This article is about the relationship between aperture, shutter speed and ISO value. Correct exposure can only be achieved if all three settings are coordinated.

The camera sensor records the image information and is therefore the most important part of the camera. There are different sensors in different sizes and with different resolutions (megapixels). I explain how these variables interact in the following article.

Do you remember physics lessons when optics and light were on the timetable? That was one of the few topics that should have been memorized, because when it comes to photography, this topic becomes important again.

The gradations in brightness between the brightest point of a subject and the darkest point are called the contrast range. In this article, I explain what this is all about and why the eye is superior to any camera.

When do I use JPG and when do I use the RAW format? Do I really have to decide and what are the advantages and differences? A comparison and my personal recommendation.

At the latest when you want to consciously shape your light, you need freedom, then it’s time for the flash to come off the camera.

Flashing is not a game of chance – if you know when your flash fires, how much light it provides and how your camera settings affect it, you have the image in your hands

In photography, it’s not just that you have light, but the quality of it. And you can influence this – especially with a flash.

Anyone can flash at night – real professionals get the flash out at 12:00 noon!

Does a photo look better in color or in black and white? Is black and white photography only for nostalgics or is it automatically art if I leave out the color? When is it advisable to use color and when black and white?

The golden ratio describes the image division that is perceived as harmonious. I explain here how to calculate this division and when you should and should not use it.

In order to break the rules, you first have to understand them. Our perception of photos and images is not random; it often follows learned and culturally influenced patterns. Creativity begins where we reinterpret these rules – but that presupposes that we have first understood them.

How do the different focal lengths differ from each other? Does a telephoto lens bring objects closer together and why do you see more with a wide-angle lens? With a simple experiment, you can try all this out without a camera.

I mainly use the aperture to control the depth of field. Depending on whether the aperture is open or closed, I get different image effects. You can find out why this is the case and what results I can achieve with it in practice in this article.

In the article “Correct exposure” I explained the dependence of time, aperture and ISO. In most cases, too little light is the problem. When it gets dark, either the ISO value has to be set higher, the aperture opened wider or the shutter speed increased. No matter which wheel you turn, it always has an […]

Foresighted action at rallies is essential, especially when two camps clash and conflict seems inevitable. As a photojournalist, I should remain neutral – which I sometimes succeed in doing to a greater or lesser extent. But even when the adrenaline is pumping, it is crucial to keep a cool head.

A press card is an important work tool for many journalists. It serves as proof of journalistic activity and facilitates access to certain events, press conferences or restricted areas. However, not every journalist is automatically entitled to a press card, and there are numerous misunderstandings about its meaning and use. In this article, you will […]

(March 2021) I put my equipment together depending on the job and the situation. Lately, however, I’ve been tending to take as little as possible with me. Especially when I’m taking photos on the street and at public events, it’s been a good idea for me to leave my big cameras and lenses at home. […]
