My Photos are live now! It was quite a challenge to choose the ones I wanted to present online. When you have several photos that look almost the same it is hard to decide which one is the best. I hope I made the right choice and I hope you enjoy looking at them. Criticism (or compliments for that matter ;) can be filed under comments.
The documentation shots – for a peek behind the scenes/cameras – are still online and available here now.
If you find a photo that you like in particular and you like to get a higher resolution version of it (i.e. for printing) or you like to see more photos of one particular model/motif, don’t hesitate to contact me. Several means of communication are available here.
Of course I want to talk about the festival real quick.
As it was my first bodypainting festival ever, I can’t compare it to any similar event, or the one from last year. Still I must say, I am impressed! First of all the organization was excellent! Like I said: I have no comparison, but when the veteran photographers also see it that way, it must be true. I have to make one exception though: the hotel. Someone did manage to give us a single room instead of a double room, so I had to sleep on the floor!
The festival itself had plenty to offer for us photographers: a very nice photo area, patient models and tasty food in the Künstler Cafe (artist cafe). ;)
The models – after the artists were finished with their living artwork – had to present themselves to the jury. After they were judged and photographed for documentation, they moved on to the photo area, where only models and photographers had access! Yay! It was quite a scramble sometimes, but after all, everybody got his shot. It was really nice to see so many other photographers in action. I learned a whole lot of things during these two days. (Especially that I want a 70-200mm lens! The bazooka! as Sven called it)
Thanks again to the models for their patience! ;)
I hope I have the opportunity to be there again next year!
