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.

Event Photography | Google Play | Berlin

I was hired by Gramafilm to cover Google's recent Playtime event at the Malzfabrik in Berlin. Twas a day of conferences, workshops and networking in a vast location which normally serves as a nightclub. Games were played and made and, towards the end, powerful drinks were drunk.

Old Iraqi Embassy | Berlin

The old Iraqi Embassy was abandoned at the beginning of 1991. That is all. You can read more about it on this fine blog. And here, below, are some of the sights your eyes might see if you put them there.

Wrocław | Poland

Wrocław rocks. This is definitely not the first time someone has said that, therefore not the first time someone has got it wrong. Not that Wrocław doesn't rock. It does, very much. But it's not pronounced 'rock-law', rather 'vros-woff', or something close to that.

Whatever the perfect pronunciation is, tis a swell place, and I'll be back there soon. Especially to you, Armine, to eat of your homely fare under the train tracks. Please set the table for me, I won't be long.

Leipzig | Germany

I went to Leipzig in the winter, when all was black and white. The city was way more derelict than I had expected, but in between the broken houses is a fun place in possession of hidden corners, smoky bars, monumental monuments, art, and a restaurant serving the best hummus I've ever had the good fortune to place on my tongue. I hope to go back one summer and shoot it in colour.

Quelle | Germany

One from a wee local station in Deutschland's west. The sun was setting o'er the tracks on which a train retreated. You don't need me to tell you that, though. Look.

Berlin Image Dump

I'd like to have thought of a cleaner name for this post, but it is what it is, which is a pipeline-clearing cascade of images of Berlin taken over the period of a year or more.

Ballhaus Riviera, Grunau

These shots are from a touch of location scouting for an engagement shoot, in the south-east of the city at the Ballhaus Riviera. It was built during the time of the Weimar Republic, and was in use up until around 1990. Since then, it's been left to rot and is falling, bit by bit, to bits.

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.
