Burrowstagram - asocial media today "Once i dug a hole in the ground close by the Karlsruhe Palace, with a swiss knife, in the middle of a meadow. The hole had the dimensions of 25 cm depths to a diameter of 15 cm. Holes are important in photography. With 1/4 liter of sparkling mineral water and a hand full of the excavated earth I mixed a soft and creamy fluid with which i lubricated my left foot. Tenderly i slipped the foot into the burrow and left it there for 37 days, eyes closed i listened to the sound of the birds and the wind in the trees."

Staged Photography – 2026

with Charlotte Krieger

Unseen This course introduces students to the creation of a seven-image series built around the theme Unseen. They will learn to combine set design, characters, and lighting to produce strong, coherent staged images. Through a practical and technical approach, the course develops their ability to conceive and manage a complete photographic project, direct models, work with natural and artificial light, and collaborate under conditions similar to professional editorial or commercial shoots. Students will refine their photographic vision while preparing for the creative and technical demands of the industry.

What is good portrait? What technique do you choose? What kind of light do you use? Daylight or flash? What location or backdrop do you choose for? How do you choose your subject? How do you approach someone you don’t know? In this workshop, the students have explored what makes a good portrait and which tools you can use to create one.
