Event Photography | Tattoo Convention | Berlin

Right at the end of last year I covered the 22nd International Tattoo Convention for a news agency in the UK. The Convention took place in the cavernous Treptow Arena where, only a few weeks before, I'd seen Bon Iver play. But on this visit no delicate music was to be heard, only the buzzing of hundreds of tattoo machines in the hands of their artists.

There were several tattoo contests over the three days along with a tattoo queen competition, bands, geisha dances, and burlesque performances. The highlight (for me at least) was the Superfly Suspension Crew who hung off each other, swinging over the crowd, suspended from hooks pushed through the flesh of their backs and legs.

Berlin Fotografen

Ich bin up on the Berlin Fotografen blog. Some great photographers based in this city so it's nice to be up there with some of them.

Event Photography | French Film Week part 2 | Berlin

Featuring the filmgoers.

Once again at the Kino International, and the original title is 'De Rouille et de l'Os', or 'Rust and Bone'. Tis the new film from director Jacques Audiard who made the excellent 'A Prophet' a few years back.

Portraits: Sridhar

Sridhar, a musician from India, asked me to take some portraits for him to send out with the promotional material for his soon-to-be-completed album. I thought it could be good to lightpaint him - which would be in keeping with the ambient quality of his music - and he liked the idea.

So we spent an evening with my camera and a few different kinds of light, drinking whiskey and listening to records (dankeschon Sridhar!), and here's a taste of the results:

Event Photography | French Film Week Part 1 | Berlin

A few shots from and by the red carpet at the Kino International in Berlin. The Film, Populaire, opened French Film Week. It stars Romain Duris and Deborah Francois, and is directed by Regis Roinsard.

Wedding Photographer in Berlin

Finally, after quite a bit of tinkering, my new wedding photography website is up and running. So now I have a site for editorial/travel/commercial work, and a separate one that's purely for weddings and engagements.

Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves Berlin

Third Impressions of Deutschland

As much as I've been enjoying taking photos of my new home with an iPhone, I probably won't be posting any more of those photos here unless I choose to jabber a bit about the iPhone camera as a device, as itself.

These photos were taken while wandering back and forth across Berlin, with a lot of time looking at art, architecture, and the sky. All of which are here, and all of which I like about here.

Cologne

I was only in Cologne for a day, and it rained for most of that. But here are some shots from the wee wedges of time between the showers.

Second Impressions of Deutschland

Here are some more photos from my phone that I've taken while discovering the neighbourhoods of (mainly) the east of Berlin.

I'm not jet-lagged anymore, and I still don't totally know where I am, but a map of the place is starting to take shape and favourite areas are beginning to colour in their positions. And to that infant map I say - "I like your lines. I like your bold colours. I like your graffiti. I like your drinking on the street and everywhere else. I like your cafes, and I like the strange things you leave lying around".
