photoshoot and cross-sectoral work

Hello there, you may have noticed that my homepage has become a more professional look lately since I changed some of the pictures. :-)
For a longer period of time I wanted really good looking photos for this website (additional to the ones I already had) but also for instagram or other occasions when I announce upcoming concerts. I started asking around a bit for a good photographer and also did a little Google search but I still had no one specific in my mind.

Then my neighbour who is a composer and sound artist released his EP and threw a release party/concert (the closest. concert I have ever been to - just had to go downstairs :-D) We talked a little and I asked him for a good photographer. Luckily the photographer who had taken his photos was invited as well and that’s how I got in touch with Sanyam. I took a look at his work and decided quickly that I like what he does very much so we met shortly after to do a session.

Usually I’m not much of a photo person, I often feel a bit uncomfortable in front of a camera especially when I have to pose in a certain way. But on that evening everything fell into place very nicely. We got beautiful sunny evening hours and I felt like it was very easy to talk to Sanyam which then made me feel very comfortable in general and also in front of the camera. We spent quite some time in my neighbourhood trying different places and outfits and in the end we got so many beautiful photos that it was hard to choose the best ones for further editing. You can see a selection in my gallery and in other places on this website.

We also connected over being people with multiple interests/skills across different sectors that are very similar: I work in the field of environmental medicine and am confronted with a lot of climate change-and-health-related topics while also being a musician whereas Sanyam’s passionate about connecting hist art with politics and research especially to raise awareness for climate change and promote societal change (definitely go check out his homepage about this). I think this could open up great opportunities and who knows, this might not be the end of us collaborating yet ;-) But whatever happens, I’ll announce it here and on my instagram channel - so stay tuned!

If you’re interested in Sanyam’s work as a photographer in general (he did not ask me to do this :-) ) have a look here or go to his instagram channel.
