“In the year 2000, the German Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra in Bremen was looking for a new orchestra photographer. I met the musicians for the first time during a concert on the beach at Bremerhaven, to which they had invited students from the Bremen School of Arts for a “photography audition”. The pictures I put together at the time convinced the orchestra members – and that was the starting point for what has now been a fifteen year gig.
Since then, I have accompanied the orchestra – who delight audiences all over the world with their radical new interpretations of major classical works – on their journeys around the globe.
Now, for the first time, I have gone through my archives and picked out a selection of mostly unpublished images, which have been published as a book titled In Tune – Variations on an Orchestra (Peperoni Books), and can currently be seen at the exhibition In Tune at the Focke-Museum Bremen (5.7. –13.9.2015).“
