Nicht jedes gute Porträt zeigt nur ein Gesicht.
Manchmal erzählen Hände mehr über einen Menschen als seine Augen.
Sie tragen Spuren der Arbeit, der Zärtlichkeit, der Zeit.
Eine Geste, ein Griff, eine Falte – das ist Biografie in Bewegung.
Hände lügen nicht.
Sie sind das zweite Gesicht.

📸 Who inspires a photojournalist?
I get asked this question often, so I’ve finally written a blog post about it.

I admire these photographers deeply: some are colleagues I’ve worked alongside, others I’ve followed for years, and a few I’ve never met but whose work continues to shape visual journalism at its best.

From breaking news to long-form storytelling, red carpet to refugee camps, their work always teaches me something.

Swipe through, and check the full post on my blog.

Not every lens is about perfection.

Some are about soul, flaws, and a certain kind of magic that modern glass just doesn’t give you.

This was shot with one of my favourite vintage Russian lenses — a Helios 44 — mounted on my Leica. Softness, swirls, character... exactly what I love for personal work and storytelling photography.

I just published a new blog post about why I use old Soviet lenses on my Leica M10, M6 and M3 — and why these imperfect tools still matter today.
