Available Light – Night Photography
These photos were taken at night using only the light that was already present: from streetlights, windows, or other natural and artificial sources. This technique is known as available light photography.
Instead of using a flash, I worked with the existing atmosphere to capture authentic light and shadow. Due to the low light, I used long exposures and lenses with wide apertures to let in as much light as possible.
A tripod was often necessary to avoid camera shake and ensure sharp results, especially when working with longer exposure times.
Macro Photography
These photos show small subjects up close: things we often overlook in everyday life. Macro photography makes the tiny details visible, whether it’s the texture of a leaf, the structure of an insect, or the surface of an object.
To get this close, I used a macro lens that allows sharp focus at very short distances.
Lighting and focus are especially important in macro photography, as even the smallest movement can blur the image. Sometimes I used a tripod or manual focus to keep everything steady and sharp.
Portrait Photography
These portraits were taken in the studio, where I worked with controlled lighting setups. I created classic passport photos, bright high key portraits, and dramatic low key images with strong shadows.
Each lighting style brings out different moods and qualities: from clean and neutral to expressive and intense.
Portrait photography isn’t limited to the studio, though. It can also include natural, everyday situations outdoors – showing people in spontaneous moments and real-life environments.
Product Photography
Product photography is about showing objects in a way that makes them look appealing, high-quality, and unique. It’s often used in advertising, packaging, or online shops.
In this series, I photographed gin and chocolate from the Austrian brand Affenzeller. The focus was on careful lighting, composition, and styling to highlight the design, texture, and character of each product.
Photo Series
A photo series is a group of images that belong together – connected by a common theme, idea, or visual style.
Each series tells a story or explores a concept over several images, rather than just one.
Through composition, lighting, and sequence, a series can show development, contrast, or repetition. It allows for deeper storytelling and invites viewers to look closer and discover connections between the photos.
Others
This section includes other photos that were taken during class or in my free time.
They show a variety of subjects and styles, capturing moments and ideas outside the main categories.
These images reflect my ongoing exploration and practice in photography.
