Ich sammle Reisegeschichten, kleine Zufälle und Lieblingsorte in Bildern und Texten – damit du mich Schritt für Schritt um die Welt begleiten kannst.

A seaside viewpoint captured from a stone terrace: a weathered limestone balustrade in the foreground, beyond it a deep turquoise bay dotted with small white boats and a distant, sunlit coastal town climbing up a hillside. On the balustrade rests a single, elegantly designed postcard depicting the same bay in a slightly stylized illustration, its edges lifted gently by a sea breeze. The scene is bathed in soft golden hour light, creating shimmering highlights on the water and subtle shadows in the town’s narrow alleys. Photographic realism, wide-angle composition with the postcard in sharp foreground focus, conveying a dreamy, sophisticated sense of déjà vu in travel memories.
A well-worn leather-bound travel journal lies open on a small wooden café table beside a porcelain espresso cup and a neatly folded city map. Handwritten notes and a pressed wildflower peek from between the journal’s creamy pages. Outside the window, blurred silhouettes of historic European architecture and soft greenery suggest an old town square. Late-afternoon natural light filters through the glass, casting long, refined shadows and warm highlights on the journal’s textured cover. Photographic realism, eye-level composition with shallow depth of field, the journal in sharp focus and the background pleasantly blurred, creating a sophisticated, contemplative atmosphere of quiet travel reflection.
A classic train compartment interior with polished wooden paneling, deep green upholstered seats, and a small fold-out table beneath a wide window. On the table lie a fountain pen, an open notebook filled with tidy handwriting, and a single, carefully arranged postcard featuring a coastal scene. Outside the window, a blurred landscape of fields and distant hills passes by in streaks of color. Late-evening golden hour light pours in, creating warm highlights on the wood grain and soft reflections on the glass. Photographic realism, cinematic framing from the opposite seat, evoking quiet sophistication and the intimate rhythm of slow travel journaling.
An atmospheric night scene of a quiet, cobblestoned alley in an old European city, glistening slightly from a recent drizzle. Warm light spills from ornate wrought-iron street lamps, illuminating stone facades, wooden shutters, and a small brass letterbox overflowing with neatly arranged postcards from faraway places. Each postcard shows a different landscape: snowy mountains, desert dunes, and tropical coasts, all in subdued, tasteful colors. The rest of the alley falls into soft shadow, with just a hint of distant arches and balconies. Photographic realism, shot at street level with a shallow depth of field, emphasizing the postcards while preserving a moody, sophisticated nocturnal ambiance.

Hinweise

Kurz notiere ich hier, mit welcher Kamera ich reise, welche Projekte mich begleiten und wie du meine Bilder nutzen darfst – damit du meine Postkarten von unterwegs entspannt genießen und bei Fragen rund um Bildrechte schnell Antworten finden kannst.

A vintage-style globe with muted, sophisticated colors stands on a narrow brass base atop a minimalist white desk, surrounded by a few carefully placed travel tokens: an old enamel train ticket, a small brass compass, and a stack of monochrome postcard-sized prints. Behind, a large window reveals an out-of-focus skyline of distant mountains beneath a pale sky. Soft overcast daylight creates even, diffused illumination with delicate reflections on the globe’s glossy surface. Photographic realism, shot from a slightly elevated angle with balanced negative space, conveying a calm, elegant mood and the thoughtful planning phase of a journey.
