This is the third cover I secured in the last week. When it rains it pours, I guess…
This one features lifestyle guru Danny Seo and former model, actress and founder of Weelicious Catherine McCord. We shot this in Los Angeles in Catherine’s kitchen after strolling the Hollywood farmers market for a few hours one morning.
It got a little weird when I received this one just days after seeing the cover of STERN with my younger son and town of heritage in Austria on it. This is my older son on the cover of the main newspaper of Berlin, the city I was born and raised in. Both kids, both places of personal, historical significance for me. Kinda weird.
It allowed me to make a joke about the kids competing for European magazine covers 😂
This photo was shot for stock here in Santa Barbara.
Super excited for this one! German STERN magazine put one of my photos on their cover recently. The image features my younger son overlooking the town of my heritage, Bludenz, in Vorarlberg, Austria. We were on an overnight hike when I took this photo at the Frassenhuette (hut). There may be photos of myself at this age (6) sitting right there.
Having the cover of STERN is amazing by itself but the fact that it not only features my son but also the town of Bludenz is just ridiculously awesome. The cover on the previous issue featured Joe Biden 😊
Here are two recent covers of national magazines with my images on them. Pretty stoked, I have to say! The Washington Post Magazine cover was shot remotely, via FaceTime and other video chat applications during lock down. When I started my FaceTime portrait project I sure didn’t anticipate ending up on the cover of the Washington Post mag. Another great example of jumping off a cliff, figuring out how to fly on the way down and landing in paradise… I guess. It just shows that sticking your neck out usually leads to something. All the images for this article and my project Apart/Together, which features subjects from around the globe, were photographed while I was at home in Santa Barbara. Times are changing and technology is speeding up that change in a scary way.
The Naturally cover was photographed in Minneapolis. No idea did I have that just a few months later the city would become the epicenter of a powerful resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement.
On that note: I was always fascinated by the change that occured in the United States in the 60’s. People standing up for their rights and changing things. It was part of what made me want to immigrate here. Our current situation reminds of that time and seeing people fight for their rights in the streets as well as in the media again is inspiring!
