Welcome
Something about me:
Hi, I'm Karin, a passionate photographer from Germany. I don't earn my living with photography, I take pictures out of passion.
It has fascinated me since I was a child, when I loved using my father's and uncle's cameras.
Photos capture memories, immortalise loved ones and beautiful moments that we don't want to forget.
Photos make time stand still and can revive the past when you look at them.
Photography is a wonderful way of capturing a moment in life forever and preserving it as it is.
Image editing is also important for me to get my message for the photo across, to evoke emotions and to stimulate the imagination when looking at a photo. If it works I'm happy.
I like many types of photography, including people photography. For me it is important to avoid "stand - smile - click" photos. People should look natural and relaxed. I like photos that are taken casually and naturally at a specific moment.
Especially I love photographing abandoned places. They radiate a tremendous fascination for me. It's like being immersed in another world. In some places you can literally feel the past. You can even smell the scent of times gone by.
Although the camera is not the most important thing, I am fascinated by the advances in camera technology in recent years and love testing and trying out new cameras of different brands and types.
There are so many things worth capturing.
Collect moments, not things.
