Fern:Sicht are 7 Photographers from Germany who came together to exhibit their Bachelors Project on the 08.04.16 in Cologne, Germany.
Here is the Webiste and the Facebook Event.
Der Alltag amerikanischer Ureinwohner im Reservat, Stalinanhänger in Georgien oder das Porträt einer ostwestfälischen Dorfstruktur. Diese und andere Geschichten präsentieren sieben Fotografiestudenten der FH Dortmund in ihrer Absolventen-Ausstellung FERN:SICHT ab dem 08.04.2016 im Alten Pfandhaus, Köln.
Es sind Geschichten über Menschen, die verschiedener kaum sein könnten. In fotografischen Essays und Porträts widmen sich die Fotografen nicht nur dem Blick in die Ferne, sondern werfen auch einen Blick auf das Leben vor unserer Tür. FERN:SICHT zeigt die historische Spurensuche, die Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Herkunft, dem Leben und Menschsein und experimentiert mit Formen zeitgenössischer Fotografie sowohl analog als auch digital.
Die sieben Künstler sind Fotografiestudenten der FH Dortmund unter der Betreuung von Prof. Dirk Gebhardt. Neben mehrfachen internationalen und nationalen Publikationen u.a. im Spiegel, New Yorker, CNN haben die Studenten bereits diverse Preise gewonnen.
Gezeigt werden Arbeiten von:
- Benedikt Ziegler
- Felix von der Osten
- Jasper Bastian
- Jan Düfelsiek
- Jann Höfer
- Martin Lamberty
- Sebastian Hopp

GOMMA PHOTOGRAPHY GRANT 2015. SHORTLISTED PHOTOGRAPHERS.
The Jury has completed the first voting stage and 25 photographers have been shortlisted. The first, second and third place winner will be announced this Friday, 15th January 2016. http://www.gommamag.com/grant/
We would like to point out the fact that the quality of the work submitted was outstanding and it has been a very hard task selecting these 25 shortlisted photographers. There were many other photographers that we would have liked to include within the shortlisted, but we had to narrow it down to just 25.
My Project got Featured on the Photographic Museum of Humanity! Check it out here.

Me infront of my printed pictures at the Felix Schoeller Photo Award in Osnabrück. I got nominated for the best Emerging Photographer but sadly didn't win. Though it was an awesome day and the museum style exhibition was great. I talked to cool people and even the snacks were great ☺️ overall it was an awesome day because my family was with me!
As some people know I started to photograph at Fort Belknap an Indian Reservation in Montana last year. Since then I returned for the summer and had an absolute breathtaking and wonderful time. This project will turn into my Bachelor Thesis very soon. I'm constantly working on the new pictures and hope to turn them into a book and exhibition around February/ March. So stay tuned for the future. Cool stuff is coming.

For those of you who don’t know EAW, each year 100 students from all over the world are selected based on their portfolios to come and join the barnstorm to meet top editors and photographers for 4 days in Jeffersonville, NY. We were divided into 10 teams of 10 students all led by a teamleader, an editor, a producer and a tech. Every group would then produce bodys of work based on a shared theme. We also listen to countless presentations and lectures from photographers and sponsors. One of the best parts was the 11:30 club, a two night portfolio review for us by professionals in the industry. It was an amazing oppertunity to meet countless photo editors and photographers.
I was very happy and honored to join the Turquoise Team lead by the legendary Ruth Fremson of the New York Times, our team editor Colin Crawford of the Los Angeles Times, our team producer Eric Thayer and our incedible Tech Pete Kiehart.

On the second day we all had to head out and start shooting our assigments found by Eric. I was assigned to go to the Bethel Motor Speedway to photograph a portrait series with a focus on workers at the track. Pro Foto USA borrowed me two B1 heads and an amazing assistent J.T. It was an amazing fun day with a lot of portraits. I even sufaced on various Instagram accounts ;) Stay tuned for the pictures soon...
After a couple hours of photographing our assignments amazing chief Ruth Fremson picked us up and as we were driving we passed the memorial of the first Woodstock festival. It was amazing. We got out of the car and snapped an epic selfie. ( Stuart, Sophia, Me, Ruth, Jeremy)
