Stefan G.'s photostream  

When I reach for my camera, beauty starts to play catch and hide with me. It's a shy beast, and not easily captured. Occasionally, it stands right in front of me when I look through my viewfinder, but leaps away at the sound of my shutter button, leaving only a blurred trace in the frame. Still, these are the moments I want to share with you here. Thanks for stopping by and having a look!

BTW: I'm not afraid of clichés, as long as I find ways to exaggerate them.

Models and stylists wanted! If you live in Switzerland and like modelling or would like to give it a try, let me know - maybe, we can realize a shooting together. For the time being, I prefer working on a time-for-pictures basis.

Gear: When I started taking pictures, I thought of cameras as tools. Meanwhile, I believe the are more like partners to my photography, with their own eccentric personalities. At times, they can be stubborn and insist on doing things their way - but hey, I'm no different...

Canon EOS 5D Mk II
Canon 24-105 f4 IS - ideal all-around lens
Canon 85mm f1.8 - great for portraiture
Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS - awesome for street photography, but to heavy...
Canon 17-40mm f4 - great for land- and cityscapes, but being a wide-angle, rather difficult to master...

Hasselblad 500 C/M with Zeiss Planar 80mm 2.8 T* - What a camera!
