Dan Sievert's photostream

i’m a graphic designer/prepress guy/photog/retoucher, made in germany.
i love photography and will only stop when i go blind.

----------------------------------

at the moment i'm back in the ruhrpott, giving germany a shot.

----------------------------------

ultimately i want to dig more into shooting people as that's where my passion is. even though i'm into other kinds of photography as well, i'm starting to shift my focus on people. nothing tells more stories than a human face.

photography is an organic process for me, nothing you can usher into existence in a rush. i tend to agree with Henri Cartier-Bresson when he once said: "a photograph is neither taken nor seized by force. it offers itself up. it is the photo that takes you. one must not take photos."

----------------------------------

Your camera doesn't matter

almost all my images are processed, altered or composed digitally. i reckon i wouldn't be the ideal photojournalist.
