My dear Berlin – a city of lights, of contradictions, of beautiful people and places to discover. BLNgold is my homage to a city that never sleeps, where magical moments seem to find those who wait for them.
When I first shared these photographs online, it felt like living that year twice. Once, out on the streets capturing it. And again, while selecting the images from a body of work that reflected a year in Berlin.
Much has been said about Berlin – the myths of nightlife, the allure for artists and tourists, the idea of a creative capital. Personally, I see less of the nightlife. My nights are often spent in post-production, editing the images of the day. But what I do see is a city full of contrasts: raw and refined, restless and calm, endlessly layered.
Portraying Berlin could never be done in a single year. Perhaps BLNgold is only the beginning – a first step toward a vivid representation of this city and its people.
Thank you, Berlin, for your sugar-free sweetness.
