My Diary – Follow Me

  • a little teaser

    Here’s a little teaser: the Voigtländer Heliar 40mm f/2.8 mounted on the Rayqual M mount adapter. More pictures and my first impressions in the coming days. Right now, I’m trying to get familiar with the feel of the camera and lens but also with the FP L’s software. I can say the feeling is really different from the Ricoh GR III.

  • Setup complete

    After more than a month of waiting, I now have everything I need for my Sigma FP L + Voigtländer Heliar 40mm setup! Now the first thing I’m going to do will be to print a depth of field table for the Heliar and memorize it cause it’s going to be a purely manual experience. The second thing will be to peruse the SIGMA FP L menu map PDF to get used to the new software more quickly. You can expect photos of the gear and my impressions next week.

    You can see on the left (from the top): a Marumi 34mm UV filter, a Rayqual L-M mount adapter, the Heliar in M mount. The memory card is a 32GB Lexar Gold 2000x.

  • Cover of my upcoming book

    My first art project as an artist-photographer is my upcoming book. Right now, I’m busy completing the final prototype. It’s my first book so it’s quite a challenge, I probably have more white hairs now… You can see a draft of the front cover (right) and back cover (left). I’ve poured my soul into it, I’m impatient to get it ready and present it to you.

My Art Projects

Art Project #1

Status: working on it right now!

A big, beautiful black-and-white book about Paris pictured in a personal, human, and often emotional, manner. This will be different from the glamour clichés you’re used to when it comes to Paris.

Random Anecdotes About Me

Photography isn’t a hobby for me. I feel lucky that I’ve found my calling. Something to hang on to in this stupid world. You know, something that brings me peace of mind, hope and a feeling of self-accomplishment. So, I took a full commitment and registered as an artist photographer in August 2023. Read how I met photography.
