Am 21.09.2025 war ich bei Thomas Seidl im „TSP-Talk“-Podcast zu Gast. Ist ein bisschen länger geworden als geplant, gibt aber einen ganz ordentlichen Überblick über mein Tun. Als Unterhaltung für eine längere Autofahrt ganz gut geeignet, denke ich. Hier geht’s zum Podcast.
Ich freue mich, auch bei der diesjährigen Ausgabe, die am kommenden Freitag startet, wieder die künstlerische Leitung des Fotopark Forchheim übernehmen zu dürfen. Neben einigen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern, die wir nach 2022 bereits zum zweiten Mal beim Fotopark begrüßen, wächst die Fotopark-Familie um viele weitere hochkarätige Mitglieder an. Auch wird der Fotopark 2024 deutlich internationaler. Neben Fotografinnen und Fotografen aus Deutschland und Österreich sind diesmal auch Künstlerinnen und Künstler aus Großbritannien und dem Irak vertreten. Ein weiteres Novum wird die […]
In the current issue of the PHOTOGRAPHIE magazine 7-8/2020 one of my pictures was published once again. Here is the (true) story about it that is printed beside the photo: A journey into the history of photography. Following the footsteps of Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, professional photographer Kai Rogler traveled to California to explore the last places where the two American photographic legends worked and to take pictures using their style. Looking back on the experience, he reports: „After […]
If you know me, you know that I’m not particularly brand loyal in principle and usually buy or use the products that seem to make the most sense for a certain purpose – whether it’s vehicles, clothing or cameras. As a result, I have worked with or at least tried out many different camera brands – from Olympus to Fuji to Hasselblad and from Canon to Nikon and my beloved Pentax (which isn’t even my own). I even tried out […]
As part of „Paris Photo Off“, Galerie Joseph Le Marais exhibited a selection of photos from the „Atlas of Humanity“ project (www.atlasofhumanity.com) I am involved in and contributed two pictures to the exhibition. Here are some impressions from the vernissage on 8.11.2019. Im Rahmen der „Paris Photo Off“ stellte die Galerie Joseph Le Marais eine Auswahl an Fotos des Projekts „Atlas of Humanity“ (www.atlasofhumanity.com) aus, an dem ich beteiligt bin und zwei Bilder zur Ausstellung beigesteuert habe. Anbei einige Impressionen […]
As I wrote in my previous post, as a photographer staying in Carmel-by-the-Sea, you can’t avoid the work of the famous colleagues Edward Weston and Ansel Adams. So they inspired me to photograph the local coastal region in their style. To what extent I have succeeded in stepping into their footsteps may be judged by others 😉 Wie schon in meinem vorherigen Post geschrieben, kommt man als Fotograf bei einem Aufenthalt in Carmel-by-the-Sea nicht um die Arbeiten der berühmten Kollegen […]
Yesterday, I visited a considerable number of galleries in San Francisco and got a hint from Scott Nichols – the friendly owner of the identically named gallery – to go to Carmel-By-The Sea for taking pictures and visiting some galleries there, too. I did so today and find myself following the footsteps of Edward Weston and Ansel Adams who spent the last part of their lives here. After again visiting two worth seeing galleries here, I want to share my […]
So, as already assumed, I am back in Namibia again to meet my new friends here – and to visit the Windhoek Fashion Week! Johanna sent me a hint that everyone can apply for an accreditation last week and after I sent a link to my website to the organizer, I got it the next day. After having had a good flight with Ethiopian via addis Abeba, I met and surprised Martha and Lucy (model and make-up artist from the […]
After the last night, my today’s awakening is somewhat stuttering. Anyway, I would have liked to sleep some hours more after the wake-up call at 6:30 am. But complaining doesn’t help – calendar shooting day two is scheduled! Our two make-up artists learned from yesterday and started much earlier with their work. So, the first two models Johanna and Rose are ready timely. Meanwhile I did a short test ride on the grey horse which accompanies our girls in two […]
I get up at 6:40 to be ready in time for the first calendar shooting scheduled for 8am. Amazingly, I am the only one awake!? As time goes by, one after the other is crawling out of their beds. Also make-up takes longer than expected, so we start with a delay of two hours to the first marble quarry. It follows a very exhausting first shooting day under burning sun, but we all have lots of fun. In the end, […]
