daran arbeitet, sehen sie gut aus.  </p><p class="">Dennoch ist die Bildauswahl aufwändig, vor allem auch, weil ich während eines Shootings sehr viele Bilder mache, da ich auch versuche, die Bilder „zwischen“ den Bildern festzuhalten. Ich schaffe es dann schon mal in 2 Stunden 4.000 Bilder zu schießen.  </p><p class="">Ich gehe zunächst alle Bilder durch und wähle die aus, die mich berühren, wo ich finde, es passiert etwas. Das ist relativ leicht, weil man da nicht zu viel überlegen muss. Nach dem ersten Durchgang ist die Auswahl noch relativ groß. Ich mache dann einen zweiten Durchgang, um die Auswahl zu verfeinern, und auch sich ähnlich sehende Bilder zu eliminieren, indem ich das für mich bessere nehme.&nbsp; Insgesamt reduziere ich die Anzahl im dritten Durchgang auf ca. 20 - 30 Bilder. Dann entwickle ich die Bilder als PSD und fange mit der Retusche an. Bilder, die dann „schlecht reagieren“, werden aussortiert.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Du hast bereits zwei Bücher veröffentlicht und ein drittes soll demnächst erscheinen. Warum machst du Fotobücher?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Stimmt, mein erstes Buch war ein Porträtbuch, in dem ich Leute, die in der Fotografieindustrie arbeiten, mit einer Großformatkamera fotografiert habe. Das Buch heißt „Visages de la photo“ und ist im Jahr 2008 erschienen. Um genauer zu sein, habe ich damals direkt auf Schwarz-Weiß-Papier fotografiert, was eine sehr alte Technik ist und sehr aufwendig war, aber vom Resultat her sehr spannend.  </p><p class="">Mein zweites Buch war über Aktfotografie und ist 2019 bei teNeues erschienen und heißt „Nude“. Darin habe ich Arbeiten gezeigt, die ich während sieben Jahren mit verschiedenen Modellen unabhängig voneinander fotografiert habe. Sehr viele dieser Bilder sind auf meinen Reisen als Assistent mit Peter Lindbergh entstanden, oft in den USA.  </p><p class="">Das dritte Buch handelt wieder über Aktfotografie, wobei aber nur ein Modell im Buch zu sehen ist, die Tezz. Nach meinem ersten Shooting mit ihr in Ibiza wurde mir sofort klar, dass das Potenzial sehr groß ist, und wir haben uns dann nach dem zweiten Shooting auf Teneriffa entschieden, daraus ein Buchprojekt zu machen. Der Großteil der Bilder fürs Buch ist dann in Südafrika entstanden, wo wir extra hingeflogen sind, um am Buch zu arbeiten. Das Finale Shooting war dann in der Normandie in Frankreich.  </p><p class="">Die Bilder in diesem Buch sind sicher mehr zusammenhängend als im Buch „Nude“, weil ich nur mit einem Modell gearbeitet habe und das Projekt in einem relativ kurzen Zeitraum entstanden ist.  </p>

  808.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Was macht ein gutes Fotobuch aus?  </p><p class="">Für mich sind Fotobücher der beste Weg für einen Fotografen, sich auszudrücken, zu zeigen, was man wirklich mag. Ich finde auch gerade im heutigen digitalen Zeitalter haben Fotobücher immer noch etwas Magisches.  </p><p class="">Nicht alle Leute „suchen“ das Gleiche in einem Fotobuch. Für mich persönlich ist sicher schon sehr wichtig, dass mir die Bilder schon mal gefallen, die aber dann auch so zusammengestellt sind, dass es spannend ist, durchs Buch zu blättern und man dann am Ende fast traurig ist, dass man schon durch ist.  </p><p class="">Aber auch das Objekt an sich ist für mich sehr wichtig, Material, Papier, Größe, Geruch….  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Gibt es ein Fotobuch, das dich besonders beeindruckt hatte?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Ich habe sehr viele Bücher zuhause, von denen ich die meisten gut finde. Aber das Buch, das mich am meisten beeindruckt hat, ist ein Buch von Michael Kenna. Die Bilder sind unglaublich, und die Qualität des Buches ist mehr als beeindruckend. Man könnte jede Seite an die Wand hängen, und es würde einem Fine-Art-Print in nichts nachstehen.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Was kannst du schon über dein drittes Buch verraten?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Einiges davon habe ich ja schon angesprochen, aber als Zusammenfassung würde ich sagen, dass es die Tezz als freien Menschen in ihrer natürlichen und rauen Schönheit in zum Teil atemberaubenden Landschaften zeigt. Das Werk ist sehr intim und wird mit Texten von Tezz begleitet, die sie extra für dieses Projekt geschrieben hat.  </p>

  931.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Für viele Fotografen ist eine Herausforderung bei Fotobüchern die Auswahl vergleichsweise weniger Bilder aus einem Ozean bislang erstellter Fotos. Wie läuft der Auswahlprozess bei dir und welche Bilder schaffen es letztlich ins Buch?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong>&nbsp; Es ist sehr schwer, gerade für ein Buch, die Endauswahl zu treffen. Es geht ja nicht nur darum, einfach die besten Bilder zu nehmen, sondern Bilder, die zusammenpassen, die dann auch eine Geschichte erzählen.  </p><p class="">Für die endgültige Auswahl fürs Buch habe ich mich dann auch an einen Art-Direktor gewandt, der mir bei der Zusammenstellung der Bilder geholfen hat. Er hat 900 Bilder von mir bekommen, um sie in ein Layout zu fassen, wo dann am Schluss ca. 140 übrig bleiben. Manchmal werden dann sehr gute Bilder zurückgelassen, aber das muss sein, damit ein Buch funktioniert, da man ja auch möchte, dass das Projekt homogen wirkt.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Stefan, nach so vielen spannenden Einblicken würde ich gern auf dich als Person zu sprechen kommen. Wie bist du zur Fotografie gekommen?  </p><p class="">Als ich jung war, hat nichts darauf hingedeutet, dass ich einmal Fotograf werde. Ich bin in einem kleinen Dorf in der Schweiz aufgewachsen und habe da erst mal eine Lehre als Landmaschinenmechaniker im elterlichen Betrieb gemacht. Später habe ich dann eine Zusatzausbildung zum Maschinentechniker gemacht, da wir in unserem Betrieb vor allem Forstmaschinen konzipiert und konstruiert haben. Insgesamt habe ich 10 Jahre in der Mechanik gearbeitet.  </p><p class="">Parallel dazu habe ich auch immer etwas fotografiert, war aber mit meinen Fortschritten nicht zufrieden. So habe ich mit 30 Jahren entschieden, eine Fotoschule in Frankreich zu besuchen. Die Idee war, dass ich dann wieder zurück in die Schweiz gehe, aber mir wurde schnell klar, dass das meiner weiteren Entwicklung als Fotograf nicht guttun würde. So habe ich mich entschieden, nach Paris zu ziehen, um dort als Assistent zu arbeiten.  </p>

  1054.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Kannst du mir 3 fotografische Vorbilder nennen?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Am Anfang hatte ich Vorbilder wie Andreas H. Bitesnich oder Herb Ritts. Ich mochte ihren puristischen Stil. Später habe ich dann aber gefunden, dass die Bilder etwas zu clean sind, und habe dann den „mehr lebendigen“ Stil von Peter entdeckt.  </p><p class="">Ich mag aber auch Fotografen wie Saul Leiter, Gregory Crewdson, Gary Winogrand etc.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Auch wenn es bei diesem Interview um deine eigenen Arbeiten geht, möchte ich dennoch einen anderen wichtigen Teil deiner Karriere ansprechen. Du warst einer von mehreren Assistenten von Peter Lindbergh, einer Ikone in der Fotografie. Was hast du von ihm gelernt, was dir heute noch wichtig ist, sei es als Fotograf oder als Mensch allgemein?  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Über meine Zeit mit Peter könnte ich natürlich mehrere Seiten schreiben. Es war eine unglaubliche Erfahrung, die mein Leben für immer prägen wird. Um es kurz zu fassen, würde ich sagen, dass mich seine lebendige und intime Art zu fotografieren am meisten inspiriert hat. Er konnte innerhalb von Sekunden eine Verbindung zum Modell herstellen, was sehr beeindruckend war zu sehen.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Du hattest mir im letzten Jahr etwas über seinen „Führungsstil“ gesagt, das wäre für die Lesenden des Interviews bestimmt auch interessant …  </p><p class="">Stefan Rappo: Führungsstil tönt jetzt ein bisschen hart, da es ja eigentlich das Gegenteil war. Der Peter war immer sehr loyal zu seinen Leuten, und in den fast 8 Jahren die ich mit ihm gearbeitet habe kam nie ein schlechtes Wort von ihm gegen mich. Als Beispiel, ein ehemaliger erster Assistent hat mal zum Aufbau etwas mehr Zeit gebraucht als geplant, und der Set war dann nicht bereit. Dann hat er nur zu ihm gesagt dass es nicht sein Fehler war, sondern dass das Model nur zu früh parat war. Wir hatten ja auch immer in den verschiedenen Ländern verschiede Crews, und die hat er immer als Teil der Familie angesehen, und hat sie auch so behandelt.</p>

  1177.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie empfindest du das gesellschaftliche Umfeld in Frankreich, wo du lebst, bezogen auf die Aktfotografie?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> In Frankreich ist man sehr offen mit der Aktfotografie, verglichen mit anderen Ländern. Allerdings muss man aufpassen, dass man nicht als Aktfotograf abgestempelt wird. Auch wenn hier die Aktfotografie gut akzeptiert wird, stellt es für einige Menschen eine gewisse Barriere dar, was ich sehr schade finde.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Was möchtest du als Fotograf in den nächsten Jahren erreichen?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo: </strong>Im Moment bin ich gerade sehr mit der Fertigstellung des Buches „Tezz“ beschäftigt, was auch sehr zeitraubend ist. Danach werde ich mich nach neuen persönlichen Projekten umsehen und sicher auch meine kommerzielle Fotografie weiterentwickeln.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Was machst du privat gerne, wenn du gerade nicht fotografierst?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Ich fahre sehr gerne Rad und treibe mich auch zu Fuß gerne in den Bergen herum. Ich liebe die Einfachheit, und das findet man doch schon oft in der Natur.  </p><p class="">Ich habe aber auch nichts gegen eine coole Party, aber auch da so einfach wie möglich. Gute Musik, gute Leute und 2-3 Bier. Ich lege auch gerne in meinem kleinen Dorf in der Schweiz auf, da müssen sie mir meistens den Strom abstellen, damit ich aufhöre.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Danke, Stefan, für die spannenden Einsichten. Möchtest du zum Schluss noch etwas sagen?  </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Rappo:</strong> Ja, vielleicht noch einmal zum Buch, es ist wirklich ein sehr intimes und in meinen Augen gelungenes Werk, wenn ich das sagen darf da es ja mein eigenes ist (lacht). Das Buch erzählt eine spannende Geschichte, und mit den Texten von Tezz wird das Ganze Buch verstärkt. Ich bin gerade daran, noch einmal durch alle Bilder zu gehen um sie fürs Buch fertig zu machen, und bei einigen kommt die Emotion wieder hoch und ich habe Tränen in den Augen. </p><p class="">Und sonst, ja der Weg ist das Ziel und „do what makes you fucking happy!!”</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p><p class=""><em>Stefan ist über seine </em><a href="https://www.stefan-rappo.com" target="_blank"><span><em>Website</em></span></a><em> und auf </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stefanrappo/" target="_blank"><span><em>Instagram</em></span></a><em> erreichbar.

  1526.  <p class=""><br><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Alina, nice that we can talk about your art nude photography. Could you start by introducing yourself in a few words?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva:</strong> This is the most difficult part of any interview for me. I am still not used to talk about myself as a presentation.  I was born in 1980 in USSR, Moscow. I am a fully self-taught photographer. In 2004 I bought my first camera. I started doing my own photography and creative projects. During the early years of the career I developed my technique and style based on my mood and life experience. Even though I did not possess a lot of resources, I used my style to create unique images that allowed my natural creativity to shine through.<br> <br> In 2006 I decided to pursue photography professionally. I worked shooting for a variety of businesses and individual clients. Gaining recognition for her personal works, I continued working as a commercial photographer in the fashion industry. My images published in well-known print and digital publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Playing Fashion, Citizen K, and SNC Magazine. Furthermore, some of my other clients included specialty dance shop Grishko and clothing brand Cyrille Gassiline. Additionally, my photographs auctioned in various platforms and sold worldwide.<br> <br> Aside from my personal and commercial projects, I have 10 years’ experience teaching photography and art lessons. Furthermore, I made some international masterclasses and workshops. Through teaching I fulfill my desire to provide students with the resources and opportunities to learn fundamentals. I believe that offering emerging artists such prospects aid in their formative development. I continue to devote my time to the creative endeavors, constant self-development, and education.</p>

  1649.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Your photography reminds me on one hand on portraits and on the other hand on art nude and erotic art. Is that interpretation correct?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>You are absolutely right about mentioning this combination: portrait and art nude, but hardly erotic art. For me there is no separation between these two genres, they are simultaneously fit my pictures. Moreover I would say that any of art nudes are portraits as it is.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What should your images trigger in the viewers head?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>Endless admiration for the beauty of this world and women. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Do you think that this admiration of beauty and women depends on gender? I mean, is there a specifically female view of other women that is reflected in your pictures?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>When a photographer is a professional photographer, he/she (usually) doesn't think about the inter-gender aspect. For a photographer a model is a subject; depending on his idea, she can be a canvas or a person. But for the most part the gender aspect exists on a subconscious level. This is when for example a hetero-oriented male photographer shoots a female model as an object of his personal sexual relationship. In the final pictures I can see this - the presentation is different. In other words, it’s easier to make a woman look sexy in pictures to a man. Sometimes I can play so that this effect can be seen in my works.</p>

  1772.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Did you develop this style over the years or how did you get into it?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>Your own style is not something that can be achieved, learned or developed, it is something that you already have and is always with you, something that you live with. So I never tried to do anything special to get it. I am what I am. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>In addition to the visible perception of beauty and sensuality, do you have a general message that you would like to convey with your work?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>I would like to convey not only the beauty, but also the possibility of interaction between the artist and the audience. And if my invisible message responds, then everything has worked out.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>The interaction between artist and audience is a fascinating aspect. Could you describe this aspect a little further in relation to your work? </p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>The only thing I'm sure of and that works exactly like this: you are what you see.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>The pictures show younger women as protagonists who probably most people find beautiful, sensual. Could you tell me more about your protagonists and there roles in your shoots? </p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>If we talk about creativity, then the main character is me, my mood is the colors, and the model is the canvas. The model should be in tune with me visually, then I put the rest into the picture myself.</p>

  1895.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>The colors and the canvas are a vivid metaphor. In my interview with Vincent Peters, he emphasized that the models do not show themselves but are subject to his direction. The photographer as the director of a still, is that what you are describing?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>If the shooting is creative and the photographer shoots for himself, then yes - he is the director of the session. In the case of commerce, there is a customer, he has the right to determine the appearance of the shooting and the plot. In the case of a joint idea and work, each participant in the shooting has the right to speak out, but in essence the final result is created by the photographer.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Now we are coming to the most important aspect in my opinion: How do you create yours ideas? Are you more intuitive or do you approach a photo shoot conceptually?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>For the most part, I act intuitively. I don't like plans, templates or scenarios in my work. Of course, this does not mean that I rely entirely on the model, but rather on myself. Before shooting I discuss with the model the options for poses and the general mood of today, but then I do not constrain her in this and do not tie her to certain actions and plots, I can correct her manifestations if something goes wrong as I see it. It is important to me that a person shows himself naturally and this is possible only when you do not direct him entirely yourself.</p>

  2018.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How can I imagine a shoot with you, i.e. how do you choose the location, how long does it take etc.</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>Refarding the choice of location, everything is simple - the location should be visually combined with the mood. I can't say that it's easy for me to choose a studio or any other place for this, because most locations are focused on commerce and are quite monotonous in their callousness.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you find the people who come in front of your camera and what are their motives for participating in your shoots?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>If we talk about creative sessions, it's not easy. Ideally, the interaction occurs when the model finds me as a photographer who impressed her and turns to me, and this model suits me in turn. It also happens the other way, when I find a model that arouses my creative interest. This may be an external interest and also some interesting features of her or behavior.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What is a good picture?&nbsp;When are you happy with your work?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>Everything was successful when the picture combines my inner and outer. The result depends on both the photographer and the model. Double luck is when the viewer understands it the same way.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Do you also photograph other motivs? </p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>If you mean do I shoot in other genres besides nude, then I can say that nude is just one of those genres in which I work. Nude genre just attracts significantly more audience attention than all the others combined. Portrait, fashion, commerce, modeling - that's all what I do also.</p>

  2141.  <p class="">T<strong>homas Berlin: </strong>Let's get to the technical side of your photography: Which camera and lenses are you using mostly.</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>Canon 5D Mark IV + Canon lenses: 35, 50, 85mm</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you deal with light? And what is your most important light setup?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>My most important light is a natural daylight. Understanding all the nuances of working with this light, it becomes malleable and surprisingly diverse. In case if daylight is not available, I use studio equipment, more often permanent lightning, in fact for imitating daylight with them.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What does your workflow look like after the shoot? </p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>If you mean postprocessing, I use classic Photoshop for light retouching, colour correction or BW processing. I never use any artificial intellects or any programs that modify the bodies or the picture itself. For me is an important part of being a photographer is to make a true picture myself.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What do you want to achieve photographically in the next few years?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>In the next years I am planning to make more training programs and organize online courses as well.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Is photography your main professional activity? </p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>Yes, that’s my main professional activity for many years. Last year I studied perfumery in Grasse and perhaps one day you will see my perfume.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:&nbsp; </strong>That's exciting, maybe one day you'll have your own brand. What do you like to do privately when you are not taking photos?</p><p class=""><strong>Alina Lebedeva: </strong>The real everyday life is the important part, this is where I get my&nbsp; energy and inspiration from. I enjoy the outdoors, driving my car, meeting with friends, petting my cats, watching movies and reading books. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Alina, thank you for the interesting insights. </p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p><p class=""><em>You can find Alina on her </em><a href="https://www.alina-lebedeva.com" target="_blank"><span><em>website</em></span></a><em> and on </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/alinalebedeva_portraits/" target="_blank"><span><em>Instagram</em></span></a><em>.

We will talk about your photographing approach in model photography. But as a start: Could you introduce yourself in a few words?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter Coulson: </strong>Thanks so much for having me, Thomas. I push buttons haha… I’m a fashion photographer from Melbourne, Australia. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas: </strong>How would you describe your style in the model photography in general to a person who doesn’t see your work?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter: </strong>My work is mainly black and white, and a mix of beauty, fashion and my own ‘edgy’ stuff. I am a light, and eye Photographer. I look at light a lot, and then once I get my scene set up, with the lighting, I then provoke the eyes or watch for the eyes. The whole photo depends on the eye of the person I am shooting, it is more important than the light, background, makeup or styling.</p>

  2560.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> So the light is your starting point, as I understand it. Then we should definitely talk about your light setup later. But first, I'm curious what you mean by your "edgy" stuff ....</p><p class=""><strong>Peter:</strong> Non-woke haha… I have a series I’ve been working on for many years called ‘mirrors’, and the images in it have lots of different elements that will distract the viewer from my true meaning on the photo but everyones personal interpretation of it will tell me about themselves, like a mirror.&nbsp; On my webpage there’s a section titled ‘my stuff’ which has heaps of examples of my more edgy work. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas: </strong>What should your images trigger in the viewers head?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter:</strong> It has to evoke something, or make you think something.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas: </strong>Did you develop your style over the years or how did you get into it?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter:</strong> I used to turn my photo black and white to see if it ‘popped’, and if it did, it meant the picture was working in colour. When I edit, I also put a Black &amp; white layer on to be able to see the imperfections better, then turn it off. I eventually couldn’t turn the black and white off because I liked it better than the colour version. My style has evolved from stronger fashion &amp; fetish to a little more woman &amp; beauty, but I still have a lot of fun doing the fashion &amp; fetish, I go through waves.</p>

In the beginning I was fascinated with shooting both women and men, but I found that if I shot a really nice photo of a female they would get all excited and take selfie shots off the screen and loved the picture, where as I got continually frustrated when I shot male models, they would look at the photo and say ‘my eyebrow is crooked, can we do it again?’ they were never happy with the shot.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> How do you create yours ideas for a shoot? Are you more intuitive or do you approach a photo shoot conceptually?</p>

  2806.  <p class=""><strong>Peter:</strong> Normally I’ll see something, and a lot of the time I can just write down a single word or two words and every time I see those two words it’ll remind me of what I’ve just seen. Then I go into my storyboard folder and collect imagery that reinforces the way I’m interpreting whatever inspired me to have the thought in the first place and also so I can use it as reference photos for models and stylists alike. Then it’s just a matter of finding the right team for that look, so working out what make up artist, what hair stylist, what model, what location, what props. Some of them are really simple and I don’t need much, but others might take me years because while I have the idea, I haven’t found the right model that suits my idea, so it’s very varied. But sometimes concepts just happen. You might be trying to do something and then one thing moves and everything changes, your whole shift changes and you’re like ‘wow that’s 100 times better than what I was thinking’. Some of my best concepts are the ones that evolve during a shoot. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> Peter, how can I imagine a shoot with you in terms of interaction with the model?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter:</strong> I work a lot differently to other photographers. When a model comes in for a test shoot, I have her go through my inspiration folder and let her pick the feel and style of what she wants to do. The folder is photos I’ve collected so I’m going to like it regardless, it just lets me know what style she would like so we can collaborate. I normally spend about 30minutes talking with the model, breaking the ice and getting to know them a bit. Then I’m always talking to the model throughout the shoot, if I see them getting lost I ask ‘who are you looking at?’. I don’t want them to answer me, but I want them to think about it - if they think they are in a studio on a photoshoot that’s a fail. They need to be looking at someone or something that will give them an emotion. </p>

  2929.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas: </strong>What is a good picture?&nbsp;When are you happy with your work?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter: </strong>Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes. If you get the eyes amazing it doesn’t matter what the hair or make-up looks like, or what they are wearing or what the location is, the eyes are going to tell the story. That’s when I’m happy with my work. All I’m trying to do is stop people on my work for 10 seconds, if I do that I win. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> Do you also photograph other motifs? </p><p class=""><strong>Peter: </strong>I shoot all different themes, I love shooting dancers, and have a lot of different series that have been works in progress for years. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> You are traveling worldwide as far as I know. Even if it´s not exactly your genre: Do you see a different approach or behaves in different cultures in sensual photography? Do you have an example?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter: </strong>Yes absolutely. American culture sees skin and instantly thinks of sex. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> Let’s get to the technical side of your photography: Which camera and lenses are you using mostly?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter: </strong>My Hasselblad H6D-50c is my favourite camera in the world, but unfortunately it’s been discontinued. I have two of them at the moment, I’m thinking of getting a third because there’s no spare parts so when my two eventually die, that’s it. For that reason, I don’t take them out of the studio. I’m also loving the Leica SL2 and SL2-S. Lens wise, most of my work is shot around 80mm.  </p>

  3052.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> How do you deal with light? And what is your most important light setup?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter:</strong> Nothing beats natural light, I will always shoot natural light whenever I can. But commercially we can’t rely on it as it might be an overcast day when we need full sun, so having the ability to replicate that in the studio and move lights &amp; walls is super important. My other ‘go-to’ is a 5foot Octabox and v-flats, I can do so much with those. I prefer to just use one light.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> Is there a practical or creative reason why you only use one light? </p><p class=""><strong>Peter: </strong>We live under the sun, which is only one light. Using only one light makes my life easier and gives me so much more room to move. All my one light set ups always have more than just one look I can get with it, which allows me to work super fast for my clients. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas: </strong>What does your workflow look like after the shoot? </p><p class=""><strong>Peter: </strong>I back everything up in 3 different places, global work in RAW and then predominantly dodging and burning in photo shop. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas: </strong>What are the most important parts regarding interacting with the model, technical aspects and postprocessing? </p><p class=""><strong>Peter: </strong>Interacting with the model is the most important thing, the subject is the most important thing in my photos. Then technicals. Postprocessing is the least important to me. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> You share your knowledge in workshops, among other things, and have got to know many participants. What distinguishes photographers who develop successfully from others who don't? Is it a question of mindset or fundamental strengths/weaknesses?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter: </strong>It’s the people that are dedicated and have passion will always get there. Skill means nothing. I always tell people to keep shooting what you love and don’t listen to anyone else. And that it will probably take about 10000 hours of practice, just like anything else in the world. </p>

  3175.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas: </strong>Let’s get to yourself. How did you get into photography?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter:</strong> My first experience with photography was when I borrowed my dad’s Minolta for a <em>Chuck Berry’s</em> gig. I was photographing musicians and bands on the side initially. The passion grew over time, I just wanted to create.</p><p class="">I did go to photography college when I finished high-school, but was kicked-out after 2 months because I kept asking “why”. They could never answer my questions, and it was frustrating that I couldn’t get the answers. After this I went to Sound Engineering school. Photography became a hobby at this point, and continued being a hobby throughout all my careers. Once my business (fishing) needed photography, I shot them, and that was where I started working ‘commercially’. A magazine approached me wanted me to shoot for them in the style I was shooting, and it all evolved from there.</p><p class="">I made the transition from shooting lifestyle to fashion and people because I was enjoying creating, rather than capturing what was happening. After 1 fashion shoot, I was addicted. I liked the creativity and control. And like anybody, I start shooting everything from babies, real estate, corporate headshots, any photography work that would pay my rent and bills. As I got better, I was able to hone into the clients I actually wanted to shoot for, allowing me to drop off the work I didn’t enjoy doing</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> What do you want to achieve photographically in the next few years?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter:</strong> I just want to keep shooting my shit! </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas: </strong>What do you like to do privately when you are not taking photos?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter:</strong> I have a racing car simulator that I try get on for an hour a day, I love formula one and super cars, any chance I get to watch a race I will. I also really love music, listening to it and writing it. I don’t get much time to write much these days but it’s a great escape whenever I can.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas:</strong> Peter, thank you very much for your insights. Is there anything else you would like to mention?</p><p class=""><strong>Peter:&nbsp; </strong>Take a deep breath and be true to yourself. If you don’t like it, don’t shoot it. I still waste too much time shooting things I do not like. Sometimes it is better to watch a movie, a Youtube, something that inspires you rather then wasting your time on shooting something that will uninspire you and question what you do. Thanks so much for having me. </p><p class=""><br></p><p class=""><em>You can find Peter on his </em><a href="https://inspire.peter-coulson.com.au" target="_blank"><em>website</em></a><em> and on </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/petercoulson/" target="_blank"><em>instagram</em></a><em>.

  3331.  <p class="">Paris, the city of love, light and artistic attraction, is the venue for one of the world's most prestigious events in the field of photography - the annual art fair "Paris Photo". It is a paradise for enthusiasts, collectors and artists alike. The event brings together some of the most prestigious photographers, galleries, publishing houses and curators.</p><p class="">The richness of Paris Photo lies in its ability to present a broad spectrum of photographic styles and genres. Visitors have the opportunity to explore the intersection of culture, history and technology through the lens of numerous artists. Also for art collectors and enthusiasts, Paris Photo is a real treasure trove. Not only because of the art fair itself, but also because of numerous other exhibitions, vernissages and encounters outside the art fair but at the same time. </p>

  3443.  <p class="">In addition to exhibitions, vernissages and many encounters in and around the art fair Paris Photo, I also used my stay in Paris this year for my own photo shoots. The pictures in this article give a first impression. Paris radiates a certain joie de vivre and creativity that inspires photographers, among others.  The city has produced many artists who have used nude photography as a form of expression. Paris also has an open and tolerant atmosphere that creates a space for photographers to express their visions. Overall, the mixture of cultural history, artistic tradition, romantic ambience and creative freedom contributes to the special charm of nude photography especially in Paris.</p>

  3555.  <p class="">The essence of a photo shoot is to create images that are not only visually appealing, but in the best case also trigger a mental cinema or capture a certain mood. Here are some elements that are important to me in photo shoots:</p><p class="">- Establishing the style  and atmosphere you want to convey with the images. Is also a clear message needed? I am not convinced yet.</p><p class="">- Communication between the photographer, the model and other team members. That's why it's important to me that we can also communicate in a common language.</p><p class="">- At its best, a photo shoot offers room for creativity and innovation for everyone involved. This can mean trying out new perspectives, playing with the light or spontaneously changing the planned set-up.</p>

  3683.  <p class="">- Harmonious teamwork between photographer, models, make-up artists and other participants helps to realise a coherent vision. If the people don't know each other, familiarity must be established. In Paris, for example, I shot with two models at the same time who did not yet know each other. We therefore took a playful approach at first. A funny pillow fight between the two models at the beginning ensured fun and a light-hearted interaction during the shoot.</p>

  3806.  <p class="">- An important goal is to capture emotions and convey expression in the images which adds depth to a photo shoot. Both the photographer and the model help to create an emotional connection that brings the images to life.</p><p class="">- A photo shoot can take unpredictable turns. The ability to be flexible and adapt to different situations is crucial. Especially in new and unfamiliar locations. Flexibility makes it possible to capture spontaneous moments and capitalise also unexpected opportunities.</p><p class="">- Time management is important to keep to the time frame of the photo shoot and ensure that all planned elements are covered. This requires a bit planning and organisation in advance. However, I am always prepared to abandon all my planning if new and better ideas arise. I can do this because I always realise free projects and am not bound by commercial specifications.</p>

  3918.  <p class="">- The post-processing of the images and their presentation are next steps. The editing should support the desired style and vision of the photo shoot. I edit my images myself and don't work with retouchers because I see image editing as an integral part of my creative process. The presentation of the final images helps to convey the story or message. This includes one of the most difficult tasks after a photo shoot: selecting a few images from an ocean of possibilities. </p><p class="">To summarise, the essence of a photo shoot is the interplay of collaboration, creativity, technical ability, communication and the ability to capture emotion. A successful photo shoot not only creates appealing images, but also conveys a certain mood or opens the mind's cinema. I leave it to you to judge whether I have somehow succeeded with these pictures.

  4109.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Céline, I am happy that we can do this interview. Firstly we are going to talk about you as a model and secondly about your own photography and paintings. But first of all: How would you describe yourself in just a few words?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> My name is Céline, I’m 35, I’m a full time artist and I live in Paris, France.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Please let us start about your model career: What was the main reason to become a model and how did you start?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> I was very shy in front of a camera for a long period of time and I guess I finally let my guard down when several photographers enquired about posing for them. But it’s been a long process that came during the making of my body suit.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> But now you are very self confident and aware of your body. Was that always the case or did modeling help to achieve that confidence?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta: </strong>I have always been confident with nudity and I guess working on my body as a canvas helped me greatly being aware of my body. Modeling has helped for sure achieving confidence.</p>

I have been a full time artist for the last five years, juggling between my own photography work and professional modeling.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Did you do something creative before modeling? </p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> I have always practiced analog photography.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Please tell me a bit more about your first steps as a model.</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta: </strong>When I was first asked to pose in 2015 my body was considerably changing. I started my bodysuit in 2009 and finished it in 2019. At first I thought it was an interesting way to document my physical evolution. But it quickly became one of my favorite mediums to create and express myself with. What I enjoy the most is taking an idea and making it happen in real life: thinking about a theme, creating the perfect team, choosing a location, accessories, etc. Sharing this passion with other photographers, observing and learning tricks from each of them.</p>

Could you tell me what that means and why you decided to do that?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> To me it just means I allowed myself to be who I am and live the way I want to!</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>So you turned your body into an artwork itself. How did you do that and how does that reflect your life and your work?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta: </strong>I got my first tattoo when I was 15 but it’s only years later, at 21, that I developed a genuine interest in tattoo culture and decided to get a full body suit. It took me approximately 10 years to achieve it. I used to travel once a month to do a new session. It was a long, painful and full of self-abnegation process but such a powerful journey. At the time, it was way more underground than today. I mean it was rare to meet a person with a bodysuit. Later it became a trend. It’s interesting to see that after using my body as a canvas, I’m now using it as a subject itself through my painted photographs.</p>

And to always check photographers background and references to make sure their aesthetics and ethics match their expectations.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What is your advice to photographers how they should treat the model due to achieve a successful shoot?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> A photographer should always respect his model and make sure everything is fine during the whole shooting. He should be clear about what images he intends to produce and exchange ideas during the shoot. The result is always better when everyone is involved.</p>

The soul of the artist lives in the artwork and it’s possible to feel it.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> You are also creating images both as photographs and paintings. How would you describe your images and maybe your mission as a photographer and painter?</p>

  5000.  <p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> Nowadays, I mainly paint with a lot of texture on my solarized photographs with gold acrylics and gold leaves. I don’t want to depict reality, I would say it’s very oniric. It’s both a photograph and a painting depending on how you are looking at it. Like a floating world.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Solarization in Paris remind me of May Ray and Lee Miller. How important is French photographic history and surrealism as inspiration for you?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta: </strong>I started solarization as a tribute to Lee Miller and Man Ray. I added my own twist to it. I love surrealism in all its forms. I enjoyed very much reading André Breton, watching Bunuel movies, looking at Dora Maar’s photography work and collages. This is endless… Paris is a dream for an artist.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Could you describe your first steps regarding photography and painting? How did you learn to paint and to photograph?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta: </strong>I have started analog photography at a very early age thanks to my father who is also an artist and photographer. He taught me all the basic techniques. I got my first camera when I was 6 and I have never stopped shooting film since then. As far as painting I’m self-taught.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Who are your role models?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> I have so many inspirations but to name some of my role models in Art : Suzanne Valadon, Sonia Delaunay, Anna Eva Bergman, Lee Miller.</p>

  5128.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> In which cases do you prefer a painting over a photo and vice versa?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> I will always prefer a painting over a photograph. In my opinion it conveys so much more emotions.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> You are also doing self portraits, I think more than model shots as far as I saw your work. Why self portraits and what did you learn about yourself and your body?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta: </strong>I have always enjoyed shooting portraits of other people. After years modeling for photographers it made sense to try self-portraits at some point. This is how my series “Corps Aurifère“ was born. I merged all my practices into one: photography, painting, modeling. This series is my most personal one.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> How would you describe your approach as a photographer? How can I imagine how you handle your model shoots?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> I’m a bit like Gisèle Freund. I like people to feel at ease and forget I’m behind the camera. My favorite images are stolen moments.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> How do you deal with light? Do you also use artificial light in your photography?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> When working in analog indoor I use artificial light but I always use natural light for outdoor shoots or when using digital.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> You are shooting both analogously and digitally. Why both? And what is your camera and lens you use mostly?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta: </strong>I have a Contax G1 with a Carl Zeiss 45mm lens and a Canon EOS5D with a 35mm lens. I started with analog and I like that everything is manual. The work approach is totally different too. I also enjoy shooting with my Polaroid SX-70. I guess I’m just very nostalgic!</p>

  5256.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> What is a good photo? On the one hand from your models perspective and on the other hand from your photographers or painters perspective.</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> If a photo is good it should be good from all points of view. The light, the frame are important but how the subject is depicted too. I feel like a photo is good when it’s beautiful and makes you feel emotions when looking at it.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> You are traveling internationally. Which countries or cities impressed you most?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta: </strong>Asia is my most beloved continent. Probably because I have been travelling there since I’m a child. I feel at ease and more in harmony than in Europe. Even though Europe and the USA are some fun playgrounds too!</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What are your plans for the future?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> I’m exhibiting several new images from “Corps Aurifère“ at Imagenation taking place in Paris, November 10-11-12, Galerie Joseph le Palais.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> After so many insights about your photography activities I am curious if you also have a passion outside the photo or art scene?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> My whole life revolves around art but I’m passionate about so many other things like history, litterature or martial arts.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Céline, thank you very much for this interview. Is there anything else you would like to say?</p><p class=""><strong>Céline Aieta:</strong> Thank you Thomas for having me! Being an artist is both the most beautiful and the toughest job. Every bit of help or encouragement is always welcome!</p><p class=""><br><em>Find Céline on </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/inspiredtattooportraits/" target="_blank"><em>Instagram</em></a><em>. </em></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p><p class="">More paintings and solarisations by Céline Aieta:</p>

Could you please introduce yourself in a few words?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori:</strong> Hello Thomas, first of all I would like to thank you for your interest. I am Fabien Dettori, I live and work in Paris and I’ve been an artist all my life..</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Your photography reminds me on old paintings. These images focus mostly on the female body.You work with low light, dark background and have a minimalistic approach. Did I describe it correctly or would you like to correct or add something? Did you develop this style over the years or how did you get into it?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>My mother is a painter and my father is a photography enthusiast. So I guess I am a mix between those two mediums. I started as a press photographer and then went into fashion photography but my culture is more about interpretation of the reality than showing reality. I am trying to catch the invisible, the emotion. I try to go as close as possible to the truth. When you are naked there is no more signs of social class. The clothes also date the images, they bear witness to an era. You can hide behind an outfit and play a role. That’s why I try to focus on emotions, they are timeless and much more powerful. I am looking for the real intimacy. It’s like documenting life. It’s becoming something universal.</p>

  5673.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>In addition to the visible perception of beauty and sensuality, do you have a general message that you would like to convey with your work?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>Picasso used to say «&nbsp;I don’t paint what I see I paint what I think&nbsp;» His words could apply to my way of working.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>The pictures show younger women as protagonists. Could you tell me more about your protagonists and how they get into their roles?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>I am not looking for models but I am looking for personality. It’s more an experience than a classic shooting. I want them to be themselves, to dig into their emotions. I am looking for authenticity. They are used to be asked to follow the vision of the photographer, the fantasy, but not to express who they really are. What I am really looking for is the inner poetry of emotions. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What should your stories trigger in the viewer?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>I never think about that when I am working. I just try to express my vision, my sensibility without thinking about how it will be seen. Basically if I am satisfied about an artwork I say to myself that someone else will like it too. Photography is like literature, you have a story in front of your eyes. Painting is more like music, it takes more effort. You have to take your time in front of a Soulages or a Rothko painting. Some of my images are deliberately very dark. They require a special effort to reveal themselves. In this way, I give them a personality. They don't give themselves away easily. For me, these are the most interesting images, because they create an interaction with the viewer, and have to be earned.  </p>

  5803.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you create the idea of a theme or a story? Is your approach more intuitive or based on a concept?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>Every model is different, we are all singular. There is no rule. So I never prepare a session. I never make a «&nbsp;story&nbsp;», this is a word for editorial job. I don’t do that. I don’t work for press. I do accept once a year a fashion story for a magazine but I do that for fun. In my work each picture must work by itself. Like a painting.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you prepare for a shoot?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>I try to talk first with the person I am going to work with. I try to detect who she is, her sensibility, her failures, what we inspire to each other. Then we look together at some art books, Degas, Rodin, Klimt and we discuss about our feelings, our emotions. This process gives us a first direction and then we start shooting. The subject always drives me, I never know what I am going to do. It is instinctive. I put a lot of pressure on myself before putting my eye behind the camera. I always want to give the very best of myself. The creative process is always painful. It’s full of doubts. I don’t take any pleasure to make some photos. I am very focus and emotionally very sensitive to try to catch those little emotional sparks. My technic is very singular, I make my own lens formula, I work with old and rusty analog cameras.&nbsp; I always have to keep in mind this quiet heavy side. It is all manual. I take the light with a lightmeter, set the aperture and speed, check the film holder, cock the shutter, do the manual focus…It would be much more easier to work with a digital camera, ready to shoot but the result won’t be the same…I feel like a craftsman. </p>

  5923.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>And what about the interaction with the model?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>I always work alone. It is all about intimacy and trust. We decide with the model the direction we want to take and I let them live the moment in a total freedom. Sometimes with music. It’s like a dance. <strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you find the people who come in front of your camera and what are their motives for participating in your pictures?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>Social media is my main way to find models. They contact me or I contact them and after some few messages&nbsp; they come to my atelier. The most difficult part is to find an availability in our respective schedule. I think they first contact me because they like my work and then after few messages they are interested to experience a new way of working based on their personality rather than on just beauty. It is a real artistic collaboration.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>When are you happy with your work? And what is a good picture in general?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>I am happy when the picture is profoundly sincere and emotional. When it tells a story. There is also a lot of reference, symbolism in my pictures. But you have to look at them closely.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Do you photograph only humans or also other motifs?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>I really love to shoot still life. I am inspired by the Japanese philosophy of the Wabi Sabi which consist to find poetry into melancholia or objects worn by time. It echoes our own condition. A faded flower has much more poetry than a fresh one. There is a multitude of shades, a richness of colors that symbolize the passing of time and the preciousness of it. Still life also require to look at things in a fully open and extra sensitive way. I am working on a long term project about still life. I think it would be called «&nbsp;My Things&nbsp;» it is about all those objects that we keep without knowing why. But they are here for such a long time that they end up to be a part of your life, to represent some memories…They are like a piece of our past. We end up personifying these objects.</p>

  6053.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Let’s get to the technical side of your art, especially your analog photography. Which cameras and lenses are you using mostly?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>The camera I use the most is an old Mamiya Universal with a 127mm lens (with a home made lens formula.) and a Polaroid film holder. I also use a 4x5 Horseman and several Mamiya RZ67. That’s the ones I use the most. But I have more than 30 medium and large format analog cameras. They are just tools I use like a mechanician and his toolbox. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>You already mentioned that the results of easy digital images are not the same like your analog photography. Do you mean more the craftsman-like photographic process or also the different rendeing of the images?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>With analog cameras you have to take your time due to all the manual settings, it’s an other way of working. There is also much more interaction with the model. You have to be more focus on the instant. With the digital there is this «&nbsp;let’s shoot and check later&nbsp;» and I feel that the camera&nbsp; screen is like a barrier between the model and me. It’s less organic. But&nbsp; I am mixing both, they’re just tools.</p>

  6183.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you deal with light? And what is your most important light setup?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>I like to mix day light and fluorescent lighting. When I started into studio photography in my 20’s I was first an assistant at the iconic Pin Up Studios in Paris where I had the opportunity to assist some of the greatest fashion photographers. There is a quote that I like «&nbsp;learn your classics and create your own rules&nbsp;» So I am always creating some new set up’s. I have been into photography for more than 30 years now so I can say that I am experienced with light. She is a good friend of mine, she is like a brush, I paint with light.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What does your workflow look like after the shoot?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>I try to edit as soon as possible to keep the emotion of the shooting alive. But there is some Polaroid who can wait for years before I work on them. No rules once again.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Fabien, could you describe the editing process in more detail?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori:</strong> Editing is to choose THE image. When I take photos, I release the shutter several times. Editing is where I choose which of the different images is the strongest. The others will be destroyed. For the Polaroid it’s something else. The manipulation, as you call it, is an integral part of my creative process. It's at this stage that I can integrate my interpretation, texture and oxidation of gold in reference to my oxidized memory. It's at this point that I leave photography and move on to painting. That’s why some pieces need more time. Francis Bacon used to say that he never knew which direction to take when he started a painting, but that it was the subject that drove him. In fact it has a lot to do with instinct</p>

  6313.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Fabien, now I would like to come to a specific part of your work which I would call „Polaroid Manipulation“. Is that a correct term? And what does it mean in your photography?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>What I like with Polaroids it’s that they are Unique like a painting. They are a unique moment of life. A unique witness of an emotion. That makes them precious. But it’s not enough. So I use a technic called emulsion lift that I apply on 24k gold to make them even more precious. I can also oxidize the gold and paint on the support.&nbsp; The support is the wooden cardboard where I paint and apply the gold leaves before putting the emulsion . All those steps must have a signification. I don’t like to do things just to make them pretty. It would be meaningless. The oxidation for example is to symbolise my oxidized memory. The gold is for the preciousness of time. I can also include the Japanese art of Kintsugi in my artwork. Photography is just a tool, one step in my creative process. There is no clear boundaries between photography and painting . Both are just tools for me to express my vision, my emotions. I don’t see myself as a classic photographer or a painter. I am just me doing what I like with my own rules. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Oh, Kintsugi? Does that mean that you tear apart images and put them back together again? Or how can I imagine that?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>For years I tore up unselected images. There's a violent gesture in tearing photos, especially Polaroids, which are one-of-a-kind pieces. I couldn't bring myself to throw them away, so I kept them in an envelope. Then one day I discovered Kintsugi, and it clicked. From these worthless, damaged pieces of life, I put them back together. It's like giving a preciousness to an object that no longer had any. It's about magnifying flaws instead of hiding them. This obviously echoes our own condition.</p>

I tried to quit a few times. I was a music and concert producer for a while but I guess you can’t escape your destiny. I am lucky enough to sell well my artworks. I have a large amount of art collectors who like and believe in my work. So yes, it’s a 24/7 job. I am so thankful to have this luxury to do what I love and to be free. But every morning is a new start. Never take anything for granted</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Do you only do personal work due to sell artworks or do you also do commissioned photography?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>I can accept commissioned work sometimes. From selected brand or art collector. And once a year a fashion editorial story for a magazine. Just to find back the pleasure to work with a team. But 90% of my work is a personal work.</p>

  6578.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you sell your artworks? And what part of your work is most successful?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>When the Covid crisis appears all my exhibition projects in US, Italy, Germany has been postponed and cancelled. So I had time to promote my work on social networks and surprisingly some art collectors start to buy my work online more and more. And till today the sales are still growing up. They first buy limited prints and when I have the opportunity to show them the piece unique in gold firsthand they start to collect them. It’s my «&nbsp;signature&nbsp;» work, closer to painting and most of all unique. They have to be seen first-hand, they play with light and are difficult to reproduce for screens. Collectors acquire something more personal and precious. A piece of intimacy. And they are more affordable than prints. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Did I really understand it correctly that these unique artworks are more affordable than prints?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori:</strong> Yes but it is due to their small format. And I am ok with that. I am more happy to sell those little pieces of life, more intimate, closer to what I am than a large print in multiple edition. It’s really a singular work and they are much more than just an image. They all have their own personality. They are very unique. I also like the fact that everybody can have access to this work. </p>

  6708.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What do you want to achieve in the next few years?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>I never know what I’m going to do tomorrow. I live day by day. My lifestyle suits me perfectly. I am used to it. I have found my balance in this chaotic organisation…Artist life is full of up’s and down’s nothing is really predictable. There is no recipe…no real plan. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>After so many professional insights, what do you do in your private life when you’re not producing art?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>To be an artist is a full time life. Professional and private life does not exist. There is no clear time table. But I like going to museums, taking care of my two daughters. I have the chance to share my life with a woman who is an artist too so she understand this way of life and we share the same interest for art. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Just one last question, Fabien. When is your next exhibition?</p><p class=""><strong>Fabien Dettori: </strong>Soon.&nbsp;From 2nd until 9th November 2023 in Galerie Chapon, 17 rue Chapon, Paris. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> See you there, Fabien. Thanks for the interview!<br></p><p class=""><em>Social media: Fabien is on </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dettorifabien/" target="_blank"><em>Instagram</em></a><em>.</em>&nbsp; </p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p>

This year (2023) I was in Arles in the second week of July to see exhibitions and meet other photo enthusiasts. It is an international photography festival held annually in Arles, France. It serves as a vibrant platform for photographers and photography enthusiasts to showcase and explore contemporary and historic photographic works. The festival features a diverse range of exhibitions, workshops, and events, celebrating the art of photography while fostering dialogue and collaboration within the global photographic community.</p><p class="">There were also some pictures of mine on display in a <a href="https://www.profifoto.de/szene/events/2023/05/28/a-state-of-consciousness/" target="_blank">group exhibition intiated by ProfiFoto</a>. By chance, I also had the opportunity to see the studio of the late founder of the festival, Lucien Clergue, which I wrote about <a href="https://thomasberlin.net/blog/2023/lucien-clergue-atelier-arles" target="_blank">here</a>. Besides the pictures shown below, I had already shown some impressions of the festival a few years ago <a href="https://thomasberlin.net/rencontres-darles-2018" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p class="">The series of pictures shown below is from July 2023 and was taken on film. Somehow I felt like the analogue pictorial approach. Just with a point &amp; shoot camera from the last Century and a 36 images film.</p>

Lucien Clergue's daughter Anne and his assistant Maja kindly allowed me to visit them, which I was very happy about.</p><p class="">Lucien Clergue, a grand seigneur of French photography, lived from 1934 to 2014. He became famous for his photographs of people, including early nudes. He was also a friend of Picasso, who encouraged him in his work and also modeled for him. In addition, 54 years ago, he was a co-founder of what has become the largest photo festival, Rencontres d'Arles, held annually in the southern French town of Arles.</p><p class="">In the studio, Maja showed me the post-shooting workflow, the lab and the archive system. The highlight was the presentation of prints from the Zebra Nude series, which are female nudes with a zebra-like shadow pattern. All images were taken in analog and in sunlight. </p><p class="">Many thanks to Anne and Maja for this experience.</p><p class="">Interesting links: <a href="https://www.anneclergue.com" target="_blank">Galerie Anne Clergue</a>, <a href="https://lucien-clergue.com/en/" target="_blank">Atelier Lucien Clergue</a>, <a href="https://www.rencontres-arles.com" target="_blank">Rencontres d`Arles</a></p><p class="">My impressions from the last years in Arles: <a href="https://thomasberlin.net/rencontres-darles-2018" target="_blank">Gallery</a></p>

  8346.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Vanessa, du bist professionelle Fotografin in der People Fotografie. Heute würde ich mit dir gern über einen speziellen Teil deiner Arbeit sprechen: Deine Influencer Kampagnen und später vielleicht noch über deine freien Projekte. Starten wir mit der Influencer-Fotografie. Was ist für dich eigentlich Influencer Fotografie?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch:</strong> Hi, ich freue mich, dass ihr euch für meine Fotografie interessiert und gebe euch gern einen kleinen Einblick. Zunächst als Überblick: ich mache neben Influencer-Fotografie auch Mode- und Produktfotografie und Portraits, aber auch Hochzeiten. </p><p class="">Deine erste Frage macht schon ein großes Thema auf. Die Art, wie heutzutage „Werbung“ gemacht wird, hat sich durch Instagram sehr verändert. Früher wurde eine Anzeige in einem Magazin gebucht, heute sind es Storys und Posts bei Instagram. Dabei ist es wichtig, authentischen und ehrlichen Content zu liefern. Als Follower vertraue ich auf das Wort und die Empfehlungen des Influencers. Glaubwürdigkeit und Authentizität sind unglaublich wichtig. Man hat eine Verantwortung gegenüber seinen Followern und muss sich selbst dabei auch treu bleiben. Mein Job ist es genau diese Anforderung hochwertig umzusetzen, ohne dass es zu gestellt oder unnatürlich ist. Außer es soll wirklich wie eine Parfüm-Kampagne oder Modestrecke aussehen, das kommt immer auf den Influencer oder Job an. Für mich ist es großartig, mit kreativen, starken Persönlichkeiten zusammenzuarbeiten und gemeinsam kreativ eine Kampagne zu planen und umzusetzen. Es muss zu dem Stil des Influencers passen und den Vorstellungen der Brand entsprechen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie würdest du deinen fotografischen Stil jemandem beschreiben, der deine Bilder nicht kennt?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Ich würde sagen, ich fotografiere sehr modern, feminin, zeitlos und stilvoll, bei der Bearbeitung achte ich sehr auf natürliche Hauttöne.</p>

  8469.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Auf deinen Bildern der Influencer Kampagnen sehe ich meist junge schöne Frauen, die sehr natürlich und gleichzeitig hedonistisch wirken, ihr Leben im Griff haben und es genießen. Wie erreichst du die natürliche und positive Stimmung deiner Portraits? </p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Die Verbindung zu meinen Models ist sehr wichtig. Sie müssen sich wohlfühlen und ich nenne es immer „sich selbst fühlen“. Das geht nur, wenn wir eine gute Connection haben, vorher etwas quatschen, sodass sie sich fallen lassen können. Die Atmosphäre bei meinen Shoots ist entspannt und ungezwungen, man kann sagen freundschaftlich. Ich möchte immer gute Stimmung am Set. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wieweit entspricht dieser Stil der Influencer-Kampagnen auch deinem Selbstverständnis? Ich meine, wie unterscheiden sich diese Jobs von deinen freien Projekten?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Jedes Bild – egal ob Portrait, Modekampagne oder auch Hochzeit – trägt in gewisser Weise meine Handschrift bzw. ist durch meinen Stil geprägt und soll elegant, zeitlos aber auch authentisch wirken. Bei Jobs hast du natürlich viel mehr Vorgaben als bei freien Projekten, wo du mehr ausprobieren und experimenteller fotografieren kannst. Bei Jobs wo es um ein Produkt geht, steht dieses natürlich auch im Mittelpunkt und muss gut erkennbar sein. Aber ich würde nicht sagen, dass sie vom Stil besonders unterschiedlich sind. </p>

  8592.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wann ist ein Bild gelungen bzw. wann bist du damit zufrieden?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Eine schwierige Frage. Wenn ich mehrere tausend Bilder von einem Shoot ansehe, weiß ich sofort, welche davon gut sind. Aber ich bin ehrlich gesagt selten „zufrieden“. Ich bin sehr selbstkritisch und denke immer, dass ich vielleicht noch mehr hätte herausholen können. Ich nenne das immer meine&nbsp; „Foto-FOMO“ – die Angst davor, etwas Gutes nicht fotografiert zu haben.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wann sind deine Kunden mit den Bildern zufrieden?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Ich kläre immer ganz genau im Vorfeld, was die Erwartungshaltung des Kunden ist, ich erstelle Moodboards und führe Vorgspräche. Das Ziel ist wirklich ein Gefühl davon zu bekommen, was der Kunde sich wünscht und was genau ihm wichtig ist und somit eine gemeinsame Vision zu schaffen. Ich möchte lieber im Vorfeld gut planen und kommunizieren, als im Nachhinein etwas abzuliefern, was nicht den Anforderungen entspricht. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Deine Bilder wirken auf mich, als würdest du überwiegend das natürliche Licht der jeweiligen Tageszeit nutzen. Ist diese Wahrnehmung richtig? Kannst du beschreiben, wie du mit Licht umgehst?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Am allerliebsten benutze ich natürliches Licht, da es einfach am schönsten auf Bildern wirkt. Ein Shooting im Sommer bei praller Mittagssonne ist jetzt aufgrund der Härte des Lichts nicht optimal, aber es findet sich immer eine schattige Ecke oder es kommt im richtigen Moment eine Wolke. Die Golden Hour ist da natürlich klar, mein Favorit auch wolkige Tage mag ich sehr. Wenn ich indoor shoote nutze ich auch am liebsten das Fensterlicht. Allerdings finde ich es wichtig, als Fotografin auch in der Lage zu sein, mit Kunstlicht zu arbeiten, da man nie sicher weiß, wie das Licht am Tag des Shoots ist. Wenn es an dem Tag einfach zu dunkel ist, helfe ich gern auch ein bisschen mit meinem Rollei Stablicht nach. Für manche Konzepte Indoor oder im Studio benutze ich super gern auch Blitze oder Dauerlicht. Gerade wenn es um Beauty- oder auch Produktfotografie geht, z.B. wenn das Parfüm und Gesicht oder Schmuck und Gesicht beides scharf sein soll und die Blende bei 10 ist geht es oft nicht anders. Ich habe immer, egal welches Shoot ein komplettes Licht Setup dabei, falls ich es brauche. Sonst liebe ich es auch mit Aufsteckblitz zu fotografieren. Das gibt oft einen super interessanten Look. </p>

  8712.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Achtest du bewusst bei der Bildgestaltung auf das Licht oder gehst du eher intuitiv vor? </p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Ich würde sagen je mehr man fotografiert, desto besser lernt man das Licht zu lesen. Ich finde, es ist fast die wichtigste Komponente für ein gelungenes Bild. Es ist wie eine Berufskrankheit, egal wo du bist, überall siehst du Shooting Locations und Licht. Also ja, Licht ist unglaublich wichtig für ein gelungenes Bild und ich achte definitiv sehr bewusst darauf. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Hast du generelle Gestaltungsgrundsätze?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Es gibt sicher Elemente oder Posen, die ich gerne verwende, aber ich kann nicht wirklich von Gestaltungsgrundsätzen sprechen. Ich benutze während eines Shoots gerne verschiedene Objektive und achte darauf, Ganzkörperbilder, halbnahe Bilder und Portraits zu machen sowie verschiedene Winkel auszuprobieren. Ich möchte gerne, dass eine Strecke abwechslungsreich ist. Auch fotografiere ich sehr viel mehr hochkant als quer.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie läuft bei dir ein Fotoshooting ab? Welche Freiheiten hat das Model bzw. wie direktiv bist du? </p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Ich finde eine der wichtigsten Fähigkeiten, als Fotograf ist es, ein Gespür dafür zu haben, wann du etwas sagen musst und wann du das Model einfach machen lassen kannst. Manche Models bieten so großartige Sachen an, weil sie ihre eigene Vision haben. Da lasse ich sie oft machen und gebe nur kleine Anweisungen wie „schau nochmal nach rechts“ oder „bleib so“, „geh dir nochmal durch die Haare“. So entstehen ganz tolle interessante Sachen, die super echt und authentisch oder sogar total verrückt sind. Wenn das Model Ideen hat, finde ich es schön, diese mit einzubeziehen, weil das Bild dann auch mehr zum Model passt. Wenn ich jedoch jemanden vor der Kamera habe, der unsicherer und unerfahrener ist, bin ich sofort da und leite etwas mehr durch das Shooting. Es ist mir super wichtig, dass die Person vor der Kamera sich zu jeder Zeit wohl und sicher fühlt und mir vertraut, dass ich sie gut aussehen lasse. Wenn das Shooting für einen Job ist, dann gibt es natürlich etwas mehr Vorgaben, aber auch hier ist es ein Zusammenspiel.</p>

  8835.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie kommst du mit den Models bei deinen Jobs zusammen?&nbsp; Gibt es da einen Unterschied zu den freien Projekten? </p><p class="">Jeder kann mich buchen und ich freue mich, egal ob Model oder nicht. Da ich hauptberuflich Fotografin bin, mache ich freie Projekte nur in sehr seltenen Fällen und nur fürs Portfolio oder Instagram, wenn ich etwas unbedingt umsetzen möchte und gerade etwas Luft habe. Ich fahre gerne auf „Content Reisen", hier sind wir dann eine Gruppe Fotografen &amp; Models und shooten in der Zeit an traumhaften Orten, mit tollen Menschen. Meistens entsteht der Kontakt über Instagram. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie wichtig ist dir dabei Schönheit im gängigen Sinne, sowohl beim Model als auch im finalen Bild? </p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: I</strong>ch sehe in jedem Menschen und in jeder Situation Emotionen und Schönheit und versuche jeden Menschen und jeden Moment in der schönst möglichen Weise festzuhalten und das Bild trotzdem authentisch wirken zu lassen. Ich retuschiere auch im Nachhinein die Haut oder die Umgebung, allerdings achte ich immer darauf, Charakteristiken zu behalten, die das Model oder die Umgebung ausmachen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong>  Kannst du bitte noch etwas zu den Locations sagen? </p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Locations sind für mich immer der schwierigste Teil, da ich immer versuche, neue Locations für meine Shoots zu finden. Ich möchte gerne immer neue Konzepte und Abwechslung ausprobieren und da spielt die Location definitiv eine wichtige Rolle. Im Sommer ist immer etwas mehr Auswahl und ich shoote gerne draußen, weil hier das Licht auch ganz anders ist, gerade gegen Sonnenuntergang. Bei Indoor Locations shoote ich gerne in verschiedenen Studios oder auch in Hotels oder suche über Portale wie Homemade Studio. </p>

  8955.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Kommen wir kurz zur Technik: Mit welcher Kamera und welchem Objektiv fotografierst du am meisten?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Ich fotografiere mit zwei Sony Alpha 7 III, dabei wechsle ich bei Portraits immer zwischen Sony 85 1.8, Sony/Zeiss 55 1.8 und Sigma Art 35 1.4. Wenn ich Hochzeiten fotografiere oder blitze benutze ich auch gerne das Tamron 28-75 2.8.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong>  Wie sieht dein Workflow aus? </p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Ich speichere meine Bilder immer auf zwei Speicherkarten, solange das Projekt nicht in meinem Fotoauslieferungs-Programm Pic-Time hochgeladen und fertig bearbeitet ist, bleibt es auch auf einer Speicherkarte als Backup. Nach dem Shoot lade ich aber alle Rawdateien auf meinen Server. Von da aus erfolgt dann die Bildauswahl in Narrative-Select und dann die Bildbearbeitung in Lightroom, Fine Tuning passiert in Photoshop. Um die Bilder dann zum Download zur Verfügung zu stellen, benutze ich die Online Galerie von Pic-Time. Meine gesamte andere Organisation wie Kundenmanagement, Aufträge, Finanzen usw. findet in Notion statt. Moodboards mache ich super gerne mit Mila Note.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Welche Fotografen und Models inspirieren dich? </p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Bei der Frage möchte ich nochmal auf Instagram eingehen. Jeder verflucht Instagram ab und an mal, wegen des Drucks ständig neue Strecken abliefern zu müssen usw. Ich muss aber sagen, dass es mich und meine Fotografie so unglaublich pusht immer weiter kreativ zu sein, weil man so inspirierenden Content angezeigt bekommt. Durch Instagram habe ich ganz großartige Fotografen und Models kennengelernt, die mittlerweile sehr gute Freunde sind. Wir inspirieren und unterstützen uns alle gegenseitig, lernen voneinander und tauschen uns aus. Daher inspirieren mich sehr auch die Fotografen in meinem Umfeld wie Rico Reinhold, Thomas Albert, Lena Hogekamp oder Luise Blumenstengel. Was Hochzeitsreportagen angeht, liebe ich Katarina Fedora und auch sonst bin ich absoluter Fan von Nicolas Fols, Mehran Djojan, Kai Böttcher, Xenia Lau … die Liste ist endlos lang. Eine sehr besondere Inspiration was Models angeht ist für mich Wolfishglow, mit der ich viele tolle Strecken schon geshootet habe und die auch eine sehr gute Freundin geworden ist, mit der ich mich ständig austausche. Inspiration finde ich aber tatsächlich in allen Models, mit denen ich shoote, denn sie alle haben ihren besonderen Stil und eine eigene Vision.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Mit welchem Model möchtest du unbedingt mal shooten?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Anya Taylor Joy oder Angelina Michelle wäre mein absoluter Traum.</p>

  9078.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie bereitest du dich auf ein Shooting vor? Und kommunizierst du vor dem Shooting gegenüber deinem Model eine Idee oder erstellst Moodboards?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Ich shoote eigentlich immer mit einem Konzept, bei Jobs sowieso und auch wenn ich freie Shoots mache, plane ich vorher lieber etwas mehr. Es gibt fast immer ein Moodboard, vor allem da ich wie gesagt nicht mehr so viel Kapazität für freie Projekte habe und dann wirklich etwas Konkretes umsetzen möchte, was mehr Vorbereitung bedarf. Gerne organisiere ich auch jemanden für Haare &amp; Make-up oder Styling. Bei Jobs ist ein Moodboard sowieso sinnvoll für mich, um Ideen zu visualisieren und mit dem Kunden besprechen zu können. Während des Shoots lasse ich mich jedoch trotzdem total treiben und reagiere gerne spontan auf die Location oder Situationen oder Umstände. Die besten Sets entstehen meist aus einer spontanen Idee oder Gegebenheit.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Social Media ist natürlich für den Erfolg deiner Influencer-Kunden wichtig und damit auch für dich. Wie nutzt du Social Media bzw. was ist deine Social Media Strategie?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Viele meiner Kunden kommen über Instagram, daher ist es für mich eine sehr wichtige Plattform. Ich versuche dort mindestens alle zwei Tage eine neue Strecke hochzuladen und auch etwas Einblick in Shoots und Privates zu geben. Ich stehe lieber hinter der Kamera, daher ist es eher eine Überwindung, auch mal mich zu zeigen. Aber mir ist wichtig, dass potenzielle Kunden sich einen Eindruck von mir und meiner Arbeit machen können. Außerdem liebe ich den Austausch und das direkte Feedback über Instagram. Dadurch, dass ich regelmäßig dort poste, habe ich den positiven Druck, kreativ zu sein und Shootings zu planen.</p>

  9201.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie lange ist die Fotografie bereits dein Hauptjob?&nbsp; Was hattest du vorher gemacht oder gelernt?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Ich fotografiere jetzt seit zwei Jahren hauptberuflich. Ich habe ursprünglich Modedesign studiert und danach auch vier Jahre in einem Modeunternehmen gearbeitet. Dort habe ich viel zum Thema Ästhetik und Stil mitnehmen können. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie und wann bist du eigentlich zur Fotografie gekommen? Und wie hast du dein fotografisches Wissen erworben?</p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Ich habe gefühlt immer schon fotografiert, mein Opa war sehr Fotografie verrückt und hat mir viel gezeigt, wodurch ich mich schon früh dafür begeistert habe. Während meines Modedesign-Studiums war Fotografie auch ein wichtiger Bestandteil. Ich mochte es eigentlich immer lieber meine Kollektionen zu fotografieren, als sie zu entwerfen. Danach habe ich vier Jahre in der Modebranche gearbeitet und war in dem Rahmen auch verantwortlich für Fotos und Bildsprache. Ich habe auch immer selbstständig viel ausprobiert und mich viel mit Online-Kursen, YouTube und Podcasts weitergebildet. Irgendwann war klar, dass es für mich nur diesen einen Weg gibt und dass ich „all in“ gehen möchte. Ich bin so glücklich damit und möchte nie wieder etwas anderes machen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Was machst du in deiner Freizeit gerne, wenn du nicht fotografierst?  </p><p class=""><strong>Vanessa Wunsch: </strong>Mir geht’s da wie vielen Solo-Selbstständigen, da ich meine Leidenschaft zum Beruf gemacht habe, ist die Trennung von Freizeit und Beruf sehr schwer, da ich mich in meiner „Freizeit“ auch viel mit Fotografie oder Fortbildung beschäftige. Ansonsten verbringe ich meine Freizeit so gut wie komplett mit meiner Familie und Freunden. Außerdem habe ich zusammen mit meinem Freund einen Camper Van ausgebaut, mit dem wir sehr gerne zusammen mit unserem Mops reisen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Vanessa, danke für das Gespräch und weiterhin viel Erfolg!<br><br><br></p><p class=""><em>Vanessa ist erreichbar auf ihrer </em><a href="https://vanessa-wunsch.com" target="_blank"><span><em>Website</em></span></a><em> sowie auf </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/vawunsch/" target="_blank"><span><em>Instagram</em></span></a><em>.

Could you tell me more about your photographic intentions? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>I wouldn’t call it intention, I don’t think there is such thing in my photography. Maybe there is a search... Searching for what? Definitely beauty, but not only in my models and their body language, also the beauty of the light, the angle, the composition I choose, the environment and atmosphere the models are in . There is also a search of the unusual, of the contradictions, the surprise, the provocation. In one concept: a search and research of the emotions. </p>

  9482.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>In addition to the visible perception of beauty and sensuality, do you have a general message that you would like to convey with your work? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>No. Or maybe yes... Be free!! </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you create the idea of a shoot or an image? Do you work more intuitive or do you plan your work? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>I plan to a certain extent, where I’m travelling to, the model I’m working with, maybe a possible wardrobe at times (no pun intended). Other than that I try to give space for things to come naturally, I am happy to improvise and take things as they come. I like to turn a very casual moment of the day into something that will transcend through an image. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> How much preparation or conception is required in the run-up to a shoot? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>Here too, it depends. There are shoots that do require days of organisation, permits, tests, traveling, makeup, etc.. with a concrete concept in mind, wanting my photos to be telling a specific story. Something that begins in my imagination. Even in these cases i give space to improvisation, i let the models feel comfortable and powerful within the environment. I let myself be surprised by the life around me. I think this is my favourite way to shoot </p>

  9605.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How can I imagine a shoot with you, i.e. how do you choose the location, how long does a shoot, take, what is the interaction with the model like? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>Choosing a location sometimes happens through everyday conversations with friends or family, other times there are places i have brewing in the back of my mind. Regarding the interaction with the model, it is never the same. The style and personality of each model sets the pace. It is like a dialogue that evolves between the model and the camera, we move, we talk, we try and we play. When something feels right we stay a bit longer. The shoot will go on while the energy is high and as long as the magic is happening. Never any pressure, mostly just having fun. If its not working that is also fine, i’m always ready to move on </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you find the people who come in front of your camera and what are their motives for participating in your pictures? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>I usually receive offers for collaboration. Models today are directly connected with professional photographers through the social media, they know our work and often they take the initiative of the first contact. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What is a good picture? When are you happy with your work? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>A good photograph is one that catches the eye, excites emotion and, hopefully, leaves a strong imprint in the viewer's visual memory. It has taken a few years, But I now instinctively know when I have taken a good one, or two, maybe more..? The shutter goes off and I get that feeling. I suppose it has to do with my own retina and a pleasurable sensation I feel when I capture an image that appeals to me. </p>

  9728.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Do you photograph subjects other than beautiful young women? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>Sure I do. Always depends on the moment, but I have done some street photography, certainly I enjoy it. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>As far as I know, many images were taken in a Mediterranean setting with sunlight. Can you explain how you deal with light? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>Sure, sunlight in general is going to do its thing, so I certainly don't try and control it, I can’t remember the last time a set up lights for a shoot. Probably never. The challenge of working with the sharp light that we have here in the Mediterranean has become part of the aesthetic and something I enjoy. Technically speaking I will occasionally use a negative fill, maybe a soft bounce. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Let's get to the technical side of your art: Which camera and which two lenses are you using mostly? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis:</strong> Fuji GFX 100 Lenses 63mm and 23mm. </p>

  9851.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What does your workflow look like after the shoot? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>A glass of wine and maybe 10 minutes retouching. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What do you want to achieve as a photographer in the next few years? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>To continue doing what i’m doing. I hope my work will continue to reach the public. I will be planning my own exhibitions around the world. I am already already working in a new printed book. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Let's get to yourself. How did you get into photography? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>Since very young I enjoyed taking photos of my friends and I would keep the prints in an album, still not knowing that it could have any meaning into my own professional future. Later on, as a student in the early 80’s I lived in Paris. Culture, art and beauty where everywhere! I loved being close to fashion, giving me the opportunity to work with some models. It still took many years until I could finally put photography in the first place of my priorities. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Is photography your main professional activity? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>Yes, it is my main activity. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What do you like to do privately when you are not taking photos? </p><p class=""><strong>Vassilis Pitoulis: </strong>I love sailing. I also enjoy spending time with my good friends and my family, maybe with a glass of wine, hopefully with a good dinner and lots of laughter. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Vassilis, thank you for the interview.<strong> </strong></p><p class=""><br></p><p class=""><em>Vassilis can be reached on </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/vassilispitoulisphotography/" target="_blank"><em>Instagram</em></a><em>.

Es sieht nach Entspanntheit und einem guten Vertrauensverhältnis zu dir als Fotografin aus. Ist dieser Eindruck richtig und wie wichtig ist dir, die Natürlichkeit und Schönheit deiner Models? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Es freut mich, dass dir das aufgefallen ist. Ja, für mich ist die Natürlichkeit und die Persönlichkeit meiner Models sehr wichtig, denn genau das möchte ich auf meinen Portraits darstellen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Wie würdest du deinen fotografischen Stil Jemanden beschreiben, der deine Bilder nicht sieht? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Das ist eine sehr interessante Frage! Meine Portraits würde ich als malerische und minimalistische Darstellung interessanter Menschen beschreiben. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie erreichst Du die natürliche und vertraute Stimmung deiner Portraits? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Ich versuche meine Models unverfälscht darzustellen. Dafür nutze ich nur das natürlich vorhandene Licht. Ich selber trage auch z.B. nie Make up und bin ein sehr natürlicher Mensch. Ich fotografiere nur in dem Stil, mit dem ich mich selbst identifizieren kann. Dazu ist es mir wichtig über Gespräche eine persönliche Ebene zu meinen Models aufzubauen. Ich möchte hinter die Person blicken, etwas über die Person erfahren, die ich ablichte und nicht nur eine „Hülle“fotografieren. </p>

  10362.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Deinen Bildern sieht man tatsächlich an, dass du das natürliche Licht nutzt und lieber Schatten als Helligkeit akzeptierst. Kannst du beschreiben, wie du mit dem natürlichen Licht umgehst? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz: </strong>Ja, ich bevorzuge eher weniger Licht als mehr. Daher bevorzuge ich auch das „Winterlicht“. Ich mag die winterliche „Ruhe“ und das Düstere. Ich mag das direkte Sonnenlicht nicht. Du wirst nie ein Bild von mir sehen auf dem die Sonne scheint, da ich und die Sonne keine Freunde sind. Ich mag das Kühle und das gilt auch für Farben. Allerdings ist mir das Zusammenspiel von Licht und Schatten wichtig. Ich finden es spannend mit dem Licht und den Kontrasten zu spielen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Achtest du bei der Bildgestaltung bewusst auf das Licht oder gehst du eher intuitiv vor? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Es ist eine Mischung aus beidem. Zum Beispiel plane ich im Sommer die Shootings meistens Vormittags, da die Sonne zu der Zeit noch nicht so hoch steht. Es ist allerdings auch immer ein gewisser intuitiver Anteil vorhanden, allein schon damit ich flexibel sein kann. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Wie läuft bei dir ein Fotoshooting ab? Welche Freiheiten hat das Model bzw. wie direktiv bist du? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Zunächst ist mir das persönliche Kennenlernen meines Gegenübers wichtig. Idealerweise entsteht so eine gute und lockere Stimmung.<br> Meist bin ich zunächst nicht besonders direktiv und beobachte die natürlichen Bewegungen des Models. Dabei entstehen die Ideen, die wir dann gemeinsam ausbauen. Meine Shootings dauern ungefähr zwei Stunden.</p>

Wonach suchst du sie aus bzw. wann ist ein Mensch als Model interessant für Dich? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Es ist eine Mischung aus Anschreiben und Angeschrieben werden. Dafür nutze ich hauptsächlich Instagram. Für mich ist ein Model dann interessant, wenn ich es mir im Stil meiner Bilder vorstellen kann. Es muss also zu meinem Stil passen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Christine, wie wichtig ist dir dabei Schönheit im gängigen Sinne sowohl beim Model als auch im finalen Bild? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Schönheit ist ein relativer Begriff und bedeutet für jeden etwas anderes. So empfinde ich beispielsweise Sommersprossen als schön, was aktuell auch ein gängiges Schönheitsideal ist. Dennoch wähle ich meine Models nach meinen subjektiven Idealen aus. </p>

Gibt es Models, mit denen Du „überall“ shooten würdest? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Für mich ist die Location ein wesentlicher Bestandteil meiner Bilder. Früher habe ich auch des Öfteren draußen fotografiert, dabei hat sich für mich aber schnell gezeigt, dass Homeshootings meine Leidenschaft sind.<br> Nein, nicht überall, eher jederzeit, denn meine Portraits funktionieren für mich eben nicht überall. </p>

Dabei ist es mir aber wichtig mit Erotik eher zurückhaltend als aufdringlich umzugehen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wann ist ein Bild gelungen bzw. wann bist du damit zufrieden? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Wenn ich die Bilder nach den Shootings durchschaue, gibt es diese Momente, in denen ich ganz intuitiv anhalte und verweile, dann weiß ich, dass das Bild für mich gelungen ist. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Kommen wir kurz zur Technik: Mit welcher Kamera und welchem Objektiv fotografierst du am meisten? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Ich nutze eine Canon 5D Mark 4 mit einem 50mm Objektiv. In Zukunft werde ich allerdings zu einer Leica wechseln. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Wie sieht dein Workflow aus? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Ich glaube, da gehe ich einen recht üblichen Weg:<br> Bilder durchschauen, Favoriten markieren und Nachbearbeitung mit Photoshop. Eventuell Helligkeit &amp; Kontraste justieren, keine Retusche. </p>

Bei den Models sind es tatsächlich zu viele und es fällt mir zu schwer eine Auswahl zu treffen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Mit welchem Model möchtest du unbedingt mal shooten? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz: </strong>Stefanie Giesinger (lacht). </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Was unterscheidet einen gutes von einem weniger guten Model aus deiner Sicht? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Das kann ich nur für meine Portraits beurteilen: Für mich ist ein Model dann „gut“, wenn wir es schaffen, einen persönlichen Zugang zueinander zu finden, damit die Portraits Natürlichkeit und Echtheit ausstrahlen. </p>

  10910.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Wie sollten sich Fotografen gegenüber Models verhalten, um gute Bildergebnisse zu erzielen? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz: </strong>Auf jeden Fall respektvoll, denn Kreativität lässt sich nicht erzwingen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie bereitest Du Dich auf ein Shooting vor? Und kommunizierst du vor dem Shooting gegenüber deinem Model eine Idee? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Das Kommunizieren von Ideen ist ein wichtiger Punkt. Das sieht dann meistens so aus, dass wir Moods austauschen und so die Ideen für das Shooting entstehen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Kannst du dich an ein lustigstes Erlebnis bei einem Shooting erinnern? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz: </strong>Das ist jetzt grade die selbe Situation wie wenn jemand sagt: „Erzähl mal einen guten Witz!“. Mir fällt dann leider in solchen Moment nichts ein, obwohl es da sicher zahlreiche Momente gegeben hat. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Die Fotografie ist nicht dein Job, hattest du mir mal gesagt. Ist sie eine reine Passion oder bereits ein Nebenerwerb? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz: </strong>Meine Portraits waren und werden immer meine Leidenschaft sein. Aktuell habe ich mich dafür entschieden, die Fotografie nebenberuflich zu betreiben, da sich Kreativität und Druck nicht gut vertragen. </p>

  11030.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Und im Rahmen deiner nebenberuflichen Tätigkeit wirst du, z.B. für Sedcardshootings gebucht oder wenn die Menschen Portraits für andere Zwecke haben möchten? Oder machst du überwiegend bei TfP-Shootings?</p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Das ist ganz verschieden. Ich bekomme viele Aufträge für Schauspielerportraits, aber auch für private Portraitaufnahmen. Die verbliebene Zeit fülle ich dann gerne mit TFP-Portraits auf.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie wichtig ist Social Media für deinen Erfolg und deine Inspiration? Was nutzt du? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Was mich an Social Media begeistert, ist die Reichweite. Dabei spielen beide Richtungen für mich eine bedeutende Rolle. Zum einen finde ich Inspiration, die ich wahrscheinlich so auf einem anderen Weg nicht gefunden hätte und zum anderen können gleichermaßen Menschen auch meine Portraits finden. Hauptsächlich nutze ich Instagram. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Fotografierst du auch etwas anderes oder bist du auf Frauenportraits fokussiert? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Mein Fokus liegt tatsächlich klar auf Frauenportraits. Für mich funktioniert das in meinen Portraits besser. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie und wann bist du eigentlich zur Fotografie gekommen? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz:</strong> Das liegt schon gut und gerne 20 Jahre zurück. Der damalige Freund meiner besten Freundin hatte Fotografie studiert und ich war einfach fasziniert von seiner Kamera. Ich habe direkt gemerkt, dass ich fotografieren muss und angefangen, für meine erste Kamera zu sparen. Als ich sie dann endlich hatte, habe ich sie immer dabei gehabt und alles fotografiert, was mir in den Sinn kam. Dann habe ich allerdings recht schnell gemerkt, dass ich gerne Menschen fotografiere, ja regelrecht ihre Gesichter auf zum Beispiel Landschaftsbildern vermisst habe. Somit bin ich bei der Portrait-Fotografie angekommen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Was machst Du in Deiner Freizeit gern, wenn du nicht fotografierst? </p><p class=""><strong>Christine Bongartz: </strong>Genießen. Das kann ich am Besten, beim Reisen und Essen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Dabei und auch mit der Fotografie wünsche ich dir weiterhin viel Freude.<br></p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p><p class=""><em>Christine ist erreichbar auf </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/fotografiene/" target="_blank"><em>Instagram</em></a><em>.

  11188.  <p class=""><br></p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Renée, when we talked recently in Paris after your exhibition, I was very impressed by the expression of your photos, on the one hand classical and on the other progressive. Can you relate to this interpretation? And how would you describe your work?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>This is a great question because it gets to the heart of what I’m trying to achieve and the intellectual tension of erotic photography to me — Can you present pure, authentic sexual desire within the framework of a classically beautiful photograph? That I suppose is at the heart of what I want to achieve. A beautiful photograph makes the heart ache and the mind explode. A good photographer does that by design, by taking the viewer’s eye through a photograph with the use of composition and light. Same with the impact of desire on the heart and the mind. I reject the idea that you can’t combine the two. In the Introduction to my PARIS book, John Wood wrote about the difference between pornography and great erotic photography in that the latter invites repeated viewing to discover more. That’s the point about not abandoning classical principles of making a good photo simply because your subject matter is desire.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Can you describe to a recipient who doesn’t know or see your images what feeling your images are meant to convey? </p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>My images aren’t meant to convey anything. I’m not making them for the viewers. I’m making them for the women in the photographs and for myself. Nothing else matters.</p>

  11311.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>You also make the pictures for the women in front of your camera, you say. Can you outline it a bit?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>Most of my photographs come from asking the women in my photographs what their fantasies are, what they want to explore. That’s my starting point.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Is beauty what you are looking for?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>Beauty is nice but authenticity is more important. If the woman in the photograph feels she and her desires are well represented, I’m happy. And of course all of the elements that make a compelling photograph — light, composition.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Why do you photograph people, mostly women, and not other motifs? Why nude?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>Empowering nudes of women are a radical idea in today’s world. They’re important to me in understanding myself and so many things I didn’t have access to when I was younger and to the women I photograph who want to express a certain part of themselves that society tells them they can’t.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>When are you happy with a picture? Are there some components or criteria you use often?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>My reaction to a photograph is always the same — whether it’s mine or someone else’s. It’s very binary — it’s either “Wow!” or “Why??” There’s always almost something I would slightly change in a photograph .</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Do you think that there is a specific female gaze in your images?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I think it’s important to completely reject the phrases “male gaze” and “female gaze.” I don’t find them useful anymore. I would replace them with the phrases “empowering gaze” and “disempowering gaze”.</p>

  11434.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Empowerment in the sense of empowering the person in the photo or changing society in general?&nbsp; And do you think that art photography can have a political impact and is not just decorative?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>Mostly empowering the woman in the photograph, then myself, then changing society. Society doesn’t want to be changed, particulary regarding the emancipation of women and women’s desires. It’s much simpler to elevate photos of women who are paid to fake desire (particularly for one another) in service of selling products. I absolutely think photography can and should have a political impact. But back to my earlier answer — there’s no reason to abandon the principles of good photography to do it. In fact, I really dislike photography that only strives to have a political impact. You can’t simply throw someone in front of a wall or a field and expect the fact that they’re different in some way to carry the photograph while abandoning light and composition. It’s boring.</p>

  11496.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you choose your people in front of your camera? Do you shoot with agency models or also with friends and amateur models?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I’ve never shot with an agency model, except for perhaps one time and that was with Helmut Newton’s muse Sylvia Gobbel in Paris. Although that was through a friend and it didn’t involve an agency. I prefer to call the women in my photographs co-conspirators rather than models.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Earlier I was flipping through your great Polaroid book again. It impressed me that your co-conspirators in front of your camera look relaxed, confident and also having fun without hiding sexual pleasure. How do you treat your models? Do you have a specific behaviour?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I want to hear what my models have to say, what they want to show. My behavior is dictated by them and what they want to portray.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Do you think that female photographers are different to male photographers in general?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I think both female and male photographers are capable of taking fantastic, empowering photographs of women. Conversely, both female and male photographers are capable of taking horrible, disempowering photographs of women. </p>

I’m a big believer in following the light and the mood, so preparation is useless.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you choose your locations? </p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>Locations choose me. It’s all about the light. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you deal with light? It seems that you are using ambient light but are you using also artificial light in some situations?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I almost always shoot with natural light. Artificial light doesn’t turn me on.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Renée, you are shooting also on Polaroid film, the old Type 55, isn´t it? What is the special charm of Polaroid pictures? Can’t it also be generated digitally or is the different process of taking pictures the reason?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I’ve described the Type 55 process this way — it provides a perfectly imperfect result that allows for a dreamy image that mirrors the way our fantasies exist — ephemeral, at the edge of our understanding, blurry, out of reach, not precise or perfect.</p>

  11734.                <p class="">Renée Jacobs:  I was saying goodbye to friends at a fabulous party at an apartment at the Palais Royal … I was literally saying goodbye to the entire project and all my friends at 3 am on that street. Those two women walked down the street. All my friends looked at me just assuming they were my friends coming to do photographs. Nope. Just random women walking down the street. So of course I spoke to them and asked them if I could photograph them. … Et voilà. … this is the perfect example of why I don't plan anything. </p>

  11753.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do the models or co-conspirators react when you shoot with cameras from the last century?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>Many haven’t seen it before and so many “models” these days have been programmed to over pose and twist themselves in pretzels, it sometimes takes some getting used to. But I like the fact that it makes us slow down.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Because your Polaroid type is meanwhile discontinued I hope you have a huge feedstock in storage, have you? But just in case: Would you switch to the normal and a bit smaller Polaroid format?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>Sadly, I don’t have any Type 55 in reserve. I shot my last sheet of it a few years ago here in France. I really don’t like the new Polaroid format, at least for my work. I love some of the results I see my friends getting with it but it’s too fickle for me. No real control for focus, exposure, etc. But I have used it and I think we’ll do a book of the new work. Some of the images are on offer now as a special edition with POLAROIDS.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>But you also take photos that are not on Polaroid film. Are these digital or analog photos?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I usually shoot digital these days. Shooting digital has allowed me a nice latitude with the work that I do, particularly because I adore low light.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Which camera do you use outside the world of instant film? Is there a favorite you could do all your work with?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I loathe the digital camera that I use, which is probably 10 years old now. I would be happy to change to a lighter, faster system.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What is your workflow up to the final print?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I’m not much of a technician. I don’t really have a workflow. I use a little photoshop but pretty much the way I used to make my darkroom prints — dodging, burning, not much more than that.</p>

I’m a new devotee of Marianne Breslauer. And of course,&nbsp; Mapplethorpe’s approach is inspiring — he was a participant and an example of the culture he was photographing, not just a voyeur or someone that appropriated the lives and culture of the people he photographed.&nbsp;</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How important is social media and your website for your success and inspiration?

  11938.  <p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I use Instagram and have made some wonderful connections on there. I often take social media breaks. My photos are sold the old-fashioned way — collectors, auctions, galleries, etc.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Does the growing prudery in social media and some parts of the world also affects you? Is nudity still well accepted in France?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>France is fine. Strangely, the most significant recent censorship of my work was in Spain last year in my concurrent exhibit with Helmut Newton, where the gallery censored out almost all of my same-sex images at the last minute, without my knowledge or approval and in violation of my contract. Social media prudery is tame compared to that. The censorship of that work resulted in my current exhibit at the Erotic Museum in Barcelona—“Renée Jacobs: Partisan of the Lesbian Movement”, which is up until April. The title comes from what the gallery told me in response to my protesting the misogynistic and homophobic censorship of my work. The gallerist told me that I should rethink whether I was “behaving as a photographer or as a partisan of the lesbian movement.” The exhibit is just a wonderful and delicious response to those who tell women that we shouldn’t have a voice in how we’re depicted.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>I like your pragamatism and humor in choosing the title of the exhibition. Because you mentioned the Lesbian Movement I would like to question once again whether your images are really not meant to convey anything, as you said at the beginning. I can imagine that the freedom of different sexual and non-sexual relationships in society will be advanced if people inspired by exhibitions talk more about it. </p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I’m not making the images to convey something. That doesn’t enter the equation when I’m photographing. But I can’t and I won’t retreat from the battle in advancing equality by ignoring the sheer hypocrisy and double standard when it comes to gatekeepers in the art world refusing to let women in general and lesbians in particular have a say in defining who we are.</p>

  12061.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Renée, after the interesting information about your work, I would now like to come to yourself. How did you get into photography? And what was your original profession?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>I started in photography when I was very young, in high school. By college, I was freelancing for newspapers and magazines across the US. My first book of photography came out in 1986, “Slow Burn: A Photodocument of Centralia, Pennsylvania”. From there I went to law school and practiced civil rights and constitutional litigation for 15 years.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>As far as I know, you moved to France from the US a few years ago. What was the reason? And how do you perceive the French or European photography scene compared to the US?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>Yes, my wife and I moved to France from LA at the end of 2016. I love the French and European photo scene. Every town bigger than my Citroen Berlingo has a photo festival. It’s marvelous. And of course, generally speaking, the restrictions around nudity are much less.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What is your best reason being a nude photographer?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>Because I can give myself and other women a voice in how we’re depicted. It’s time to remove the fossils of the art world that only see women in a particular way.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What are your hobbies or interests besides photography?</p><p class=""><strong>Renée Jacobs: </strong>Our area of France is absolutely stunning, although the winters are a little tougher than LA so we’re adjusting to that. But I love to hike and bike ride here. And of course traveling all around Europe has become an absolute passion.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Thank you very much for our conversation.<br></p><p class=""><em>Renée has published the illustrated books "Polaroids" and "Paris".

Ich setze mich noch immer damit auseinander und tue mich noch immer schwer diese zu definieren. Es gibt 2 Sachen, die ich mit der Fotografie bewirken möchte. Ich möchte den Modellen eine neue, oder alte, Sicht auf sich selbst geben und dem neutralen Betrachter den Spielraum bieten für eine Geschichte, ein Gefühl, eine Emotion, die dieser dann im Bild sieht oder findet. <br> Ansonsten ist es der Versuch, puristische und emotionale Fotos zu kreieren.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Bei deiner Fotografie fallen mir spontan folgende Stichworte ein: schöne Menschen, schwarzweiß, Kontraste, sattes Schwarz, unkonventionelle Schnitte. Soviel zunächst zur visuellen Seite. Wie hast du diesen Stil gefunden? </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Wie so viele Fotografen habe ich mich in vielem ausprobiert und irgendwann herausgefunden, worin ich mich und meine Fotografie sehe. Ich möchte mich in den Bildern sehen und in den letzten 20 Jahren hat sich sowohl im Thema, Bildschnitt, Perspektive und letztendlich auch die Bearbeitung am Rechner „mein Stil“ entwickelt. Die Bilder zeigen aber auch meine persönliche Entwicklung, denn in jedem Bild ist etwas von mir zu sehen. In jedem Bild muss etwas von mir zu sehen sein.</p>

  12441.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Gibt es ein übergeordnetes Thema oder verbindest du deine Fotografie mit einer bestimmten Aussage bzw. Mission?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Kein übergeordnetes Thema oder Mission. Einfach mit Menschen eine großartige Zeit verbringen und Fotos machen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wann bist du mit einem Bild zufrieden? Oder anders gefragt: Was ist ein gutes Bild?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Ein gutes Bild ist immer Definitionssache. Ich freue mich, wenn ich den Betrachter verleite, länger auf das Bild zu schauen und ihm die Möglichkeit zur Interpretation gebe. Es ist aber auch dann ein gutes Bild, wenn ich es schaffe, das Modell in dem Moment „zu sehen“ und es überzeugen kann, sich selbst „zu sehen“ und von sich zu überzeugen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wonach wählst du deine Modelle aus? Und was sind im umgekehrten Fall Ausschlusskriterien, wenn du Models ablehnst? </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Das Aussehen ist mir eigentlich egal. Jeder Mensch ist Schön. Ich brauche Ausstrahlung und Motivation. Die Chemie muss passen und das wird bereits bei der Kommunikation deutlich. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Arbeitest du mit Mood Boards?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Ja, Mood Boards sind mittlerweile ein Bestandteil. Ich nutze diese aber eher, um die Klamottenauswahl etwas zu vereinfachen und eine gewisse Stimmung und Richtung für das Shooting zu vermitteln</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie kann ich mir den Ablauf eines Shootings bei dir vorstellen? </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Ich mag es mit einem Frühstück, einem Kaffee und einem langen Gespräch zu starten. Ich möchte den Menschen kennenlernen, der mich besucht oder den ich besuche. Es können durchaus sehr intensive Gespräche stattfinden, die mehrere Stunden dauern. Es ist für mich wichtig, dass das Model nicht das Gefühl hat bei einem Shooting zu sein, sondern bei einem guten Bekannten und man nebenbei Fotos macht. Es gelingt nicht immer. Kann es auch nicht. Dafür sind wir Menschen zu unterschiedlich. Aber ich denke, ich habe ein gutes Gespür, wer Matched und wer nicht. Während des Gesprächs wird entschieden, welche Art von Fotos gemacht werden und wo. Dies ist eine gemeinsame Entscheidung. Inspiriert durch das Gespräch, durch Klamotten, Wetter, Musik und unzählige Dinge die den Tag besonders und einzigartig machen. Ich unterteile jedoch ein Shooting, gerade mit „neuen“ Modellen, in „Pflicht“ und „Kür“. Pflicht bedeutet, es werden ausschliesslich Portraits in meinem Stil gemacht. Sehr gerne reduziert auf einen dunklen Rolli, sodass der Fokus auf dem Gesicht liegt. Anschließend bin ich dann gerne Kreativ. Die kreativen Dinge entstehen aber dann aus dem Moment, der Situation, der Stimmung etc.</p>

  12593.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Kannst du bitte etwas zu deinem Umgang mit den Menschen vor deiner Kamera, sagen? Bist du im Shooting eher direktiv oder beobachtend? Können die Models das Shooting mitgestalten oder fokussierst du dich auf deinen gestalterischen Ansatz?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Es ist eine Mischung. Bei der „Pflicht“, den Portraits bin ich gerne direktiv und gebe ganz genaue Anweisungen. Bei der „Kür“ ist es ein gemeinsamer Prozess. Ich mag es dann, wenn das Modell sich mit einbringt, meine Idee fühlt und mir die Möglichkeit bietet, „das Bild zwischen den Bildern“ zu sehen. Wenn es da ist, greife ich bewusst ein, mache ein „Finetuning“ indem ich leichte Korrekturen vorschlage und erst dann wird das Bild gemacht.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie lange dauert ein Shooting meist bei dir und wieviele Bilder entstehen dabei. Wieviele suchst du dann als finale Bilder aus?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Ein Shooting kann 40 Minuten aber auch 12 Stunden dauern. Es ist aber die gesamte Zeit des Besuches. Nicht die reine Zeit die fotografiert wird. Die Menge ist abhängig von dem was aufgenommen wird. Sind es sehr statische Aufnahmen, sind es selten mehr als 100-150 Stück. Bei Aufnahmen in der Bewegung werden es dann auch mal 300-400 Bilder. Ich suche selber aus, gebe aber auch dem Model Mitbestimmungsrecht, sodass am Ende mal schnell 80 Fotos in der Auswahl stehen</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wann ist ein Model oder ein Thema so interessant, dass du eine Shootingreise mit Model machst? Als wir neulich sprachen warst du kurz vorher in Holland, oder?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Der Trip in Holland war mit Ines &amp; Miro. Also ein Paarshoot und es erschien mir am günstigsten dort zu shooten. Eine Shootingreise kann ich mir nur mit einem Modell vorstellen, welches ich bereits kenne. Ausgesucht wird dann in Abhängigkeit der Location und der dortigen Ideen. Aber auch on Location möchte ich von dem Moment, von der Person inspiriert werden können.</p>

  12716.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie kommst du zu deinen Models? Hast du schon mal für ein Modelshooting bezahlt?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler: </strong>Es hat sich mit der Zeit so entwickelt, dass fast alle Modelle über Instagram gefunden werden bzw. ich gefunden werde. Ganz wenige, die sich per Mail bewerben. Noch seltener, dass ich Menschen auf der Strasse anspreche. Ich habe bisher noch nicht für ein Modelshooting bezahlt. Ich beteilige mich aber an Fahrt- oder Übernachtungskosten, sollten diese anfallen </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Kannst du bitte etwas zu deinem Umgang mit Licht sagen? Gestalterisch und ob du auch künstliches Licht verwendest.</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Vor 20 Jahren habe ich mit künstlichem Licht begonnen. Ich habe 3 Blitzköpfe exzessiv genutzt. Mit diversen Blitzformen. Ich habe aber immer mehr für mich gemerkt, dass ich zu eingeschränkt war und habe mich immer mehr mit natürlichem Licht auseinandergesetzt. Das erkennen, sehen und lesen von Licht ist essentiell. Aktuell entstehen 99% aller Bilder ohne jegliche Hilfsmittel. Nur ganz selten nutze ich ein LED zur Unterstützung. Wichtig ist, das Licht lesen und sehen zu können. Bei mir ist es mittlerweile intuitiv. Ich denke nicht mehr darüber nach sondern sehe die Möglichkeiten sofort. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Deine fotografische Welt ist überwiegend schwarz-weiß. Und dabei dominiert oft sattes Schwarz. Warum eigentlich?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler: </strong>Ich bearbeite grundsätzlich immer in Farbe UND schwarz-weiß. Auch die Voransicht auf der Kamera ist mittlerweile SW. Ich werde nicht durch Farben abgelenkt. Deswegen auch sehr wenige Outfits mit Muster. Ich möchte, so gut es geht, auf das Gesicht fokussieren…und wenn ich mich entscheiden muss zwischen Farbe oder SW entscheide ich mich zu 90% für die SW Variante des Bildes. Ist es immer ein sattes SW? Ich kann es dir gar nicht richtig beschreiben, warum es so ist. Ich denke der Workflow, das Gefühl und die Stimmung bei der Bearbeitung sind da entscheidend. </p>

  12839.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Deine Bilder sind manchmal sehr eng beschnitten und manchmal gibt es viel negativen Raum. Spannend sind sie bei dir ja immer. Kannst du bitte etwas zu deiner Bildgestaltung sagen? Mich interessiert auch, ob du Gestaltungsregeln anwendest oder eher intuitiv arbeitest.</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler: </strong>Der Schnitt entsteht ja bereits in der Kamera und ich denke da nicht an Regeln sondern an mein Gefühl, während ich durch den Sucher schaue. Manchmal braucht es ein paar Sekunden bis ich den Schnitt gefunden habe der sich „gut anfühlt“. Habe ich dieses Gefühl nicht, mache ich kein Bild. Manchmal benötigt es einen sehr knappen, engen Schnitt um ein Gefühl in den Vordergrund zu bringen oder zu betonen, manchmal braucht es aber auch Raum, Luft um „Atmen“ zu können in der Hoffnung dann das Gefühl zu vermitteln oder das es sich beim Betrachter entfaltet. Aber es sind keine spezifischen Regeln.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Ich möchte kurz auf die Technik kommen: Mit welcher Kamera und welchem Objektiven fotografierst du?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Aktuell arbeite ich mit der Sony Alpha 7M3. Zu 98% mit dem Sigma 85mm 1.4 DG DN.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Du sagtest vorhin, dass in deinen Shootings 100-400 Bilder entstehen. Wie bzw. wonach machst du die Bildauswahl? Welchen Einfluss hat dabei das Model? </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler: </strong>Man hat ja schon bereits während des Shoots ein Gefühl für die Fotos, für deine Favoriten. Da ich die Bilder auch immer gerne direkt dem Model zeige, bekomme ich auch so ein gutes Gefühl welche Fotos ihr/ihm zusagen. Diese bearbeite ich dann meist unmittelbar nach dem Shooting. Um dann etwas die Emotionen des Shootings aus der Bildauswahl rauszuhalten, lasse ich dann die Bilder ein paar Tage „reifen“ und entdecke dann neue Schätze, die dann bearbeitet werden. Das Model bekommt alle (!) Rohdaten und sucht sich ihre Favoriten aus. Es gibt da keine Begrenzung. Aus dieser Auswahl bearbeite ich dann meine Favoriten, was in der Regel 80% der gewählten Bilder sind. Gezeigt bzw. Veröffentlicht wird nur das, was vom Modell freigegeben wird. Das ist Vertrauenssache und mir enorm wichtig</p>

  12959.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Nach der Auswahl folgt die Bildbearbeitung. Wie kann ich mir das bei dir vorstellen?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler: </strong>Ich bin ein fauler Sack. Deswegen habe ich den Anspruch, die Bilder in der Kamera schon fast fertig zu haben. Am Rechner gehen die Bilder durch Lightroom, wo ggf. der Weißabgleich korrigiert wird, Linien ausgerichtet und vielleicht doch die Belichtung noch etwas angepasst wird. Das dauert meist keine 15 Sekunden. Dann werden die Bilder in Photoshop geöffnet, wo ich temporäre Hautunreinheiten beseitige. Es wird keine Hautretusche gemacht. Ich habe irgendwann mal eine Aktion erstellt, die etwas die Farbe und die Kontraste intensiviert. Diese wird ausgeführt und dann gehen die Bilder weiter in den Silver Efex Pro Filter, wo die SW Umwandlung erfolgt. Ich liebe diesen Filter, da er mir großartige Möglichkeiten bietet zum feinen aber wirkungsvollen Variieren mit den Kontrasten. Das Bild geht dann zurück in PS, wo die Speicherung als PSD, großes und kleines JPG stattfindet. Das ganze dauert in der Regel keine 5 Minuten pro Bild.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Stefan, ich würde gern auf deine fotografischen Subjekte kommen. Warum fotografierst du Menschen und nicht vornehmlich Schmetterlinge oder Landschaften?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Es ist die Konversation und das direkte Feedback. Ich finde es spannend, neue Menschen zu treffen und diese fotografieren zu dürfen. Ich finde es bereichernd, Menschen durch die entstandenen Fotos zu einem stärkeren/geänderten Selbstwertgefühl zu verhelfen. Ich empfinde auch, dass es meine Verantwortung ist, diesen Menschen zu zeigen, wie großartig sie sind. Die Reaktion eines Menschen, der sich, ohne jegliche Filter, auf dem Kameradisplay sieht und beginnt zu strahlen ist unbezahlbar. Diese Reaktion kann mir nur ein Mensch geben.&nbsp; Schmetterlinge bzw. Naturfotos habe ich vor Jahren mal gemacht, was durchaus spannend ist. Zu meinen Anfängen habe ich durch Hundesportfotos mein Equipment verdient. Landschaft ist mal spannend, wenn du an wirklich spannenden Locations bist. Aber da reicht mir meist mein Handy um dies Fotografisch festzuhalten. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Neben bekleideten Menschen fotografierst du zunehmend Akt, hattest du mir neulich gesagt, Was macht den Reiz aus?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler: </strong>Es ist der Versuch und mein Bestreben, Nacktheit nicht nackt aussehen zu lassen. Das Gesicht und der Ausdruck wird immer im Fokus stehen und die „Nacktheit“ findet im Gesicht, in den Augen und nicht am Körper statt. Es sind also eher ausgezogene Portraits. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Wo kommt deine Kreativität her bzw. was inspiriert dich?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Es ist der Moment, der mich inspiriert. Es können Locations, Outfits oder spontane Bewegungen sein. Etwas Unterstützung hole ich mir durch Bildbände von diversen Künstlern sowie einschlägigen Plattformen</p>

  13082.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Kannst du mir zwei Lieblingsfotografen und zwei Lieblingsmodels nennen?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> 2 Fotografen, die ich sehr verehre, sind Andreas Bitesnich und Herb Ritts. Lieblingsmodelle als solches weniger. Es gibt eine Handvoll Modelle, bei denen das Vertrauen und Verständnis für meine Bildsprache entsprechend ausgeprägt ist. Aber ich würde keins der Modelle herausheben wollen, da jede unterschiedlich ist.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Hast du fotografische Ziele für die nächsten Jahre?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Wenn es die Papierpreise wieder zulassen möchte ich einen Bildband produzieren bzw. herausgeben. Ansonsten sich weiter entwickeln und neue Projekte im In- und Ausland planen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Da du gerade die fotografische Weiterentwicklung ansprichst: Wie entwickelst du dich weiter? </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler: </strong>Ich schaue sehr gerne anderen Fotografen bei der Arbeit zu und lasse mich dadurch inspirieren. Dies geschieht durch ein gemeinsames Shooting, Tutorials und auch Workshops, die ich gerne besuche. Ansonsten sind es Kleinigkeiten, die mich entwickeln lassen. Mal was neues probieren. Über den Tellerrand schauen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Bleiben wir bitte kurz bei der Weiterentwicklung. Welchen Rat kannst du dazu generell Fotografen in der Menschenfotografie geben?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler: </strong>Nehmt euch Zeit für den Menschen, den ihr fotografiert. Fotografiert mit dem Herzen, nicht mit der Technik. Zeigt eure Gefühle. Zeigt eure Begeisterung. Zeigt eure Freude. Zeigt eure Euphorie. Begegnet dem Menschen auf Augenhöhe. Schenkt dem Menschen eure 1000%ige Aufmerksamkeit. All das bewirkt Vertrauen und Vertrauen ist in der Menschenfotografie das wichtigste. Versucht dem Modell das Gefühl zu geben, dass es nicht bei einem Shooting ist sondern es rundum verwöhnt wird. Aufmerksamkeit und Vertrauen. Zuhören und bei den Gesprächen auf Augenhöhe begegnen. Sich nicht verschliessen sondern auch von sich erzählen. Wenn du all das erreichst, habt ihr einen großartigen Tag, einen Menschen, der sich mit einem Lächeln und einem anderem Selbstwertgefühl verabschiedet und „nebenbei“ habt ihr noch tolle Fotos gemacht</p>

  13205.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Nach so vielen Informationen über deine Fotografie wäre es spannend, noch etwas über dich als Person zu erfahren. </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Ich bin 210cm lang, was mir in der Fotografie sehr hilft (Perspektive). Ich werde 54 Jahre alt. Bin verheiratet, Vater einer 34 Jährigen Tochter und Großvater eines 3,5 Jahre alten Enkels. War sehr lange Angestellt in einem sehr großem Konzern und bereite mich jetzt auf eine Selbstständigkeit als Fotograf vor.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Welchen Stellenwert hat die Fotografie für dich?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> Mittlerweile ist die Fotografie kein Hobby mehr. Ich habe vor 2 Jahren meinen Job gekündigt um mit dem Thema Fotografie mein Geld zu verdienen. Corona hat es etwas verzögert, aber ich möchte in 2023 starten. Vorher waren es 30-50% des Tages, die ich mit und um die Fotografie verbracht habe. Also eine absolute Leidenschaft.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Worauf wirst du dich als selbständiger Fotograf konzentrieren.</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler: </strong>Es werden Workshops, Coachings, Auftragsfotografie und der Verkauf von Printmedien. Ich bin gespannt wie es sich entwickelt</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Erinnerst du dich noch an deine ersten Schritte in die Fotografie?</p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler: </strong>Wie bei vielen anderen Fotografen erinnere ich mich sehr gut an erste Versuche mit der „Ritsch-Ratsch-Kamera“, die erste gebrauchte SLR (Canon A1) inkl. SW Dunkelkammer. Aber es war eher „geknipse“. Erst durch die Einführung der digitalen Fotografie habe ich mich mehr und intensiver damit auseinandergesetzt, weil das Ergebnis ja direkt zu sehen war. So habe ich begonnen, jedes Bild, jedes Poster, jeden Bildband nach Lichteinsatz, Bildschnitt etc. zu analysieren und ggf. auch nachzustellen. Auf diversen Plattformen (Fotocommunity, Flickr) habe ich mir weitere Inspirationen, aber auch Feedback zu meinen Fotos geholt. Gerade durch die FC habe ich tolle Menschen kennengelernt, die mich in der fotografischen, als auch in der persönlichen Entwicklung weitergebracht haben. Ich habe schnell gemerkt, dass es mich fesselt, fasziniert und seit dem ist die Fotografie ein fester Bestandteil meines Lebens. Es geht nicht mehr ohne.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Was machst du in deiner Freizeit gern, wenn du nicht fotografierst oder Workshops gibst? </p><p class=""><strong>Stefan Beutler:</strong> In der Freizeit mache ich Sport, koche gerne und versuche etwas von der Welt zu sehen. </p><p class="">Thomas Berlin: Stefan, vielen Dank für das Gespräch und die Einblicke in deine Arbeit<br><br><br></p><p class=""><em>Stefan Beutler ist erreichbar über seine </em><a href="https://www.stefan-beutler.de" target="_blank"><span><em>Website</em></span></a><em> und auf </em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stefan_beutler/" target="_blank"><span><em>Instagram</em></span></a><em>. </em></p><p class=""><em>Bilder mit Ausnahme des ersten Bildes: © Stefan Beutler</em></p>

Über die Tätigkeit des Kuratierens und die Gestaltung von Kunstausstellungen wollen wir sprechen. Dabei soll die Fotografie im Mittelpunkt stehen. Bevor wir zu deinen eigenen Erfahrungen kommen, würde ich gern ganz allgemein beginnen: Was ist eigentlich ein Kurator?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Im ursprünglichen Sinne ist ein Kurator ein Mensch, der sich innerhalb einer Institution, beispielsweise eines Museums, mit der Pflege, dem Bewahren und Katalogisieren, dem Erforschen einer Sammlung beschäftigt. Ein weiterer Teil seiner Tätigkeit ist das Ausstellen von Teilen dieser Sammlung oder der Sammlung in Gänze, innerhalb der Institution oder auch außerhalb. Wenn wir jetzt meine Tätigkeit als Grundlage für das Gespräch nehmen, so dreht es sich hierbei um das freiberufliche Organisieren von Ausstellungen im Bereich der Fotografie für Institutionen oder Galerien. Ich bin nicht für eine Sammlung verantwortlich, sondern nur für die Exponate, die ich ausstelle, und zwar von der Anlieferung am Ausstellungsort bis zur Rückkehr zu den Leihgebern; das können Sammler und bewahrende Institutionen sein oder Fotografen und Fotografinnen. Und natürlich entwickel ich die Idee für eine Ausstellung, das Ausstellungskonzept, lade die Fotografen ein, kümmere mich um die Finanzierung, einen Katalog, die Pressearbeit, die Hängung der Exponate, begleitende Veranstaltungen, den Rücktransport etc. Wenn die Ausstellung einen größeren Umfang hat, arbeite ich allerdings nicht solo, sondern habe für viele der Teilbereiche ein Team, in der Regel freie und feste Mitarbeiter der Institution oder der Galerie für die ich tätig bin, Spezialisten in ihren jeweiligen Bereichen, Mitarbeiter, die bei der Beantragung von Fördergeldern behilflich sind, die die Ausstellung nach meinen Vorgaben hängen, jemanden, der eine professionelle Pressearbeit macht, Mitarbeiter, die die Ausstellung während der Öffnungszeiten bewachen und die Besucher betreuen usw. Und in der aktuell von mir kuratierten Ausstellung, „Ausnahmezustand. Polnische Fotokunst heute“ für das ZAK – Zentrum für Aktuelle Kunst in der Zitadelle Spandau zu Berlin, habe ich, nachdem ich von dem dortigen Leiter eingeladen wurde die Ausstellung zu machen, eine Co-Kuratorin eingeladen, dieses Projekt gemeinsam mit mir zu stemmen. Ohne Grazyna Siedlecka wäre die Ausstellung sicherlich nicht so gut geworden. Die Zusammenarbeit war ganz wichtig für ihren Erfolg.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Kannst du die Kuratorentätigkeit in einzelne Phasen unterteilen?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Idee, grundlegende Planung, Gespräche mit Fotografen und Leihgebern, u. U. Suche des Ausstellungsorts – wenn er nicht von Vornherein feststeht, wie im gerade genannten Fall, Werkauswahl, Planung der Hängung/Präsentation, Organisation der Transporte zum Ausstellungsort, Pressearbeit, Katalogproduktion, Planung der Vernissage und von Veranstaltungen, Einladen der beteiligten Künstler inklusive Buchung von Unterkünften, Ausstellungsaufbau, Durchführung von Pressekonferenz und Vernissage, Durchführung von Veranstaltungen, Abbau der Ausstellung, Rücktransport der Exponate, Schlussabrechnung, abschließendes Resümee. So in etwa. Bei kleinen Ausstellungsprojekten ist das natürlich alles überschaubarer und weniger aufwendig, aber das Prinzip ist das Gleiche.</p>

  13523.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Angestellte oder freiberufliche Kuratoren arbeiten für Galerien, Kulturinstitution oder private Sammlungen. Gibt es darüber hinaus noch weitere Auftraggeber und welche Auftraggeber dominieren?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper: </strong>Stiftungen zum Beispiel. Ein Kurator kann auch völlig frei von Galerien, Museen und Institutionen agieren. Es muss auch nicht immer einen Auftraggeber geben. Es gibt völlig freie Projekte, wo das volle Risiko – auch das finanzielle - beim Organisator liegt und u.U. bei den beteiligten Künstlern. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Was sind die üblichen Freiheiten und Sachzwänge?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Als freie Kurator bin ich so frei wie es nur geht. Sachzwang? Na, Geld ist mit Sicherheit entscheidend für die Realisierung der allermeisten Projekte. Im Kunstbetrieb gibt es zwar viel Selbstausbeutung, aber so ganz ohne Geld gäbe es fast keine Ausstellungen.  </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Wie lernt man das Kuratieren? Gibt es z.B. formale Bildungswege?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Es gibt curatorial studies, aber noch nicht allzu lange. Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter an Museen lernen das kuratieren vor Ort durch ihren Arbeitgeber. Jeder, der in einer Galerie tätig ist, ist regelmäßig mit der Planung und Durchführung von Ausstellung befasst. Ich selber habe alles durch learning by doing gelernt. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Du selbst bist ja über deine Tätigkeit im Kunstbetrieb zum Kuratieren gekommen. Kannst du bitte skizzieren, wie das bei dir war?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Ich habe 1988 begonnen für eine Berliner Off-Galerie tätig zu sein, unentgeltlich, da habe ich meine ersten Erfahrungen mit dem Organisieren von Ausstellungen gesammelt. Daraufhin folgten eigene Galerien bzw. Projekträume, Tätigkeiten für Galerien, selbst kuratierte freie Ausstellungen – in der Regel gemeinsam mit den ausgestellten Künstlern. Nach einer langen Pause in Sachen Ausstellungsorganisation war die Einladung durch das ZAK, die o.g. Ausstellung zu machen, ein Neueinstieg. Und es war auch gleich die größte Ausstellung, die ich bisher kuratiert habe. Grazyna und ich haben 27 polnische Fotografen und Fotografinnen eingeladen an ihr teilzunehmen. Und wir haben 1200 Quadratmeter Ausstellungsfläche zur Verfügung gehabt. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Wer entscheidet bei solch einer großen Ausstellung die Inhalte, die ja auch politisch sein können. Gibt es da Vorgaben oder laufende Abstimmungen, z.B. um Rücksicht auf Ausstellungsinstitution oder Sponsoren zu nehmen?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Ich spreche jetzt mal nur von mir. Wenn ich etwas kuratiere, dann entscheide ich alleine, bzw. ich und meine Mitkuratorin, wie in der aktuellen Ausstellung, was das Thema ist und was ausgestellt wird. Abstimmungen mit Institutionen gibt es inhaltlich keine. Wir haben das Konzept erstellt und es der Institution vorgeschlagen, in diesem Fall dem Zak. Und als wir das OK hatten, also eingeladen wurden, das Konzept zu einer realen Schau zu machen, dann haben wir die Ausstellung inhaltlich konkretisiert und die Künstler und Künstlerinnen eingeladen mitzumachen. Inhaltliche Rücksichtnahme auf eine Institution oder gar auf Sponsoren käme für mich überhaupt nicht in Frage. Das wäre Selbstzensur, die einem Projekt immer abträglich ist. In unserer Ausstellung über polnische Fotografie haben wir beispielsweise von vornherein darauf verzichtet, in Polen nach Sponsoren zu suchen. Das wären in Polen automatisch staatliche Institutionen gewesen, wie das Instytut Adama Mickiewicza – vergleichbar mit unserem Goethe Institut. Das ist seit der Übernahme der Regierung durch die rechtsnationale PiS derart unterwandert und auf Parteilinie gebracht worden, dass wir mit unserer Künstlerauswahl sowieso keine Chance auf Förderung gehabt hätten bzw. ständigen Einflussnahmeversuchen ausgesetzt gewesen wären. Beispielsweise der von uns mit Bildern seiner Serie Strajk ausgestellte Dokumentarfotograf und Fotokünstler Rafal Milach, Mitglied der Fotografenagentur MAGNUM, der in der Serie die Proteste gegen die Quasi-Abschaffung des Abtreibungsrechts in seinem Heimatland dokumentiert, steht eindeutig – zumindest mit diesen Fotos – auf einer schwarzen Liste. Staatliche Repräsentanten Polens haben sich in der Vergangenheit nicht gescheut auch im Ausland Organisatoren aufzufordern, diese Bilder von Milach nicht zu zeigen, um das Ansehen Polens nicht zu schaden. Glücklicherweise wurde diesen Idioten die Tür gezeigt, aber Du siehst, der polnische Staat versucht kritische Künstler auch im Ausland in ihrer Arbeit zu behindern bzw. zu diskreditieren. So etwas wollten wir von vornherein vermeiden. Unsere Ausstellung mit polnischer Fotokunst wurde mit 65.000 € durch den Hauptstadtkulturfonds aus Deutschland unterstützt. Dieser Zuschuss hat dann gerade so ausgereicht, um unser Konzept umzusetzen, inklusive ausführlichen Katalog in Deutsch, Englisch und Polnisch.  </p>

  13646.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Gehen wir mal davon aus, ein teilnehmender Künstler steht fest. Er oder sie zeigt dir ein riesiges Konvolut seiner Arbeiten, die thematisch zum Ausstellungsprojekt passen, Wie kann ich mir die Bildauswahl vorstellen, wenn du daraus einige wenige Bilder auswählen musst. Wie gehst du vor und gibt es generelle Kriterien?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Na ja, so läuft das nicht wirklich. Als Grazyna und ich unsere Künstlerliste beisammen hatten und auch wussten, dass sie mitmachen, da wussten wir in der Regel auch bereits, welche Arbeiten wir haben wollten. Von Zuza Krajewska beispielsweise kannte ich ihre Serie ‚IMAGO‘ über straffällig gewordene Jugendliche. Ich hatte sie 2016 beim Warsaw Gallery Weekend gesehen. Die wollte ich unbedingt in der Ausstellung dabei haben. Von Aneta Grzeszykowska wollte ich Bilder aus ihrer Serie ‚Selfies‘ haben, die mich 2015 in einer Ausstellung in der Raster Galerie in Warschau begeistert hatten. Von Pawel Jaszczuk war klar, dass es Werke aus der Serie ‚¥€$U$‘ sein müssen und bei Dominik Tarabanski Bilder aus der Serie ‚Roses for Mother‘. Lediglich&nbsp; bei einigen Teilnehmern wollten wir ein dreiviertel Jahr vor Ausstellungsbeginn noch ganz frische Arbeiten sehen, die bei der Planung noch in Produktion waren und die uns generell interessiert hatten. Von Filip Berendt und Michal Siarek sind Arbeiten in der Ausstellung, die es Anfang 2022 noch nicht gab. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Wie geht es mit der Hängung der Bilder weiter? Worauf kommt es dabei an?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper: </strong>Alle Arbeiten müssen so optimal wie möglich präsentiert werden, damit sie eine Wirkung entfalten. Und in einer Gruppenausstellung müssen zudem alle Werkgruppen perfekt miteinander auskommen. Es darf nicht sein, dass beispielsweise eine expressive Werkgruppe eine meditativere in den Schatten stellt. Als Kuratoren haben wir die Aufgabe, allen Werken die bestmögliche Wirkung zu verschaffen, auch im Zusammenspiel mit all den anderen Arbeiten, die in einer Ausstellung dabei sind. Das planen wir bereits vorab, wenn wir die Motive, die Werke ausgewählt haben. Wir überlegen uns, was miteinander funktioniert. Und wie ein Rundgang durch die Räume aussehen könnte. Gerade in Gruppenausstellungen muss es eine Art von Choreografie geben, so dass der Gang von Raum zu Raum spannend ist. Grazyna und ich sind beide sehr visuelle Menschen und zudem erfahren im Organisieren von Ausstellungen, so dass wir uns relativ schnell einig waren, was wie und wo hängen sollte. Als dann alle Arbeiten im Museum angeliefert waren, gab es nur wenige künstlerische Positionen, die wir während der Hängung getauscht haben, weil wir gemerkt hatten, dass die Werke doch nicht so gut miteinander funktionierten, wie wir uns das bei der Planung vorgestellt hatten. Bei drei Werkgruppen haben wir zudem die Wände farbig gestaltet, was einerseits den Arbeiten zugutekommt und andererseits der gesamten Ausstellung einen gewissen Pfiff verleiht. Das hatten wir aber schon vor dem Ausstellungsaufbau so beschlossen und mit den Künstlern abgesprochen. Wie gesagt, alle Exponate, alle Räume müssen als Ganzes funktionieren. Und dann muss natürlich jedes Werkkonvolut in sich schlüssig gehängt werden. Einfach alles nur in eine Reihe zu hängen wäre schrecklich langweilig, passt auch nicht zu allen Arbeiten. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>In eurer Ausstellung „Ausnahmezustand“ werden die Werke in verschiedenen Formaten und Präsentationsformen gezeigt. Gerahmt, mit und ohne Passepartout, ohne Rahmen, einmal sogar im Zeitungsformat. Gibt es bei Darstellungsformen einen Trend oder Möglichkeiten, die bei den Rezipienten besonders gut ankommen?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Nein, jeder Künstler, jede Künstlerin wählt die Präsentationsform so, dass sie zur Idee, zum Werk passt. Es gibt nichts, was im Trend liegt und nichts, was bei Rezipienten besonders gut ankommt. Kunst lässt sich auch nicht uniform gestalten. Es sind ja auch keine Auftragsarbeiten, wo es bestimmte Prämissen einzuhalten gilt.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Was macht für dich das Erleben einer Ausstellung, d.h. die physische Präsenz der Fotografien, attraktiv? Du könntest ja auch einen Onlinekatalog ansehen. Und um gleich eine Frage anzuschließen: Werden physische Ausstellungen eine steigende oder sinkende Bedeutung für die Fotografie haben?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Nichts wird jemals das Original ablösen. Ich habe noch nie ein Foto gesehen, dass online besser wirkt als ein Print. Für mich stellen sich diese Fragen nicht. Die Bedeutung physischer Ausstellungen wird nicht abnehmen. Ich spreche jetzt nicht von NFTs und dem Metaverse. Wer darauf scharf ist, soll es tun. Ich bevorzuge das reale Leben. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Manche Fotografen oder andere Künstler streben früh eine eigene Ausstellung an. Andere dagegen möchten z.B. erst einen eigenen Stil festigen oder ein wertigeres Portfolio erarbeiten. Vielleicht wäre aber auch ein frühzeitiges Feedback aus einer Ausstellung hilfreich. Was ist ein guter Zeitpunkt für eine Ausstellung und welche Chancen und Risiken - neben den ökonomischen Aspekten - ergeben sich für den Künstler?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Dass Fotografen und Künstler ihre Arbeiten zeigen möchten, ist ja normal. Ich denke, dass die Allermeisten nicht für die Schublade oder den Lagerraum produzieren. Die Sorge nach der Festigung eines eigenen Stils vor einer ersten öffentlichen Präsentation treibt hier wohl die Wenigsten um. Kunst ist ja auch Kommunikation. Selbstgespräche werden hier höchstens im Verlauf des Herstellungsprozesses oder während der Ideenfindung geführt. Wie gesagt, Ausnahmen gibt es immer. Wer jung ist und am Anfang seiner Karriere steht – oder die Kunst und das Fotografieren eher als Hobby betreibt, wird kaum nach einer institutionellen oder musealen Ausstellung streben. Das sind Orte, die in der Regel erst angestrebt werden, wenn – wie Du es nennst – der Stil gefestigt ist. Ebenso verhält es sich mit kommerziellen Galerien. Neulinge haben hier eher keine Chance, es sei denn, sie sind ungewöhnlich gut und originell. In unserer schon erwähnten aktuellen Ausstellung haben wir eine junge Künstlerin, die von Beginn ihrer Karriere an wirklich außergewöhnlich ist. Ich habe 2017 die erste größere öffentliche Präsentation der damals 19jährigen Karolina Wojtas beim Krakow Photomonth gesehen und war damals ziemlich überrascht. Das, was sie da gezeigt hatte, und wie sie ihre fotografische Arbeit präsentiert hat, war sehr außergewöhnlich. Ich war nicht gleich ein Fan davon, aber es ist eine der wenigen Präsentationen des gesamten Fotofestivals, die mir in Erinnerung geblieben ist. Ich habe ihre Arbeiten dann weiterhin aus der Distanz verfolgt und als es darum ging, die Künstler und Künstlerinnen für unserer Ausstellung auszusuchen, haben wir Karolina sehr früh in Betracht gezogen. Ihre dann weiterhin spannenden Arbeiten und Ausstellungen haben uns dann bestätigt, dass wir sie unbedingt dabeihaben wollten. Jetzt ist sie 25 und hat schon eine Einzelpräsentation bei FOAM in Amsterdam und im Instytut Fotografii Fort in Warschau gehabt. Anfang 2023 wird sie bei C/O Berlin eine Einzelausstellung haben und vertreten wird sie von der in Oslo beheimateten Galerie Vasli Souza. Aus Berlin hat mich eine der ganz großen Galerien kontaktiert, ob ich einen Kontakt zu Karolina herstellen könne. Sie ist also schon in sehr jungen Jahren im gehobenen Ausstellungsbetrieb angekommen. Aber das passiert nur wenigen; in der Regel denjenigen, die wirklich Neues und Außergewöhnliches schaffen. Und wir beide wissen, dass das etwas ist, wozu nur wenige in der Lage sind.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Kann ein Kurator, oder eine andere fachkundige Person, dem Künstler bei seiner Ausstellung helfen? Und geschieht das in der Praxis?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Na ja, dass ein Künstler bzw. eine Künstlerin zu einer Ausstellung eingeladen wird, ist ja schon etwas Positives. Und natürlich unterstützen Kuratoren und ihre Teams die Künstler, wenn es Dinge gibt, die unklar oder alleine nicht immer leicht zu erledigen sind, beispielsweise Zollangelegenheiten. Wenn Du auf Galerieausstellungen abzielst, dann besprechen Galerist und Künstler natürlich gemeinsam die geplante Ausstellung. Und wenn Du von ganz jungen Künstlern spricht, vielleicht noch studierende, dann wird sich untereinander intensiv ausgetauscht und die Professoren unterstützen, zum Beispiel bei einer Uni-Ausstellung, einer Pop-Up-Show oder einer Präsentation in einem artist-run-space. </p>

  13774.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Kommen wir noch mal zu deiner derzeitigen Ausstellung „Ausnahmezustand“, selbst wenn das vielleicht wegen der Größe des Projekts ein besonderes Beispiel ist. Du sagtest vorhin, dass du als Kurator so frei bist, wie es nur geht. Was ist mit den Interessen der Künstler, die vielleicht andere Vorstellungen haben? Gibt es da inhaltliche Auseinandersetzungen oder wie kann ich mir den Abstimmungsprozess vorstellen?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Inhaltliche Auseinandersetzungen gab es nicht. Grazyna und ich haben das Konzept erstellt und dementsprechend Fotokünstler- und künstlerinnen eingeladen. Wer da nicht mit dem Konzept einverstanden ist, nimmt nicht teil. In einer Gruppenausstellung mit 27 Beteiligten gibt es natürlich viele Interessen zu berücksichtigen, beispielsweise Wünsche bei der Hängung. Wir bemühen uns, Wünsche und Befindlichkeiten zu berücksichtigen. Das letzte Wort haben allerdings wir als Kuratoren. Sonst kann man so viele Beteiligte nicht unter einen Hut bringen. Anders sieht es bei einer monografischen Ausstellung aus. Die wird in der Regel mit dem Künstler, der Künstlerin - soweit die Person noch lebt - gemeinsam erarbeitet. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Kannst du bitte am Beispiel der aktuellen Ausstellung skizzieren, wie der Entstehungsprozess war und wie lang der Vorlauf dieser Ausstellung war?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Ich habe eingangs ja schon erwähnt, dass ich vom Leiter des ZAK eingeladen wurde, die Ausstellung zu kuratieren und ich dann meinerseits Grazyna Siedlecka gefragt hatte, ob sie das gemeinsam mit mir machen wolle. Das war vor über drei Jahren. Durch Corona gab es dann eine Verschiebung, da die Institution ihr gesamtes Ausstellungsprogramm generell verschieben musste. Wir hatten da bereits unser Konzept erarbeitet und die Interessensbekundungen der Künstler in der Tasche. Erst 2021 haben wir dann – weil klar war, dass nun September 2022 als Vernissagetermin feststand – aktiv für finanzielle Unterstützung geworben. Als wir dann Ende 2021 die Zusage vom Hauptstadtkulturfonds über 65.000 € erhalten hatten, konnten wir alles konkretisieren. Ende Januar 2022 waren Grazyna und ich in Warschau und haben dort die meisten Künstler und Künstlerinnen persönlich getroffen, manche kamen extra nach Warschau, Irena Kalicka beispielsweise aus Krakow, Karolina Wojtas, die in Lodz lebt, kam gerade aus Amsterdam zurück. Mit anderen haben wir via Zoom gesprochen, so mit Dominik Tarabanski in New York und Zosia Prominska in Zürich. Wo möglich, haben wir die Ateliers und Studios besucht, um die von uns vorab ausgewählten Arbeiten im Original anzusehen, insbesondere wenn wir sie nur von Abbildungen her kannten, und um eventuell Neuproduktionen anzuschauen, wie bei Filip Berendt. Außerdem haben wir die Galeristen aufgesucht, von denen wir Leihgaben haben wollten, Raster Galerie, Jednostka Galerie, Gunia Nowik etc. Nach der Reise ging es dann daran, die gewünschten Leihgaben schriftlich zu fixieren, die Ausstellung en detail zu planen, die Pressearbeit zu beginnen und all die anderen Sachen, die gemacht werden müssen. Rund zwei Wochen vor Ausstellungsbeginn begann dann der Aufbau der Ausstellung. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt mussten alle Arbeiten angeliefert werden. Wir hatten drei Sammeltransporte aus Polen, weitere Arbeiten kamen aus Oslo, Zürich und Verona. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Mich würde auch interessieren, welche Glücksmomente aber auch Abgründe sich bei der Vorbereitung der Ausstellung für dich als Kurator ergeben hatten.</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper: </strong>Das alles zu organisieren, so etwas überhaupt machen zu können, macht mich schon glücklich. Abgründe gab es keine, aber Stressmomente. Beispielsweise steckte eine Arbeit zunächst&nbsp; im Zoll fest und wurde dann auch noch unglaublich spät von DHL ausgeliefert, tatsächlich erst im letzten Moment. Wenn unser Hängeteam am Tag vor der Ausstellungseröffnung nicht bereitwillig bis Mitternacht Überstunden gemacht hätte, wäre es problematisch geworden, denn wir hatten bereits neun Stunden später unsere Pressevorbesichtigung. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Du hattest eingangs die kuratorische Tätigkeit beschrieben. Mit welchen der Tätigkeit ist in den nächsten Jahren zu rechnen, z.B, durch die fortschreitende Digitalisierung. Ich denke dabei z.B. an digitale Auftritte von Kunstsammlungen, wie z.B, beim Städel Museum bei uns in Frankfurt.</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Die Tätigkeiten bleiben insgesamt dieselben – Pflege einer Sammlung, das Bewahren, Katalogisieren, Ausstellen, Präsentieren usw. Die Digitalisierung ist ein Hilfsmittel, das den leichteren Zugang zu weiten Teilen einer Sammlung ermöglicht. Institutionen wie das Städel können durch digitale Auftritte sicherlich mehr Menschen erreichen und womöglich in Depots versteckte Werke in die Öffentlichkeit bringen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Jens, vielen Dank für die interessanten Informationen aus dem „Maschinenraum“ des Kunstbetriebs. Möchtest du darüber hinaus noch etwas sagen?</p><p class=""><strong>Jens Pepper:</strong> Eigentlich nicht. Lediglich, dass wir Kuratoren uns über viele Besucher freuen und eine gute Presseberichterstattung. Beides hat bei ‚Ausnahmezustand‘ sehr gut funktioniert. Wir haben richtig viele Besucher und bisher – fünf Wochen vor Ausstellungsende, bereits über 20 Artikel und Rezensionen in Printmedien und online, u.a. eine Seite in der Photonews, 16 Seiten in der schweizer Modezeitschrift FACES, vier Seiten im Zoo Magazine aus Amsterdam, ausführliche Rezensionen bei Fotolot auf dem dem Onlineportal Perlentaucher und – ebenfalls online – im polnischen Kunstmagazin SZUM. Hinzu kommen das Berliner Stadtmagazin TIP, diverse Tageszeitungen in Deutschland, Portugal und – wirklich – Macao!, das Fotomagazin brennpunkt, die deutsche und die polnische Vogue, Museumsjournal, Sammlerjournal, und, und, und. In Camera Austria wird demnächst noch etwas erscheinen. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Danke für das Gespräch!</p>

The fashion was just a fan and did not earn money.  Once, on a trip to Bangkok with a contract with my fashion agency, an incident happened.  Someone sent all of my links and nude pics to an agency in Bangkok.  They did not like it and they terminated our contract and I went home.  I took a break from the fashion agency and started focusing only on art nudes.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Is being a model your first job or did you have an other jobs before (or a study or apprenticeship)?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D: </strong>I studied to become an accountant and a political scientist in Belarus.&nbsp; But I wasn't interested and just broke up my studies.

  14660.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What are your modelling styles? Which one do you enjoy the most?&nbsp;</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> I do work in nude style most. Also fashion. I like to try different style. I like a lot work for video.<br><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> In what kind of videos are you acting? </p><p class=""><strong>Kate D: </strong>Usually these are short videos for some brands or just creative. I like to play different roles. But it's not about nude. I just love acting.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> You are very self confident. Was that always the case or did modeling help to achieve that?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> Yeah! The&nbsp;modeling helps a lot. But confidence comes when you set goals and complete them.&nbsp;Solve any difficulties.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What differentiates a good from a not so good photographer from your models perspective?&nbsp;</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D: </strong>It’s something you can feel. I know cool photographers who can create masterpieces just with a phone camera.&nbsp; For starters, and this is the most important thing, it’s the ability to work with light!</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Could you name 2-3 photographers with good work in your opinion?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D: </strong>There are the names on instagram: @boulgates, @arnaud.ele. And @samli.vm, ne of my favorites when I travel. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> How do you prepare for a shooting?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> Usually the photographer sends me a moodboard in advance or tells what he prefers.&nbsp; Usually it is enough for me to take a shower, drink a glass of water and do a few minutes exercises&nbsp;</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> How do you handle different photographers and their mentalities? Is that a challenge or do you enjoy it?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> I like it. We are all different and that's great.&nbsp;I like a challenge also!</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> What are your limits in a shooting?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> I can't sit splits but almost! I don't do porn shoots also. But I can jump into cold water, climb trees, lie on the pavement in winter (laughing). </p>

And how can a new model pre check the photographer?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D: </strong>I usually don't have problems.&nbsp;Sometimes strange photographers, but no problems. You need to look at the photographer's portfolio.&nbsp;You can feel the character and style of the photographer.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Is there a difference if the photographer is a male or female, eg in style, behaviour, kindness or so?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> No difference.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> How important is social media for your success or your inspiration? Which media do you use?&nbsp;</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> Social media is a good tool. It’s freedom. For inspiration, work and self-expression.&nbsp;I find work through instagram mostly.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Social media is often very prude, maybe also the society. How accepted is nude art in Belarussia and Russia in general and especially regarding your family &amp; friends?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> Everywhere there are people who do not mind and who are against.&nbsp; You just have to be flexible and do what you like.&nbsp; My family and friends know about my work, I have no problems with it. I'm glad that I don't live in a Muslim country.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> What advice can you give to new models? Or a reason to model or maybe not to model?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> If&nbsp;you like it, try it.&nbsp; There is never anything to be afraid of.&nbsp; Fear is an illusion.&nbsp; Fear stops you from living your life to the fullest.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> What is your advice to photographers how they should treat the model and due to achieve a successful shooting?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D: </strong>Be friendly, be open and know how to put put a good light, his is the main thing.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Do you also take photographs? </p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> Yes, sometimes. Just fan pictures of me, my friend and nature with an analog camera</p>

  15107.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Will you probably model the whole life or do you have other plans for the future?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D: </strong>I will work as a model as long as possible. But never say “never”.&nbsp; Maybe I'll find something else to do tomorrow.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> You are traveling internationally. Which countries or cities impressed you? And which places do you favour?</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> Usually I travel in Asia or Europe. In summer I like to be in Europe. I like Spain a lot. But that’s more to relax. If I want to work or if I need contact with people and sociality I go to Germany. Berlin is so cool for this.&nbsp;I like Saint Petersburg a lot also.&nbsp; In Asia regarding the cities I like Hong Kong. Many nature in the city, it’s important for me,&nbsp; and&nbsp;I like the style of architecture.&nbsp;I would like to visit someday UK, USA and Japan.&nbsp;</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What else are you doing outside of modelling, outside your job?&nbsp;</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> I love sports, yoga, active lifestyle, hiking, cycling, traveling, music, dancing, driving. Try to do something new every time. I’m raw vegan. I love to inspire and motivate people for a healthy and happy lifestyle. Enjoying life.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Kate, thank you for the interview and our new collaboration. Enjoy your life!</p><p class=""><strong>Kate D:</strong> Easy. I always wish this for people. <br><br><br></p><p class="">You can find Kate on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kate_true_love/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.

  15371.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Andreas, nachdem du mir dein Atelier und deine Werkstatt gezeigt hast, würde ich nun gerne ausführlicher über zwei deiner künstlerischen Aktivitäten sprechen: Erstens über deine Collodion Wetplate-Arbeiten und zweitens über deine „Personality“-Reihe.</p><p class="">Starten wir it der Wetplatefotografie. Das Verfahren ist vergleichsweise aufwändig und sehr handwerklich. Was macht für dich den Reiz aus, dass du dich damit so intensiv befasst?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Das sind mehrere Aspekte, die da zusammenkommen. Zum einen bin ich mit der analogen Fotografie gross geworden, mein Vater hatte eine eigene Dunkelkammer und schon in der Schule habe ich Fotokurse belegt. Was mich dabei immer fasziniert hat, war der Moment, als das Bild in der Entwicklerschale aus dem nichts entstanden ist. Das war mich mich Magie pur. Man hatte einen Film belichtet, oft schon eine ganze Weile vorher, man wusste nicht ob die Bilder überhaupt etwas geworden sind und dann stand man in der Dunkelkammer und vor deine Augen kamen wieder die Szenen zu Vorschein, die vorher festgehalten hast. Zum anderen bin ich leidenschaftlicher Handwerker und Do-it-Yourselfer, die Nassplattenfotografie ist die einzige Art der Fotografie, bei der man über alles die volle Kontrolle hat. Man stellt alles selbst her, den eigenen Bildträger/Film mit der selbst hergestellten lichtempfindlichen Beschichtung, Entwickerlösungen, Fixierlösungen, selbst die Firnislacke und in meinem Fall sogar Teile der Kameraausrüstung und Objektive...alles machst du selber, alles kannst du beeinflussen nach deinen Wünschen und Anforderungen anpassen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Deine Wetplatearbeiten, meist Nudes und Portraits, wirken wie aus einer anderen Zeit. Oft sind die Augen, bzw. der Fokuspunkt generell, sehr scharf und herausgehoben während die Körper teilweise eine weiche Unschärfe unfasst. Woran liegt das?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Die Lichtempfindlichkeit der beschichteten Fotoplatten liegt im Bereich von Iso 0.5- Iso 1.5, das heisst man braucht sehr viel Licht zum Belichten. Deshalb ist es sinnvoll, mit möglichst offener Blende zu fotografieren, bei meinem Format 18x24cm&nbsp; ist die Normalbrennweite 400mm und bei Offenblende 4 und Portraitdistanz reden wir von Schärfebereichen von wenigen Millimetern. Das kann gerade bei Portraits, auch sehr problematisch sein, wenn zum Beispiel die Nase im Gesicht zur unscharfen Knolle mutiert. </p>

  15499.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Ich glaube jetzt haben wir einen Punkt erreicht, an dem es gut wäre, wenn du erklären könntest, wie Wetplatefotografie grundsätzlich funktioniert.</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> 1851 von Frederick Scott Archer und Gustav Le Grey entwickelt, war die Kollodium-Nassplattenfotografie bis ca. 1870 die verbreitetste fotografische Technik. Ein Bildträger aus Glas/Blech/ Plexiglas etc. wird gründlich gesäubert. Eine Lösung aus einer flüssigem Kollodium-Bromid/Jodidsalzmischung wird auf der Oberfläche gleichmässig verteilt. Die so beschichtete Platte wir in einem Bad aus Silbernitrat lichtempfindlich gemacht (sensibilisiert). Die Platte wird anschliessend unter Rotlicht aus dem Bad genommen und sofort, noch im nassem Zustand, in der Kamera belichtet. Danach erfolgt die Entwicklung, Fixierung und Trocknung der Aufnahme. Die Oberfläche des Bildes, welches nun aus reinem metallischen Silber besteht, wird mit einer Lösung aus Alkohol, Schelllack/ Sandarakharz und Lavendelöl übergossen und somit dauerhaft versiegelt und vor Oxidation geschützt. Ambrotypien, so nennt man die Kollodiumnassplattenbilder auf Glas, sind Scheinpositive, sie können sowohl als Negative zur Vervielfältigung für fotografische Edeldrucke wie Cyanotypien, Salzdrucke etc. entwickelt werden, als auch als Positiv vor schwarzem Hintergund als fertiges Unikat an der Wand dienen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Die Originale in deiner Werkstatt wirken auf mich fast dreidimensional und sind etwas anders als die davon gemachten Prints auf Basis eines Scans. Woran lieht das?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Die Glasplatten reflektieren das Licht auf ihrer Oberfläche, die dunklen Bereiche eines Bildes definieren sich aber aus schwarzen Untergrund, meist Samt, der ca. 3mm Glasstärke hinter der Bildschicht liegt. Das trägt mit zur räumlichen Wirkung bei.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie lange betreibst du diese Art der Fotografie schon? Und war das ein gerader Weg auf das Niveau zu kommen, auf dem du heute bist?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Ich habe 2012 autodidaktisch damit begonnen, nach 5 Monate Internetrecherchen und Vorbereitungen, ging es los mit der Praxis. Auf Facebook gab es schon damals eine lebhafte Wetplate-Community mit sehr netten und hilfsbereiten Fotokollegen, die bei aufgetretenen Problemen Rat und Hilfestellung gaben. Mein Wesen als Perfektionist tat ein übriges dazu. Das höchste Niveau hatte ich 2015 erreicht, danach lies ich wieder mehr Imperfektionen zu, denn die gehören beim Verfahren für mich einfach dazu.</p>

  15627.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Die geringe Lichtempfindlichkeit der Emulsionsschicht auf der Glasplatte ist natürlich eine Herausforderung auch für deine Models. Was bedeutet das ganz praktisch?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Im ersten Jahr fotografierte ich mit Dauerlicht, 1400 Watt an Energiesparlampen. Das Model musste dann während der Belichtung 5-8 Sekunden lang stillhalten, nicht blinzeln, nicht atmen. Deshalb sehen viele Personen auch auf historischen Aufnahmen wie versteinert aus. Das funktionierte aber nur bedingt, ein wenig wackeln tut man immer, was zu Unschärfen führte, die mich störten. Ich stellte deshalb 2014 auf Blitztechnik um, seitdem werden 6000 Wattsekunden Blitzleistung auf meine Modelle losgelassen. Ich habe mich extra erkundigt, ob dass medizinisch für die Augen unbedenklich ist und kann Entwarnung geben. Solange keine Vampire in der Ahnenlinie vorkommen, bist du safe.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Kannst du noch etwas zu deiner Kamera und den verwendeten Materialien sagen?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Ich habe mehrere Kameras in den verschiedensten Formaten 4x5, 5x7 und 8x10“, Flohmarktfunde etc. benutzte aber hauptsächlich für meine Studioaufnahmen eine Century Studio 4a aus dem Jahr 1927 im Format 8x10“. Als Objektive sind mir alte unkomplizierte 400mm Projektionsobjektive von Meyer oder Leitz aus den 60er Jahren am liebsten, z.B. das Mayer Optik Görlitz Epidon 3.6/420, für das ich ganze 2 Euro gezahlt habe. Ich war nie bereit, die Wahnsinnspreise für Originalobjektive aus damaliger Zeit zu zahlen. Die Grundzutaten zur Fotochemie beziehe ich aus dem Chemikalienhandel, die Glas(Foto)platten vom örtlichen Glaser.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Meist frage ich nach diesen technischen Dingen erst nachdem ich mit meinem Interviewpartner über dessen künstlerische Aspekte gesprochen hatte. In diesem Fall fand ich den Einstieg über deine ungewöhnliche Technik aber wichtig. Kommen wir jetzt aber gern zu den Inhalten. Insbesondere worum es dir in deiner Fotografie besonders geht also welches Ziel du damit verfolgst.</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Erst einmal ist es für mich ein Hobby und erfüllt damit den ganz banalen Selbstzweck, meine Zeit mit etwas zu verbringen, was Freude macht. Mit meiner Fotografie versuche ich Visionen und Ideen meiner Vorstellung von Ästhetik entsprechend zu visualisieren, zu materialisieren. Die Nassplattenfotografie ist dabei ein Werkzeug, bietet aber noch viel mehr. Sie entschleunigt, verlangt die volle Konzentration auf ein einziges Bild… nicht nur für ein paar Sekunden, sondern für mindestens zwanzig Minuten. Als Fotograf und Model, erarbeiten wir dabei gemeinsam das fertige Bild. Die Interpretation überlasse ich bewusst dem Betrachter, jedes meiner Bilder hat etwas zu sagen, man muss nur zuhören.</p>

  15755.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Was sind deine Anforderungen an die Models und wie findest du sie?</p><p class="">Andreas Reh: Die wichtigste Anforderung ist, dass es eben keine Modelle sein sollen, jeder kann es vor meine Kamera schaffen, die Anforderungen sind immer abhängig von der Bildidee, die umgesetzt werden soll. Für Arbeiten mit viel Haut ist es von Vorteil, das jene einigermassen rein ist, da es sich bei den fertigen Bildern um Originale handelt, die nicht retuschiert werden können. Am wichtigsten ist aber Interesse und die gegenseitige Wertschätzung. Die Technik hilft hier, ein Bild, für das man gemeinsam 20 Minuten und länger arbeitet, hat einen wesentlich höheren Stellenwert, als eine digitale Aufnahme unter 3000 weiteren.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Du arbeitest nur mit ungeschminkten Models. Warum eigentlich?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Makeup ist eine Maskierung, man zeigt sich, wie man gerne gesehen werden möchte, dabei bleibt die natürliche Schönheit auf der Strecke. Wobei Schönheit der falsche Begriff ist, es geht um die persönliche Individualität, um das, was einem besonders macht. Im Falle Wetplatefotografie hat es aber auch noch einen simplen technischen Hintergrund. Die Fotoplatten sind UV-Licht sensitiv, Make-up beinhaltet aber oft UV-Blocker, damit sieht die Haut auf einer Nassplatte dann aus, wie mit Schuhcreme bestrichen. Selbst bekannte TV-Moderatoren mussten das bei mir schon lernen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie kann man sich ein WetplateShooting bei dir vorstellen? </p><p class="">Andreas Reh: Da viel Energie, Geld und Zeit in ein einziges Bild gesteckt wird, arbeite ich gerne mit Menschen, die vorher schon einmal digital von mir fotografiert wurden. Im einfachsten Fall arbeiten wir vor dem Wetplate-Shooting erst eine Stunde digital. Das erleichtert das Miteinander und die Bildfindung ungemein. Das eigentliche Wetplate-Shooting ist dann für jedes einzelne Bild, welches umgesetzt werden soll, viergeteilt. Wir bereiten erst die Szene, Pose und Kameratechnik im Studio vor, dann die Fotoplatte in der Werkstatt, gehen mit dieser zur Belichtung ins Studio und anschliessend sofort wieder in die Dunkelkammer zu Entwicklung und Fixierung. Ist das Bild nichts geworden, wird dass ganze ab Punkt zwei wiederholt. Pro Bild kommen so ca. 20-30 Minuten zusammen, und eine Menge Lauferei unter gewissem Zeitdruck. Das Zeitfenster zur Belichtung der nassen Platte bis zur Entwicklung darf je nach Temperatur und Luftfeuchte ca. 10 Minuten nicht überschreiten.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong>&nbsp; Wieviele Wetplates entstehen in einem Shooting? Und wie groß sind die Originale?</p><p class="">Andreas Reh: Ich mache maximal 5-6 Wetplates in Folge, Fehlversuche mit eingerechnet. Die Ausbeute der zeigbaren Aufnahmen liegt in der Regel bei 25-50%. Das Originalbild im Ergebnis hat die Grösse das Aufnahmeformates, meine kleinste Nassplatte ist 24x36mm gross, die grösste 18x24cm.</p>

  15883.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Was macht für dich den Reiz von Portraits und Akten aus? Du könntest ja auch Landschaften oder Pflanzen fotografieren. </p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Ganz klar die Interaktion mit Menschen. Landschaften und Pflanzen habe ich auch schon fotografiert und auch hier liegt ein grosser Reiz und Faszination. Aber unmittelbares Feedback auf ein gemachtes Foto gibt dir nur der Mensch vor der Kamera, bei Wetplates ist dieses Feedback oft so unfassbar emotional, dass da auch schon öfter mal Tränen fliessen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Die künstlerische Aktfotografie ist, soweit ich das bei dir sehe, dein Schwerpunkt. Gleichzeitig scheint die Gesellschaft, insbesondere auf Social Media, tendenziell prüder zu werden. Was bedeutet das für deine Fotografie, bei der Suche nach Models und den Publikations- oder Ausstellungsmöglichkeiten?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung ist für meine Arbeit schlicht eine Katastrophe, die Suche nach Modellen, gerade, wenn man wie ich nach echten Menschen sucht, ist extrem schwierig geworden. Bilder können oft nur zensiert oder gar nicht gezeigt werden, Galerien und Verlage haben kaum Interesse an einer Zusammenarbeit, als Ambassador ist man uninteressant und sehr viele Menschen erreiche ich erst gar nicht, weil man mit dem Fotografen, der nur Akt macht, nichts zu tun haben möchte. Das ist zynisch, heuchlerisch und dumm, wenn ich als Fotograf ein Model im Dessous auf dem Bett räkelnd in Szene setze ist das akzeptierter in der Gesellschaft, aber in meinen Augen deutlich sexualisierter. Selbst die Mehrzahl der Fashionportraits ist sexualisierter, als meine Akte. Aber unterstützt von religiösen und kulturellen Strömungen hat die gesellschaftliche Prohibition den Akt als Übel auserkoren. Damit wird eine Jahrtausende alte Kunstform auf den Scheiterhaufen geworfen und das mit einer in den letzten 15 Jahren beängstigend zunehmenden Geschwindigkeit. Wir sind gerade dabei dafür zu sorgen, dass sich eine ganze Generation junger Menschen seiner Körper schämt… so etwas regt mich richtig auf.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Angenommen, eine digitale Bildbearbeitung könnte den Wetplateeffekt über eine unkomplizierte Softwarelösung imitieren. Würdest du das nutzen oder an deiner handwerklichen analogen Vorgehensweise festhalten?<em> </em> </p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Es gibt diese Möglichkeit per App oder Photoshopfilter schon lange, neuerdings sogar per künstlicher Intelligenz. Aber der Punkt ist, ich mache keine Wetplates wegen des Looks, auch wenn zugegebenermaßen, darin die Anfangsfaszination für mich lag. Der Prozess der Bildentstehung ist das Entscheidende, den Wert, den das Bild für die Mitwirkenden dadurch erhält.</p>

  15945.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Dann schließen wir damit das Thema Wetplate ab und gehen zu unserem zweiten Interviewthema. Wir haben uns gerade die Bilder deines Projekts „Personality“ als hochwertige Prints angesehen. Kannst du bitte beschreiben, worum es dabei geht?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Es ist ein Herzensprojekt. Personality steht für sehr persönliche, künstlerische und ungeschminkte Aktporträts in anspruchsvoller Form zu einem Buch zusammengeführt. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf der Persönlichkeit der porträtierten Person. Ein von der Person selbst niedergeschriebener Gedanke/ Text soll dabei unterstützend helfen, eine Brücke zu bauen, von der visuellen Wahrnehmung des Betrachters zur Gedankenwelt der porträtierten Person. </p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Mir fiel auf, dass die Personen auf deinen Bildern eine Intensität oder Persönlichkeit ausstrahlen und mir sofort interpretierende Gedanken zu dieser Person einfielen. Wie erreichst du es, dass das Bild soviel Ausdruck erreicht?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Ich lasse persönliche Individualität zu, ich setzte sie sogar voraus. Keine aufgesetzte Pose, keine Hand am Gesicht, keine Fashion-Verrenkungen und ich-halte-etwas-verdeckt Posen. Das funktioniert nicht immer, das braucht Zeit um sich während eines Shootings zu entwickeln. Und der Mensch vor der Kamera muss dafür offen sein, muss es zulassen, sich so zu zeigen, wie er normalerweise nur in unbeobachteten Momenten ist. Man ist in dem Moment angreifbar und verletzlich, aber man ist in dem Moment auch einzigartig, ein Individuum mit Persönlichkeit. Und der Mensch vor der Kamera muss bereit sein, die Bildauswahl zu 100% mir zu überlassen. Daran scheitern oft genau die vermeintlich starken Charaktere und das ganze Shooting war dann leider umsonst.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie kommst du für „Personality“ zu der Modelauswahl? Und warum sind es ausschließlich Frauen in einem ähnlichen Alter?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Grundsätzlich sind es mehrheitlich Menschen, die noch nie vor der Kamera standen Ursprünglich hatten wir auch Männer mit im Projekt Nach einigen Porträtsitzungen spürte ich jedoch, dass mir die Ästhetik und Weichheit in den Aktporträts fehlte, hinzu kam die banale Tatsache, dass das männliche Genital ohne gezielt verdeckte Posen immer irgendwie im Bild herumhängt.&nbsp; Das würde eine Veröffentlichung weiter erschweren. Zum Alter: Die körperliche und geistige Entwicklung zum Erwachsenen ist zwischen dem 18. und 26. Lebensjahr weitgehend abgeschlossen, jedoch fehlen in diesem Alter noch die Alterspuren des Lebens. Es ist einfach, ein charaktervolles Portrait von einem alten faltigen Gesicht zu machen oder eine hübsche junge makellose Frau schön aussehen zu lassen. Ich will aber zeigen, dass auch junge Menschen schon eine Persönlichkeit haben und dass man diese auch sieht, wenn man genau hinschaut. Ich habe in den letzten Jahren im Rahmen dieses Projektes die stärksten Charaktere überhaupt kennengelernt.</p>

  16073.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Dass die Menschen vor deiner Kamera unbekleidet sind, gehört zum Konzept oder eher zu deinen persönlichen Vorlieben?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Es würde niemand ein von Christo verhülltes Gebäude fotografieren, wenn er am Gebäude interessiert ist. Den wahren Menschen erkennt man meiner Meinung nach nur ohne Definition durch Kleidung, Schmuck, Makeup und Haare. Die Haare zu verbannen ist nicht immer realistisch, jedoch können wir alle anderen Elemente der individuellen Maskierung weglassen um jede Ablenkung von der Person an sich zu vermeiden, den Blick auf die eigentliche Person nicht zu verhüllen. Das erhöht den Schwierigkeitsgrad bei der Aufnahme, es ist nichts da, hinter dem sich das Model verstecken kann, es kann sich nirgends festhalten. Das macht aber, nach anfänglicher Unsicherheit, mit jedem etwas. Es befreit und hilft dabei, sich komplett zu öffnen. Ich wusste Anfangs selbst nicht, dass so etwas passieren wird, habe es aber in zahlreichen Aftershoot-Gesprächen so bestätigt bekommen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Wie reagieren die Models, wenn du ihre Persönlichkeit suchst, keine Schminke brauchst und auch keine Modelposen möchtest? Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass es für manche Menschen schwerer ist, etwas von ihrer Persönlichkeit zu zeigen als in eine typische Modelrolle zu schlüpfen. </p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Erst einmal ungläubig, vielleicht auch mit dem Hintergedanken, das kann ja nichts werden. Aber es lassen sich viele doch darauf ein und einige sind für diese Erfahrung auch sehr dankbar.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Du arbeitest seit 10 Jahren an diesem Projekt und hast bisher knapp 60 Bilder final ausgewählt. Brauchst du soviel Zeit weil es nicht so einfach ist, geeignete Models für genau dieses Projekt zu finden oder sortierst du viele Shooting-Ergebnisse wieder aus?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Beides, es ist heutzutage für mich extrem schwer, überhaupt noch jemanden dafür zu finden, obwohl ich Geld dafür in die Hand nehme. Ich liefere halt keine Bilder für den Instagram-Feed. Leider schaffen es viele gemachten Bilder dann auch nicht ins Projekt, weil ich ich es während der 1-2 Stunden nicht geschafft habe, zu der Person vorzudringen. Weil das Model es nicht geschafft hat, sich zu öffnen, oder es an der Bildauswahl scheitert, die es nicht aus der Hand geben möchte. Zurück bleibt bestenfalls ein nettes Aktportrait ohne Aussagekraft für das Projekt. Das macht mich oft traurig.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong>&nbsp; Beim Projekt „Personality“ arbeitest du digital. Warum eigentlich? </p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Weil der Öffnungsprozess während des Fotografierens entsteht, irgendwann nach 20min bis einer Stunde, währenddessen machen wir Bilder. Jede Unterbrechung durch Filmwechsel würde da den Flow stören. Ein bewusst eingelegte Pause kann dagegen manchmal auch der ersehnte Türöffner sein.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong>&nbsp; Wie ist dein Licht-Setup und welchen Stellenwert hat die Lichtsetzung für dich?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Das Dauerlichtsetup vor grauem Hintergrund ist bei dieser Serie immer ähnlich, Striplights von hinten links und rechts, ein Spot auf den Hintergrund, ein diffuses Hauptlicht in Form einer 120er Octobox von vorne rechts/oben und etwas diffuses Tageslicht von vorne. Die Serie wird dadurch, neben der durchgehend verwendeten 50mm Brennweite bei Offenblende, stilistisch homogener.</p>

Momentan spüre ich, dass ich immer besser werde im Umgang mit den Menschen, das führt zu mehr, wirklich relevanten Bildern. Es wäre dumm, gerade jetzt aufzuhören. Zeit und Menge ist für mich irrelevant, Qualität ist das einzig entscheidende Kriterium. Das Buch wird in der Grösse um 30x40 cm Hochformat veröffentlicht&nbsp; werden.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong>&nbsp; Gibt es eine Erfahrung aus einem Shooting, die dir besonders im Gedächtnis geblieben ist?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Ich bin unendlich dankbar für alle Erfahrungen, die ich während der letzten Jahre damit machte, beeindruckt bin ich aber vor allem von den junge Studentinnen aus dem Ausland, die mich mit ihrem Mut, ihrer Intelligenz und ihrer Individualität tatsächlich ehrfürchtig machten. Das gibt mir etwas Hoffnung auf die Zukunft. Wenn es mir nach ginge, müsste man allen Männern die Macht und die Waffen wegnehmen, nur dann könnte das vielleicht noch etwas werden mit dem Überleben unserer Spezies. So wie das momentan läuft, wird das nichts</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong>&nbsp; Was ist dein grundsätzlicher Rat an Fotografen, die intensive Porträts mit oder ohne Kleider machen möchten? </p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Vergesst die Posen, verzichtet auf alles, was von der Person ablenkt, macht die Blende maximal auf, legt den Fokus auf die Augen und fangt vor allem an, selber mit offen Augen durch die Welt zu gehen. Es ist die vordergründige laute Schönheit die leider alles überstrahlt, aber es sind die leisen Töne, die die Musik machen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Andreas, nach so vielen spannenden Informationen über zwei Aspekte deiner Fotografie wäre es noch interessant, wenn du etwas zu dir als Person sagen könntest.</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Ich bin 1965 geboren, in Deutschland, in der Nähe von Giessen zu Hause, bin mit einer sehr verständnisvollen lieben Frau glücklich verheiratet, habe einen grossartigen Sohn und einen interessante Arbeitsstelle an der Universität</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong>&nbsp; Was machst du wenn du in deiner Freizeit nicht gerade fotografierst?</p><p class=""><strong>Andreas Reh:</strong> Ich fahre leidenschaftlich Mountainbike, beschäftige mich mit 3D Design und virtueller Realität am Computer und bin leidenschaftlicher Handwerker in allen Gewerken.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Vielen Dank für diese spannenden Einblicke. <br></p><p class="">Andreas ist zu finden über seine <a href="https://www.andreasreh.de/galerie2.html" target="_blank">Website</a> und auf <a href="https://www.instagram.com/andreasreh_photography/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. </p><p class="">Alle Bilder: © Andreas Reh / Do not copy!

  16288.  <p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Jana, auf deinen Bildern sehe ich Menschen, überwiegend Frauen, denen ich spontan folgende Eigenheiten zuordnen würde: selbstbewusst,  Spaß am Leben und an der eigenen Sexualität. Deine Darstellung wirkt nicht akademisch, wie z.B. Aktzeichnen an der Akademie, sondern frisch und comicmäßig. Kannst du mit dieser Sichtweise etwas anfangen oder wie würdest du deine Arbeiten beschreiben?</p><p class=""><strong>Jana Schoger:</strong> Ja, kann ich. Die weibliche Erotik ist gerade in Gefahr, zum Austragungsort einer woken Genderdebatte zu werden, was leider wie immer darauf hinausläuft, dass sie mit verschiedenen Darstellungsverboten und -geboten belegt wird: So und so darfst du eine Frau dann nicht mehr zeichnen, sonst bist du sexistisch, patriarchal, männlich-verkorkst oder whatever. Ich halte davon gar nichts. Erotik ist ein Zustand äußerster Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung, gerade die weibliche Erotik, und wo diese Freiheit verschwindet oder immer stärker reglementiert und „konsumentenfreundlich“ gemacht wird, sollte man aufmerken und nach den Interessen fragen, die im Spiel sind. Heute ist leider die irrwitzige Erschließung der Kinder als Konsumentengruppe Ursache für eine immer striktere Unterbindung erotischer Darstellungen. Das wird dann gerne als „gemeinsame moralische Standards“ verschwurbelt; in Wahrheit möchte man aber nur Mommy und Daddy nicht verärgern, die offenbar immer noch um die Erregung der sexuellen Fantasie ihrer Kinder weit mehr besorgt sind als um die Ausbeutung und Manipulation von deren Fantasiefähigkeit durch Leute, die völlig nutzlose Dinge verkaufen wollen.&nbsp;</p><p class="">À propos Freiheit: Ich habe null akademische Ausbildung, habe mir alles, was ich kann, selbst beigebracht, durch ständige, jahrelange Übung, das Studium des Körpers und der Künstlerinnen und Künstler, die ich bewundere.</p><p class="">Ich selbst würde meine Arbeit übrigens gar nicht beschreiben, das können andere bestimmt besser. Beschreiben ist außerdem immer der Königsweg zur akademischen Langeweile, oder?</p>

  17026.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin:</strong> Was möchtest du in den nächsten Jahren künstlerisch erreichen?</p><p class=""><strong>Jana Schoger:</strong> Eine Künstlerin, ein Künstler erreicht eigentlich gar nichts, denke ich, sondern etwas erreicht sie oder ihn. Das ist ja auch das Quälende für alle, die als Kreative unter einem berufsmäßigen Planungszwang stehen: dass sie ihre Fantasie, die eigentlich etwas Unverfügbares ist, gewissen Routinen und Erfolgsrezepten unterwerfen müssen. Ich plane so wenig wie möglich, und so lange ich etwas zum Zeichnen habe und dabei glücklich bin, habe ich auch etwas gewonnen.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Was machst du privat gern, wenn du nicht zeichnest?</p><p class=""><strong>Jana Schoger:</strong> Lesen, singen und alte Filme schauen.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Jana, danke für deine Einblicke.</p><p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" class=""></p><p class="">Alle Zeichnungen: © Jana Schoger. / Feedback zum Interview gern <a href="https://thomasberlin.net/contact" target="_blank">hier</a>. </p>

What came first?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>Since I started shooting from the age of 14, so 12 years ago and taking self-portraits only a year ago. Of course, firstly I am a photographer.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>I noticed you as a great nude photographer. Did you have other photographic subjects before? And what do you particularly like about nude photography?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>Yes, definitely I had. For 12 years I was shooting absolutely everything- from subject photography to weddings, birthdays, reportage, etc. So I have tried absolutely everything, but only in art nude did I truly find myself, found my calling. I believe that only through the nude it is possible to show who we are - and we are, first of all, children of nature. This is what I like the most in this genre of photography.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How would you describe your photographic style?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>I take pictures of people without any makeup, clothes, or manicure, I do not retouch people in my pictures, because only without all the tinsel you can show how beautiful a person is. Just a person and a camera, and nothing else. To show something real, something natural - this is the essence of my photography.</p>

  17698.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Your pictures are very beautiful. Is beauty the overall goal of your work or do you have an additional mission? Or a statement that is important to you?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>With my photographs, I help people to love themselves the way nature itself created us, because how could it have created something that is not beautiful? My mission is to show people who they really are so that people stop being afraid of their bodies and stop considering them something bad and something to be ashamed of. My mission is to change the attitude of people towards the body, completely desexualising it and showing that we are just a part of nature, we are its beautiful creation that needs to be loved.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How would you most like to see your images, e.g. in an editorial or on a gallery wall?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>I like to see my works on the walls of galleries, in Times Square (one of my NFT works was shown there). I like to see my photos on the covers of magazines. Since social media are harassing artists like me, showing your works in real the world is very important, because tomorrow your page on Instagram may be deleted again, but your work will continue to hang on the gallery wall.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Do you work more conceptually or spontaneously?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>Most often, of course, I stick to the concept of connecting a human with nature, but sometimes a spontaneous idea comes to mind when, for example, I see some interesting location (like a shooting in a museum with red walls) and I just obey the call of the soul and do what I want :) So I try to never limit myself in creating the art :)</p>

  17821.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How can I imagine a shooting with you? By that I mean the shooting idea, your model selection and working with them, the preparation, the duration another aspects&nbsp;how your shootings usually go.</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>I very rarely work with new models, so getting the shooting with me is quite difficult. I'm already used to working with people whom I know well, I know that they are ready to stand over a cliff, lie on a glacier, and so on for the sake of art. And they do this not because I asked so, but because our views and ideas completely coincide. Often we understand each other without words. The preparation process depends on the idea itself, most often I come to the location, study it and imagine how the shooting will look here. Sometimes the location can be a two or three hours drive one way and getting there is quite problematic, so sometimes the models are consciously and without problems ready to take risks, go somewhere without knowing whether it will be possible to shoot something there, so I really appreciate my models for this, they love adventures no less than I do) Therefore, as I said, it is very important to find not just a “pretty girl” for shooting, but a person close to you in spirit and then be sure you will get an amazing result. The duration of the shooting depends on many factors - who and where I am shooting. Sometimes I can make a good series in 10 minutes, and sometimes it takes an hour if the location is quite difficult or dangerous. But most often I shoot very quickly) Therefore, when going for the shooting, I already clearly know what the result I want to get.</p>

  17944.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Could you please tell me something about how you deal with light?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>Since I’ve given up studio light a long time ago. When I was studying at the Academy of Photography in Warsaw, there were a lot of classes about studio lighting, and this is when I realised that studio light is absolutely not for me. And now I work only with natural light and this is enough for me. And I can't even tell what kind of light I like most - bright direct sunlight or when it's cloudy outside. In all cases, the shots are completely different in terms of mood, you just need to think about what kind of mood you want to show in your photos. For example, when we were shooting on the glaciers in Iceland, it was nighttime there (it doesn’t get dark in Iceland in summer) and therefore the whole sky was overcast and everything around seemed bright blue, like the glaciers themselves, and it was amazing.&nbsp; If it was daytime and there was the sun, the pictures turned out to have a completely different atmosphere. But if talking about artificial light sources, I did several shootings with an ordinary table lamp at home and the pictures turned out to be very intimate. I also like such experiments for a change.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>When are you satisfied with a work or what is a good picture?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>To be honest, the days when I didn’t like what I shoot are long gone. These were the days when I shot something that was not what I had a soul for. And once you find yourself, your style, you are unlikely to not love the result if you tried your best and shot from the heart. For me, a good picture is one that you want to admire, which completely conveys the author’s idea without description and words, which evokes vivid emotions inside and the feeling that this photo is alive. Because sometimes photos do not cause absolutely any emotions, no matter how beautiful this picture is, and sometimes it’s the opposite way, you look at the photo for the first time and want to “gasp” in amazement and return to this photo again and again. A photo should touch, if it doesn’t, then it’s just an ordinary picture, like a million others just like it.</p>

  18067.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Do you have photographic role models? And who or what inspires you in general?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>It may seem strange, but no. There are works that I really like, but most often they are little-known photographers and it can be just a few photos in their portfolio. I am inspired by nature. More than anything, I love to travel and hike in the mountains. After such beauties that your eyes see, it is impossible not to create something beautiful too. Therefore, my source of strength and inspiration is definitely nature and mountains.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How do you see the art market for nude photography? And what influence does the possibly increasing prudery in society and in social media have on this?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>Unfortunately, the oppression of art nude artists is growing more and more. Even in the Renaissance, people portrayed the nude and it was regarded as art. Now, this is regarded as “sexual harassment”, I think everyone saw this inscription when Instagram deletes another harmless photo. Therefore, it is very difficult to say what the market will be for artists like me. I would like to believe that something will change in the minds of people, people will want to be free, and not slaves to the system that dictates to all of us how to treat our own bodies, which Mother Nature gave us. Although sometimes I still think that people working at Meta, were immediately born in clown costumes. That is why for Art nude artists if there is a future, it is in Web3 because Web2 will probably soon prohibit even posting selfies in profile if you are not wearing a veil.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>I would like to briefly address the technique. Which camera and which lens do you like to photograph the most? What other equipment is essential?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>Previously, I had a large number of completely different lenses. I constantly changed them, bought new ones and new ones. There were also Soviet time lenses, which I used through an adapter, by the way, I loved them very much. But when I switched from Nikon to Canon, I had to sell absolutely everything. And now I shoot only on Canon R5 plus Sigma 35 mm. I no longer use anything and no additional equipment. I realised that you can shoot beautifully on anything, even on a phone, the main thing is WHAT you shoot.</p>

  18190.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Of course WHAT you shoot is important but I think the composition before or after the shot&nbsp; expresses how we see the subject or object on the image. Or do you think that it is less important? Do you have a specific approach to compose the image with your valuated subject?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>Previously, I paid a lot of attention to building a composition in a photograph, but at the same time I hardly thought about its fullness (the idea, the meaning that you put into a photo). But now I have come to the conclusion that the fullness of the photograph and its meaning are of the utmost importance. During the shooting, I give myself completely to the process and do not want to think about technical aspects. But when cropping, I pay more attention to composition.</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How does your post processing looks like?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>Since my Camera has really excellent color reproduction, I process photos absolutely minimally. As I said, I do not retouch the skin and body, so sometimes I can add a little more contrast, and make the photo darker or lighter. Most often, my processing consists of cropping, I really love all sorts of details, close-up skin, eyes, and so on, so in 90% of the case, all my processing consists of cropping photos.</p>

  18252.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Because you are also a model, you know both standing behind and in front of the camera.&nbsp; Do these two different experiences help each other?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>To be very honest, I always said that I don’t particularly like being a model. When I take my self-portraits, then I still have the passion of a photographer and the process captivates me, because even in such moments I show myself more as a photographer than a model. But when someone takes photos of me, I can't say that I get too excited about the shooting process. I do this more in order to boost my self-confidence and to get rid of tightness and restrictions in my head. I also do this to better understand the models that I shoot. I want to know how they feel on the other side of the camera) and yes, it really helps me a lot)</p>

  18380.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Self confidence is an important aspect I hear often from models. Which other aspects do you favour and which ones are challenging?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>What attracts me to being a nude model is that it helps me to accept myself and my body. And it’s also very interesting to watch how it changes over the years because in ordinary life you just don’t pay attention to it, but with a photo, things are completely different. It is very interesting to pay attention to the details, to analyse what has changed in you over a certain period of time. Did you feel more confident this time, did you begin to love yourself more, and so on. These are exactly the things that really catch you in nude photography. In general, I see no difficulty in this, except that once again you are being hunted down by social networks with their prehistoric limitations. Otherwise, perhaps, I will not be able to name a single disadvantage in this beautiful genre of photography :)</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>How should photographers deal with models? And do you experience differences between male and female photographers?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>I believe that any photographer must think about the safety and health of his model. I often hear stories about how photographers force their models to get into the ice-cold water, in some mountain lake, for example. If the model feels comfortable at the same time and handles the cold well, then, of course, there is no problem, but if the model says that she is very cold, but the photographer insists, I do not consider this normal and I would never work with such a photographer. And, unfortunately, there are a lot of such cases, when the girls then developed cystitis, or they get a bad cold. Therefore, art is, of course, wonderful, but health is always more important because you can’t buy it for any money. </p><p class="">Personally, I don’t feel the difference between male and female photographers, the main thing is that it is comfortable to work with a person, and it doesn’t matter what gender they are. And to be honest, the girls took pictures of me only twice, all the other photographers were men and I never had any problems related to the fact that they were men. Again, this is probably because I very carefully choose who I work with. If something alarms me in a person already at the time of messaging and discussion of the shooting, I simply decline the shooting with such person and that's it.</p>

  18606.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Can you describe an interesting experience from the model's point of view?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>Probably the most interesting and sad at the same time experience happened to us recently. We were shooting with my husband in a field outside the city where there were only cows. The shooting was in tall grass where you couldn't even see me. And then about 15 minutes later I saw a woman coming down the hill with a stick in her hand. I started dressing up quickly and then I heard her screaming insults at us, threatening to call the police and calling us stupid youngsters. In fact, when you are already 26, and you are called a youngster, it’s even nice :)), but at that moment, of course, I felt terrible, because in response I also said a lot of nasty things to her. But the worst thing is that such situations make you understand how narrow-minded people are in Ukraine, who believe that taking nude photos outside the city in the field is something wildly terrible for which one can come and start insulting a person. To be honest, this was the first time I encountered such a situation, but it gave me even more strength to show people that the human body is not something bad and that we need to continue to introduce the normalisation of the human body into society even more and never give up. The photos still came out beautiful :)</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Do you make a living from photography and modeling? Which part is the most important for you?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>I make money from both. As a model, I never take money for shooting, and most often I do self-portraits because they are what everyone likes the most. But on my Patreon, I show all my works, both as a model and as a photographer. But a photographer's earnings certainly bring a lot more finances outside Patreon.</p>

  18668.  <p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>What are your plans or expectations both as a photographer and as a model for the next few years?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>As a model, I have absolutely no expectations, but as a photographer, I have big plans for the future. Until the end of 2022, my works will be presented at a few more exhibitions in Milan, Barcelona, New York, Miami, and so on. I plan to finally release two Photo Books with my works, the printing of which has been delayed for the time being due to the war in Ukraine. I would very much like to start cooperation with galleries in Europe on a permanent basis. All in all, there are a lot of plans, the hope is that one life is enough for all of them))</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>After so many photo themes, I would be interested to know what you do privately when you are not in front of or behind the camera.</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>In addition to photography, I also make soft toys. For about 5 years I earned money only thanks to my toys, I really loved to invent and create them, but now, unfortunately, I no longer have enough time for this, since photography has replaced almost any other activities in my life. But when I have free time, I do yoga, I love reading books and I love watching movies. From the moment the war began, I actively began to volunteer. My husband and I helped elderly people, people living with disabilities, and animals. Now we have switched more to animals and shelters. In short, it's never boring )</p><p class=""><strong>Thomas Berlin: </strong>Anastasia, thank you so much for your insights. I wish you successful book releases and exhibition, invite me to the Vernissage :)&nbsp; But first of all I hope that the war against your country will end soon. Just as a last point: Do you want to say something else?</p><p class=""><strong>Anastasia Mihaylova: </strong>Thank you very much too and I also really hope so. And of course, it was very interesting to answer your questions and share my thoughts.<br></p><p class="">You find Anastasia both on her <a href="http://mihaylovajpg.com" target="_blank">website</a> and on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mihaylova_jpg2" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. </p><p class="">All images: © Anastasia Mihaylova / Do not copy. </p>

  18784. Fotografen nutzen. Auch wenn diese Zielgruppe für die Verkaufszahlen
  18785. unbedeutend sein dürfte, ist sie für mich die eigentlich interessante. Es
  18786. ist eine wachsende aber immer noch kleine Minderheit, der der künstlerische
  18787. Aspekt wichtig ist. Auch kunsthistorisch ist das nicht ganz uninteressant,
  18788. denn Sotheby's hat bereits mehrfach Polaroids versteigert, z. B. von Robert
  18789. Mapplethorpe, Paolo Roversi und William Wegman. 2010 wurde die
  18790. Sofortbildsammlung der Firma Polaroid von Sotheby's für ca. 12,5 Millionen
  18791. Dollar verauktioniert, was durchschnittlich 26.000 USD pro Polaroidbild
  18792. entsprach. Kunstbuchhandlungen führen immer noch Bildbände mit
  18793. Polaroidbildern. Und deren Zahl wächst, wie Marc Lagrange, Reneé Jacobs,
  18794. Helmut Newton und Ifa Brand zeigten, um nur einige wenige zu nennen.]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class=""><br>Manche Vorurteile sind einfach wahr. Die technische Qualität der Polaroid- oder Instax-Fotos ist schlechter als die der "normalen" Fotos. Das gilt insbesondere für Polaroid-Bilder aber auch für die aktuelle Instax-Familie von Fujifilm. Die Farben sind nicht ganz echt, Detailschärfe und Kontrastumfang sind gering und die Bilder sind klein. Das hält viele Menschen nicht davon ab, Sofortbilder zu machen und etwa 1-2 Euro Filmkosten pro Bild zu akzeptieren. Einige Menschen fühlen sich sogar von der technischen Unzulänglichkeit des Sofortbilds angezogen.</p>

  18917.  <p class="">Die Instax-Kameras von Fuji gehören, gemessen an den verkauften Stückzahlen, zu den erfolgreichsten Kameras auf dem Markt. Google findet über 100 Millionen Einträge für „Polaroid“ und fast 20 Millionen für den vergleichsweise neuen Begriff „Instax“. Auf Instagram gibt es über 9 Millionen „polaroid“-Hashtags und 2 Millionen „instax“-Hashtags. Ich sehe unter anderem zwei Aspekte, die mit zu den Gründen für die (wieder) hohe Bedeutung des Sofortbildes gehören. </p><p class="">Erstens ist die sofortige Verfügbarkeit physischer Bilder verlockend. Denn im Vergleich zu Smartphone-Bildern, die ebenfalls einfach zu teilen sind, ist beim Sofortbild der haptische Aspekt wichtig. Die im Wortsinn greifbare Präsenz und physische Übertragbarkeit des Bildes übertrumpft offenbar das virtuelle Erlebnis, eine (qualitativ viel bessere) Bilddatei via Smartphone zu teilen. Für diese Zwecke eignen sich ebenfalls digitale Speicherformen als Vorstufe für den Betrieb von mobilen Printern für Sofortbildfilm. Ob der Sofortbild-Print auf Basis einer digitalen Ausgangsdatei immer noch dieselbe emotionale Wirkung entfaltet, ist eine andere Frage. Für eine Vertiefung dieses Aspekts ist das Buch "Das Kunstwerk im Zeitalter seiner technischen Reproduzierbarkeit" von Walter Benjamin aus dem letzten Jahrhundert zu empfehlen. </p>

Auch wenn diese Zielgruppe für die Verkaufszahlen unbedeutend sein dürfte, ist sie für mich die eigentlich interessante. Es ist eine wachsende aber immer noch kleine Minderheit, der der künstlerische Aspekt wichtig ist. Auch kunsthistorisch ist das nicht ganz uninteressant, denn Sotheby's hat bereits mehrfach Polaroids versteigert, z. B. von Robert Mapplethorpe, Paolo Roversi und William Wegman. 2010 wurde die Sofortbildsammlung der Firma Polaroid von Sotheby's für ca. 12,5 Millionen Dollar verauktioniert, was durchschnittlich 26.000 USD pro Polaroidbild entsprach. Kunstbuchhandlungen führen immer noch Bildbände mit Polaroidbildern. Und deren Zahl wächst, wie Marc Lagrange, Reneé Jacobs und Ifa Brand zeigten, um nur einige wenige zu nennen.</p>

  19163.  <p class="">Andere Künstler, die Polaroids verwendet hatten, sind Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Stefanie Schneider und Wim Wenders. Andy Warhol ist bekannt für seine Serie von Polaroid-Selbstporträts und Porträts von Prominenten. David Hockney gestaltete eine „Composite Polaroid“-Serie (1982), in der er Segmente einer Szene fotografierte und diese Polaroids zu einer Komposition zusammensetzte. Stefanie Schneiders bevorzugtes Revier ist der amerikanische Westen, der als Location für verblasste und verträumte Filmstills diente. Ihre Fotografien auf abgelaufenen Polaroid-Sofortbildfilmen sind von chemischen Mutationen beeinflusst. Wim Wenders verwendete in seiner Neuerscheinung „Instant Stories“ kommentierte Polaroidbilder als Reisenotizen. </p><p class="">Was machte und macht das technisch oft unzureichende Sofortbild für Künstler überhaupt reizvoll? Die Gründe dürften verschieden sein, so dass ich lediglich meine subjektive Sichtweise zeigen möchte:  Das Sofortbild (die Begriffe Sofortbild, Polaroid oder Instax verwende ich hier synonym) ist physisch einzigartig. Im Gegensatz zu einem digitalen Bild wird es analog belichtet und entwickelt. Auch wenn der Entwicklungsvorgang durch Temperatur beeinflusst werden kann, ist das Bild anschließend kaum noch veränderbar (von physischen Manipulationen wie Emulsion Lift etc. abgesehen).  Natürlich können wir es scannen und eine digitale Datei erzeugen, aber der Scan übernimmt emotional nicht für jeden Rezipienten die Rolle des physischen Originals. Die Alleinstellung des alleinigen Polaroid-Originals entfällt auch bei bestimmten Sofortbildkameras, die Bilder digital speichern, optimieren und schließlich beliebig viele Mehrfachausdrucke auf Sofortbildfilm ermöglichen. Das ist praktisch, hat aber nicht den „Kunstwerk“-Charakter eines einzigartigen Fotos, mit dem der Betrachter manchmal emotional mehr verbunden ist als lediglich mit dem auf dem Bild Sichtbaren. </p>

  19247.  <p class="">Polaroid- und Instaxbilder haben den typischen Rahmen, der auch für Bildunterschriften und Signaturen verwendet werden kann. Insbesondere damit kann man die Stimmung, die mit Polaroids verbunden sein soll, verstärken. Denn die direkte analoge Belichtung, gefolgt von der Signatur des Fotografen oder Models, bedeutet eine physisch greifbare Einzigartigkeit der Arbeit. Wie einzigartig das Motiv oder die Komposition jeweils ist, ist eine andere Frage und natürlich kompensiert die Einzigartigkeit nur selten eventuell fehlende Bildinhalte oder Gestaltungsdefizite.</p><p class="">Die Unmöglichkeit einer nachträglichen Manipulation des Originals macht diese Art von Foto zu einem unveränderlichen Ergebnis. Das entstandene Bild ist Entwicklungszufällen von (evtl. abgelaufenen) Filmen, Licht- und Kälteeinflüssen ausgesetzt. Vielleicht also das perfekte Filmmaterial für Menschen mit Hang zu schicksalhaften Szenen?</p>

  19359.  <p class="">Der Begriff „technische Unzulänglichkeit“ ist für Romantiker vielleicht etwas zu hart, um die technische Qualität zu beschreiben. Ich versuche es daher so: weich, magisch, mysteriös, nebulös, interpretierend, zufällig, bezaubernd, unerwartet, alternative Farben, schicksalhaft, einzigartig, wetterabhängig. Dabei steht nicht die exakte Kopie des Motivs im Vordergrund, sondern vielmehr geht es um Stimmung und Zufall. Der Überraschungseffekt der chemischen Entwicklungsprozesse (bei Polaroids eher meiner Meinung nach volatiler als bei Instax) wird zumindest in Kauf genommen, meist sogar gewollt.</p>

  19471.  <p class="">Für mich ist auch die Handhabung nach der Aufnahme ein Bestandteil der Sofortbildfotografie. Denn in meinen Model Shootings mache ich oft auch einige Polaroids und binde manchmal das Model nach dem Shooting ein, indem das Model das Bild signiert oder ein Statement auf den Rahmen schreibt. Damit unterstreicht es den einzigartigen Charakter des Fotos, wie oben bereits ausgeführt. Wenn anstelle des Fotografen plötzlich das Model signiert, nimmt sich der Fotograf bewusst etwas zurück und das Model prägt das finale Bild stärker mit. Nicht nur durch das Posing während des Shootings, sondern auch danach durch die Signatur verleiht das Model dem Bild zusätzlich Persönlichkeit.</p>

  19583.  <p class="">Wo es auf Details und dokumentarische Zwecke ankommt, sind Sofortbilder natürlich weniger geeignet. Daher sprechen wir hier nur über die kreativen Aspekte. Die Wirkung von Sofortbildern ist motiv- und kontextabhängig. Wie andere Formen der Fotografie betrachte ich die Sofortbildtechnik als eines von mehreren Werkzeugen, aber nicht als Religion und Selbstzweck. Abhängig von den Zielen des Fotografen passt ein Werkzeug mal mehr und mal weniger. Es auch richtig, unterschiedliche Werkzeuge zu nutzen. Wenn das Bild z. B. durch den Polaroidlook verbessert werden soll oder auf den Zauber chemischer Zufallsprozesse gesetzt wird, kann ein Sofortbild der richtige Weg sein. Zudem ist im kreativen Bereich eine rein sachliche Betrachtung eher hinderlich. Denn ohne Emotion und Stimmung ist das Instant-Abenteuer wahrscheinlich zum Scheitern verurteilt. Mit Emotion und Stimmung jedoch stehen uns mit der Sofortbildfotografie zusätzliche Wege neben der "normalen" Fotografie offen. </p><p class="">Weitere Beispiele meiner Polaroid-Fotografie sind <a href="https://thomasberlin.net/polaroids" target="_blank">hier</a> zu finden.
