thomas graichen photography

lately i started to pick up the camera a bit more often than all the months before - this is from last sunday, which has been a wonderful sunny autumn day ...

this one is from one of my first portrait sessions after the workshop with alexander veledzimovich in autumn last year - tomorrow (saturday 18.4.2015) you would have the rare chance to participate this workshop once more in case you are in berlin - aff gallery, 1-5pm: lecture (20 euro) - more info here: http://ift.tt/1EGIhTK ... this photo is (c) thomas graichen: http://ift.tt/172U5wY http://ift.tt/14QsStB

in case you are in berlin right now, you should not miss the portrait workshop with alexander veledzimovich this weekend (18.+19.4.2015) http://ift.tt/1EGIhTK i participated in autumn last year and can only highly recommend it in case you are interested in portrait photography beyond just makeing nice images of beautiful people ... the workshop consists of a lecture on saturday (20 euro) and a practical day on sunday (80 euro together with the lecture on saturday) and is focussed far beyond technical topics ... this image is by the way a last one from last year and from before the workshop - thanks to jana ... ... this photo is (c) thomas graichen: http://ift.tt/172U5wY http://ift.tt/14QsStB

in autumn 2014 i participated at the workshop "only memory" on the anatomy of a portrait by alexander veledzimovich from belarus in berlin and that quite opened my eyes and gave a lot of new input in the direction of portraits to me ... why do i say all this? next weekend you'll have the rare chance to participate at that workshop once more in case you are in berlin. more information about the workshop can be found here: http://www.aff-galerie.de/Only-Memory-Workshop-April-2015 and some more information about alexander veledzimovich can be found here: http://cargocollective.com/veledzimovich and a lot more if you search a bit for him on the net ... by the way: this image actually is from the time before the workshop, but stay tuned for more portraits here: one more from before and lots more from after the workshop ... ... this photo is (c) thomas graichen: http://www.thomasgraichen.net … follow me on my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/thomas.graichen.photography

another one from the dance project from autumn last year - its slowly getting warm enough again to eventually continue to work with dance and places ... again a lot of thanks to yasmin beckers for the nice collaboration ... this photo is (c) thomas graichen: http://www.thomasgraichen.net … follow me on my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/thomas.graichen.photography

most probably the last of the rescanned metropolis images - once more from paris ... ... this photo is (c) thomas graichen: http://ift.tt/172U5wY … follow me on my facebook page: http://ift.tt/14QsStB

more from my rescanning of the negatives of the my metropolis project - this one is from lisbon ... ... this photo is (c) thomas graichen: http://ift.tt/172U5wY … follow me on my facebook page: http://ift.tt/14QsStB

something not directly related to my own photography, but i definitely would like to recommend this warmly to everyone deeper interested in portrait photography: on april 18th and 19th alexander veledzimovich will be in berlin and give a workshop on portrait photography once more ... i participated this workshop in autumn of last year and for me it was quite an eye opener ... the workshop is not at all dealing with technical aspects like f-stops or cameras etc., but gives a very good and well structured analysis of alexanders approach to portraits and there is really a lot to learn from it ... so maybe mark it in your calendar and contact the given address to get a seat as long as they are available ... the image on the flyer is (c) alexander veledzimovich

another image rescanned during the last days - it is from my metropolis project from some years ago, where i tried to build an abstract fictional metropolis, a bit inspired by fritz langs movie from the 20s, made up of various nowadays cities - london in this case ... this and the following images were all shot with the extremely simple holga camera ... ... this photo is (c) thomas graichen: http://ift.tt/172U5wY … follow me on my facebook page: http://ift.tt/14QsStB
