Event Photography

Among photographers, the documentation of events of all kinds is often mistakenly seen as a not really serious task. For me, however, it is a threefold challenge. Firstly, to capture a moment in time – everything is in motion and nothing should be missing. Secondly, a constant game of rapidly altering perspectives – far and near, overview and detail, now or a tenth of a second later. Thirdly, simultaneous relaxation and tension – since you seldom need to act beyond the actual photographing, you are simply the buddy of your camera for the day. But since people usually want their pictures almost immediately, only optimal planning and efficiency in photography and elaboration can save you. I am very happy to take on such assignments because they always present a fresh challenge.
