Photos “I,OBJECT” Exhibition

Last weekend, about 400 people came to see our “I, OBJECT” show in Duesseldorf-Oberkassel @ the Gloria-Halle (the panorama above shows the installation in the main hall). For us, it was a great experience to put this show together and present some young, high-quality portraiture to a broader audience.Again thank you to all our friends, familes and sponsors who helped us make “I, OBJECT” happen!

Synchronised diving: Sascha Klein wins olympic silver medal

During the last months I worked on a sports portfolio that shows some of the best german athletes who start in Peking at the 2008 olympiad right now.

End of June, I photographed divers in Aachen (from left to right: Sascha Klein, Norman Becker and Pavlo “Pawel” Rozenberg). 2 days ago, Sascha Klein won in Peking the silver medal in the men’s 10 m synchronized final with his partner from Berlin, Patrick Hausding – congratulations!!

And there are some more competitions coming up next week where Sascha Klein will start again, also together with Pawel Rozenberg. Good luck guys!!!

Furthermore, I photographed Helena Fromm (Taek-won-do), Rustam Rahimov (Boxing) and Oksana Chusovitina (gymnastics).  I’ll try to put more photos online by the end of the months, but first I will leave for the alps now for a couple days…
