START OF MY EXHIBITION >A THOUSAND FACES<
I have been preparing this day for weeks if not months. Hardly slept, didn't think about anything else day and night... and suddenly the time had come, suddenly it was October 17th, the day of the opening of my first solo exhibition, A Thousand Faces.
I was so stressed about this day, wanted it to absolutely perfect... and let me tell you, it was!
It all started with speeches by Steffen Kilian from DAK (host), Dieter Korfmann and Manuel Grimbach from DMSG (German MS Society), Marianne Hoffmann (art publicist) and last but not least, myself. Never before in my life I've heard as much praise for my art and myself as in the moments before I was handed the microphone! It had my shaking and close to tears, it was the most beautiful moment ever. The greatest acknowledgement and appreciation I can imagine as an artist.
Once everything was said and done, the visitors were sent off to explore the exhibition. And I honestly didn't expect much... I was too focused on making everything perfect to worry about visitors or better said the lack of visitors... I just hoped a few and my parents would come and that's it.. but we had a full house!
And this wasn't just the premiere of my first solo exhibition OR the first A Thousand Faces exhibition, it was also the premiere of my artbook '1000 Gesichter' (german title). That was available for purchase for the first time during the opening day.
And in the end... it was sold out.
I have dreamed of this day for years. My first solo exhibition. And it was better than anything I ever imagined!
Thank you to everyone who was involved and made this an unforgetable experience!

Short trip to Vienna / Group Exhibition
I spent the weekend in Vienna to visit the Finissage of a Group Exhibition I was part of!!!!!!
I submitted one of my photos from my Come Play with Me series from 2020 to a photo contest and I was voted into the !TOP 40! by the contest's Jury! Part of the contest was an exhibition in Vienna and well, I have never been to Vienna... what better reason could there be to visit this beautiful city than the fact that my art is exhibited there!
So I travelled to Vienna by train (gosh that was exhausting) on Friday. The Finissage took place on Saturday, so I didn't have much time to get to know the city before having to find the Gallery that exhibited my photo!
But it was fine, as the Gallery (City Gallery Vienna) is pretty much exactly next to the state Opera, which is a location you can easily find!!!
And let me tell you, it was so hot!! Especially during the Finissage, when the Gallery was PACKED with people. But it still was very very nice, met some new people (and as a German, I have to say that Viennese people are unpleasantly friendly, bit of a cultural shock). But I had a lot of fun! :)
 |  |  |
The rest of the day was spent exploring the city and later listening to a Mozart concert in the Musikverein Wien, because what else would you do in Vienna, right?
Sunday went by FAST, we tried to see as much as possible but the city is huge and a day can go by within a blink of an eye. Monday noon was spent drinking a coffee in the garden of Belvedere Palace and then we drove back home. Wish I had more time, this definitely wasn't my last visit to Vienna.
I barely took any digital photos, but I had my Polaroid with me, so here's a recap of my trip to Vienna in 1 Polaroid cassette.
What a CRAZY experience!

NOW ON YOUTUBE!
I'm finally also on YouTube!
For the first time I actually work on a topic that I feel the need to talk about. This just isn't something that is explained solely with art. MS is a rough diagnosis. All my mental stuff.. I mean I was mostly born with that, so I don't know it differently, so I don't really feel the need to talk about it. It's still hard to live with mental illness though, so it became my main topic in my art... or actually I started art because I had to express the things I thought and felt... but I never wanted to verbally express it.
MS is different. It's something I have to express in any way possible.

A Thousand Faces
Creating art is just part of me. So naturally also this time art was the first option.. the only option.
But, my first MS flare up mostly affected my sight... and having a troubled sight makes photography quite challenging. Also, I didn't even feel like taking photos. I needed something quicker, rougher... something that isn't as detailed and complex as photography is.
So I picked up my watercolours that I still got from middle school and started painting. Dirty, quick sketches made of water that can't be really controlled. Watercolours just flow... they mix without you meaning them to, they aren't clean and vibrant like other painting options.
They're actually quite ugly; just like life.
So here I am giving my symptoms and experiences and whatever faces to act as if they're just some unpleasant people in my life but it doesn't really matter because they are them and I am me. To act as if this isn't happening to me but to them. Faces and personalities born from ugly watercolours into this ugly world.

New Chapter
It's been a rough year. And now I know why.
Shooting got more exhausting. Planning the shoots got more exhausting. Creativity got exhausting. I 'changed the lane' quite a few times these past months... Thinking I'm just slipping into an art block and needed to find myself again. Well, it wasn't quite that.
In June I ended up at the ER... got hospitalized and was diagnosed with MS.
And that honestly explains my past months better than a simple 'art block' would... but I still would love it to be just one extreeeme art block. Anyway. Off to new shores.

Lane Change 2.0 / DISTRESS
Due to an unbearable feeling of discomfort and misery I started my mini series DISTRESS. I currently can't focus on my projects and hope this little bit of freaking out in form of trash photos helps to calm my nerves.
31st of March 2022
Lane Change
I just feel like the way I used to work isn't representative anymore to what I actually want to express. You know, I was diagnosed with dysthymia many years ago... which therefore is the base for everything I talk about in my art. But the thing is dysthymia is a mild depression that never ends. So my life is grey.. it's a never ending cold and rainy day.. it's monotonous. And I want my art to be like that.
I'm afraid all this past year I was WAY too focused on my worst and most extreme days... You know, a few years ago my condition slipped into a real depression bad enough for my therapist to admit me to a mental hospital for several weeks. And that time became my main inspiration for my art. So what I have been doing all this time absolutely was about me and also was representative... but only for like 1 year of those 25 that I'm here now. And from now on I want to focus more on those other 24 years of my life... (at least until I throw that plan over the top as well)
So my art will be more about a monotonous numbness. Which I will express in:
1. the editing.. that will look kind of like in this self-portrait
2. I want to experiment more with different photo-techniques, I just need to find new ways to truly visualise this LOUD NOTHING that is constantly in my mind
3. And then to top it all of, soon I want to include other art mediums as well. Photography itself just isn't doing the job for me anymore. I need more options to express myself.
And then I finally decided, I will post chronologically. Once my secret series is done, I will switch to that and then I will post about it. It's also a new step in my artistic progress and I'm really proud of it. But until then I just need to change my general style... it's bugging me; so I have to start now and I want you to join me on that journey!
And now, thank you for reading this and supporting me!❤️

COVER STORY
I can't believe it!!!
MY photo is on the COVER of a photo magazine!!!! And the funny part is, I didn't even know. I didn't apply to be the cover story, and when they chose my photo, they didn't even send me a notification!! So I found out with everybody else once the magazine was published. But I ain't mad!
I'm actually really proud.. it's my first cover.

2021 REVIEW
WHAT A YEAR!
In total I had 42 shootings this year with a countless number of amazing photos!!
7 publications in 7 different magazines!
Got a lot of new equipment!
Learned new skills!
I got to know so many new cool people and got back in touch with people I forgot about long ago.
Lemme say it again: WHAT A YEAR
1st of November 2021
365 DAYS Adam's Lilith Photo-Atelier & Studio
This feels crazy! Exactly one year ago I rented these 2 rooms that I've ever since been using for my art. And luckily I had the idea to document every single one of my studio-shootings on an instax polaroid and as you can see.. there are quite a few. 34 studio-shootings within the past year to be exact (the polaroid from last week's shooting is unfortunately missing in here). Btw I got a story highlight "studio shootings" on my IG, there you can see all my polaroid instax in close-up.
So everytime I leave my workspace I take a look at the polaroids hanging on my door. And they remind me of all the amazing people I got to work with this past year. They remind me of all the awesome art I was able to create in my studio. And they show me how far I've come this past year.
I've grown in so many ways. I think my art became more sophisticated. And concentrating on my art doesn't cost me that much (anxiety ridden) time anymore. And also.. I got published and met so many awesome people online and in real life that really helped me see things differently.
But what I only just noticed. I also grew mentally. My focus is completely different from what it was a year ago. I finally focus on me and my needs/wishes. Something I've never done before in my life.
I'm grateful... for the things I have achieved.

Magical shooting-location
But first let me talk about the shooting with Izy! It was probably the hottest day of the year! At least it felt like that, we were at my location at around 6pm.. and the sun was still so high and SO hot! There was no shadow at all where we worked.. but the heat of the sun was unbearable.. so after like every 5 to 10 photos we took a break and left the field to find some relief in the shadows of the trees nearby. And as the sun finally wasn't as stabbing anymore, so many biting insects crawled up from the ground. So the first 2 hours we were being grilled, the next 2 hours we were eaten alive.. it was a super exhausting day and I couldn't sleep all night from that horrible headache I got from being in the sun all afternoon. But let me tell you. It was SO worth it! Gosh, these photos are divine!
On sunday evening I worked with Anna-Lena and her horse, to my surprise she brought along a friend of hers, Ronja. But wow what a lucky coincidence. Her horse Libby wasn't having it at all with all those insects around! Like it was WILD. After exactly 15 minutes of shooting Anna-Lena broke off, because there was just no way to tame Libby. And LUCKILY Ronja was there to help us handle the situation. I wouldn't say I'm scared of horses... but I truuuly respect their size and strength.. also I had a lot of equipment with me, so I wasn't able to help Anna-Lena with her horse at all... But Ronja could! So she took care of the animal for example when Anna-Lena was changing or when she needed a break to rearrange her dress. It was just super helpful! And also, Ronja filmed some bts-videos for me which I truly appreciate! But even though the shooting was pure chaos, I still got beautiful shots from it!! No matter how much of a mess a shooting is, there will be beautiful moments, even if they only last milliseconds, and be sure, I won't miss them!

Prints!
 |  |
The best feeling as a photo-artist? Holding your own art in your hands! I remember the first time I ordered a print of one of my photos from a professional printing service... once you've held your art in your hands, the digital version just won't do it anymore. I now have more prints than walls to hang them on!
But I just can't stop, opening a package and then seeing it's a print of your art every time feels like Christmas did back in the day when I was 5 years old!
10th of May 2021
I got PUBLISHED!!
At the end of April, the official account of HAZL Magazine contacted me on instagram and told me they found my art, fell in love and would like to publish my work 'Monster' and OF COURSE I said yes!! This is my first publication and I feel so SO honored! Can't put into words how amazing it feels to see your own art printed in a Magazine!

"You're my favourite photographer!"
One of my followers DMed me on instagram telling me about how he's an art student and got an assignment to choose his favourite photographer and make diptychs out of his own photos and the ones from his chosen artist.
By the way, on my instagram I got a Story-Highlight in which I talk some more about this!
Thank you David (@kzvo_horror)! It's a real honor to be your favourite photo-artist!
Today, on the first of November, I signed the lease to my very first and my OWN studio! I'm beyond happy and can't wait for all the amazing art I'm now able to create!! In fact I've been searching for a suitable place for MONTHS now.. unfortunately the area I live in is quite expensive and it's hard to find something that meets my requirements... but now I finally and honestly by accident found something that's just perfect for the start! Now I can really start creating!
