unknown woman

I saw this woman some time ago standing in front of a bank talking on the phone somewhere in midtown, but when I wanted to take a picture, she suddenly went away. Because I thought she was interesting to photograph I started to follow her for a while, but lost her after a few minutes… Too bad… But then, 6 blocks later I saw her again on Broadway lighting her cigarette secretly having her face turned towards the wall and I took this picture.

Shoot for GQ Germany

Some weeks ago I shot a small story for the current issue of GQ Germany. I went to Pittsburgh, Pensilvania to photograph Paul C. Mawhinney, the man with the largest record collection in the world. Paul owns more than 3,5 Million records. Due to his diabetes he became half blind and therefore decided to sell all his records. The new owner will turn the collection into a museum.

Customs Officer

This is the customs chief at a Lao-Thai border crossing. He is trying to figure out if i have enough stamps and signatures to take pictures there. (After a few hours it was ok…) I liked the way he tried to preserve order in his chaotic office.
