Visum Fotoschule - my first workshop

I'm excited and it's official: together with my German agents Visum and their Photo-school, we have now launched my first workshop project proposed for this autumn. From 1st to 5th October, I will be leading a 5-day visit to one of my favourite places, the Vysocina region of the Czech Republic. 


Although landscape and travel photography are the focus of this workshop, course participants will have significant influence over the final subject choices. More infos here (in German), but watch this space for an English workshop description.

A short slideshow of what you can expect is below:

The Silk Investor: Zin Bekkali

Last month I had a short but pleasant portrait assignment with a young entrepreneur called Zin Bekkali. He's the CEO and founder of Silk Invest, an upstart city firm investing in the lesser know markets of the former trade routes.

Sympathetic, energetic and a mix of cultures, Zin was easy to photograph and a pleasure to meet. Below are a few selects from the encounter - and I am curious to see which my client at Frankfurter Allgemeine picked.
