I've been photographing subway stations since 2010, starting as a hobby to balance out my work and as an alternative to thousands of hours of PC gaming. The pictures were first on my homepage, a blog to see. Primarily for work colleagues.
In the meantime, the series comprises almost 120 images. I had publications in magazines such as Wired, the New York Times, the mirror, the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Even on television (eg HR and BR3) and the radio, I was to be seen/heared with reports and contributions.
In the end, this project was also one of the reasons why I started my own business as a photographer in 2013. Besides the great success of the project, I wanted to approach topics holistically again. From the idea to the implementation. I missed that in my time in advertising.
It doesn't always have to be the wide-angle central perspective. Architecture can also be captured wonderfully with a telephoto lens. Depicting details abstractly also brings the necessary impact. Over the years, this has also become a specialty.
I have photographed the stations all over the world. This requires reasonable planning and research. By the way, the best time for photography is definitely Sunday mornings at 5:00.
