HAMBURG
In December 2017 I went to Hamburg to visit my friend-photographer Lucia Bartl, meet with a photo agency and show my series about the Shamans Of Siberia to one magazine.
Hamburg was the first German city that I have visited when I first traveled to Germany as a kid in the year 1994. My father was working there for a few years before moving to Bochum. The last year I have visited Hamburg three times, but only in December 2017, I finally had one day free to explore the city.
The temperature was probably around +1 degree Celsius - cold, gray and snowy. The strong wind moves the clouds in Hamburg fast. As opposed to the North Rhine-Westphalia, where the clouds mostly don't have visible structure, the sky in Hamburg appears as dynamic and dramatic.
On that trip I took only one lens with me: Sony Zeiss 24mm 1.8 (SEL-24F18Z), that equals the 35mm lens. There were moments where I wished I could have a tele-lens with me, but sometimes gear limitations make the game more fun. A friend of mine, German travel photographer Patrick Wendt, who travels the world over the last two years, at the beginning of his journey used the Fuji X100 with the fixed 35mm 2.0. Due to that limitation Patrick, in my opinion, developed a recognizable style. So, sometimes less is more.
