Event Photography | Huawei | Berlin
It's been a while since I posted owt to this blog. Busy times. So busy that my left eyelid has started to tremble from staring into the camera and at the editing screen. Thus, few words, just photos.
These from an event at the Soho House for Huawei, introducing their new Watch to Berlin. Thanks to the good folks at HK Strategies for having me along.

Lichtgrenze | Berlin
At the beginning of November, Berlin celebrated the 25th since the Wall came down. Its route was marked by a ring of illuminated balloons, which were released on the day of the Mauerfall, the 9th.
I'm only putting up pre-balloon release photos as, although the moment was moving, the slow release, one-by-one, of unlit balloons into the night sky wasn't quite as spectacular as I'd imagined it. Those pictures look like the darker ones of this selection, but with less balloons. Picture that if you can.

Wedding | Berlin | Germany: Gard & Bitte
These shots are from an intimate ceremony at the Nordic Embassy in Berlin, and locations nearby. Gard, from Norway, and Bitte, from Sweden, popped over to Berlin for a few days to marry (and shop for vinyl) before heading back to Oslo for a weekend party for friends and family.
It was a fun shoot and I wish them both health, happiness, and good tunes for their future together!

Wedding | Bernau | Germany: Elliot & Simone
At the end of August I photographed the wedding of Elliot and Simone, a lovely couple from Canada and Deutschland. The ceremony was at the Rathaus Bernau, and the reception was at the Villa Biesenthal, a modern building with an old, stucco facade.
It was grand, and a privilege to be there to document their special day for them among their friends and family.

Location Scouting | Berlin
If there's anything my long, illustrious photography career has taught me, it's to be prepared if you have the chance. Although one of the many joys of the job is to parachute (or be parachuted) into a situation blind, with only your wits and eyes to save you, there's nowt wrong with saving yourself the sweat beads if you can.
A case in point: portrait sessions. It's always worth scouting locations to get an idea of backgrounds, foregrounds, aspect, texture, pattern, shape, direction, form, place and the like, to get inspiration for the shots you want to take. Then you feel calmer. You can sleep on your ideas and allow them to marinate. And you can begin to worry in a professional manner about the weather being different to when you scouted.
In any case, while out scouting, there are photos to take, too. And if that sounds obvious, it's because these are photos:

Belgium | Antwerp
I was only in Antwerp for an hour or so in the early morning on my way to the countryside, but it made quite an impression on me. Even at 8am it possessed some serious seed, well, at least the area around Centraal Station did. Two things, Antwerp: 1) I like your railway station very much, and would marry it if I was also a railway station, and 2) I would like to come back and spend more time in your company, for you intrigue me.
