Welcome to my Blog!

I´m a german based photographer with a passion for pure Black & White Photography.

I travel a lot… therefore my pictures are mainly from my journeys.

I love jazz music, Italian food and surrealistic and visionary art.

J.R.

“A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it.”

  2. There’s just something about black and white photography . . .
    It’s like a classic tale of the relationship between shadow and light.
    This is well represented in your works. Each picture with its unique story.
    Oh yeah, thanks for stopping by Geoidhead, it made me locate a world were every thing is black and white.

  5. Hi, Some photos looked interesting to reward them pressing the Like buttons. So I did. I wonder why I’ve chosen the posts:
    I can tell you – he was great!
    Inside the Cologne Cathedral.
    Tangle up.
    Living Tree.
    To be.
    However I feel the last one „To be“ is not from the „story“. Decidedly I’m convinced the group lacks another photo, as if closing the aforementioned four. Sometimes something drills in mind but the answer must ripen first. So, perhaps the spark will turn up with one of your future shots? Who knows? 🙂
    Thanks for coming to my blog. I think I have a few b/w photos yet to share with them. Cheers.

      • That’s nice of you. One idea came to me reading that. The Fifth Element. Not the movie 🙂 but something which might put the four images together in oneness. Sort of „harmony story“. You know that many photo artists like to create short stories. Sometimes it happens that I see other photos this way. A glue, one sound of emotional cord, may change perspective or feelings concerning the watched photos. Cheers.

  14. I love this your quote, “A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it.” I love photography, and I’m still learning it because I am not a professional photographer.

  39. Thank you for your like – Australias largest lake – Lake Eyre 90 percent of the time is empty – it requires flooding rains from other areas to fill it. As this moment is rare it attracts many sightseers and the best way to see it is from the air🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

  45. Thank you for stopping by my page as well. You do stunning work. One of my favorite photographers is Anton Corbijn. There are some images here which have an Anton flare to them. Again, it is beautiful work you do.

  46. Thank you for stopping by my website. Since you are 100% b&w, I assume you like Sebastião Salgado’s work. If you have a chance, try to visit the Forli exhibit. The setting is really worth it, the light is uniform and almost no reflection on the frame glass. I like your website, although a caption under the photos would do no harm.
