the last weekend was to short as usual but also packed with lots of things to be done.
It all started with the Birthday party of my little cousin which ended up of being a crazy and nasty
halloween party with some crazy and scary visitors. The night was short so we had to get up early
to head down to Dresden to visit some friends. After some big greek diner the night ended really late and really wet but because we are young we dont need much sleep so the next morning we went to see a park called the “BAROCKGARTEN GROßSEDLITZ”. At lunchtime we had to leave and the day ended with a small shooting for a BMX Racing newcomer.
I would say this whole weekend was quick and dirty.

I started a new Project which has to do with interviews. Yeah you will probably tell me now “Ok dude there is lots of interviews out there”. Here is the stop point. I only ask people for interviews that inspire me in my on work, I like to see there work or I adore them. So what I will publish is interviews of photographers that are maybe not so known out there but they still do a good job. Some of them are not even full-time photographers and just doing it for hobby. The first I want to start of is also a guy from Germany and I dont know him that long yet but on the first day I’ve seen his photos I know he got a really good photographic eye and post processing skills.
I have to admit I already tried to copy some of his work for tests to find out how he did it. Some of you know I am a lover of analog photography to but he is a full digital guy and does a great job. His name is Martin Gommel and he is a 27 year old photographer from Walzbachtal (Jöhlingen) in Germany. Not only that he is a good photographer but also a good blogger and I recommend all of you to add his site www.kwerfeldein.de to your feedreader. He is publish not only tips and tricks but also lets other photographers blog on his site with new information.
But now lets start and go to the Interview with Martin Gommel.

* Quickie/Who are you?
My Name is Martin Gommel, I am 27 year old photographer (http://kwerfeldein.de/photoblog),

* How did it all start for you?

Hard question ! There is a big variety of things that inspire me and it begins with portfolios from other photographers, to music, to books, to times in nature, to spirituality. In short : Life and everything inside inspires me to photograph.

* What are your preferred Themes?
Lanscape and People

* What do you want to tell with your photography ?
Well, to be honest I do not have an agenda right now, because most of the time I am playing with my creativity and different tools and themes and stuff. But when I am big and famous ..no.. But my goal is to speak about the beauty and miracles out there in nature and with my portraits I want to point the finger on our everyday life. Another goal is to work more conceptual, that would add a lot of meaning into my work. At the bottom line : I just do love photography and that’s the reason I for why I’m doing it.

* Where do you want to be in 2 years?
Well I want to sell much more images, generate more jobs over my blog and I want to have learned how to help starting photographers in a better way than right now. Maybe workshops or other tools to motivate and support young photographers.

Processed !

* Who or What would you like to Photograph in future?
