Having been away over the festive period, I was completely taken by the clarity of the sky one night in Austria. I did not have a lot of time to find the best location and settings to take a photograph, but here is one of my favourites.

Yesterday I had planned to take a photographic walk with a friend in London. As it became apparent that the weather situation was not in our favour, we have found the perfect place to spend some time with photography. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has a lot of great objects which you can photograph and you are allowed to do so. I have added a few shots from the days adventures in my galleries, which even features some photographs of the worlds most feared creature. To view the gallery, please click the image below.

A slightly eerie video of different shots combined with a composition ‘wounded’ from Kevin Mc Leod.

I had a photoshoot a couple of weeks ago, taking pictures of my friends just recently born twins. The shoot was amazing and the little ones were really motivated and appeared to love the bright light of the modelling lights. Below is one of my favourite photographs.

Seems like I am gradually converting this site into one specializing in cat portaiture. Not really, but I have to say they make great subjects to photograph, as they are completely unpredictable. But still once you had your lucky moment you will be able to recognize their particular character.

I always believe in having a camera ready to react to any quick opportunity taking a great photograph. I believe this was one of those moments, when our cat  was just going through a cleaning routine on the sofa. I just finished a shoot 20 minutes before and still had all the lights set up. I hope you enjoy….

I have decided to participate in this years Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2010. The image below is my submission, which got into the second selection for the exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London.

The image title is: Tamara, a pefume addict. This image belongs to a series, which will hopefully be exhibited soon. I will keep you updated.
