I am happy to announce my new little book

Reflecting New York

It is available worldwide on the self-publishing online platform blurb and can be previewed and/or ordered here:

blurb.com/b/12090895-reflecting-new-york

With an introduction by New York journalist Claudia Steinberg

About the Book:

Using a hand held mirror in locations around New York photographer Stefan Falke invites distant buildings, structures or other visuals into the main photo to create a viewing experience that requires a second look. At times the reflection in the mirror becomes the main photo. His goal is to visually loosen up the obvious, to create images that journalist Claudia Steinberg described with these words: "What pleasurable confusion, what wonderful bewilderment, such visual richness!”. He is letting his creativity run wild while hunting for visual angles for this personal book project, and although it is a difficult undertaking working with two images at once the results often surprise him as much as he hopes they will surprise and intrigue the viewer.

Xposure International Photography Festival in Sharjah 2024 - my video on YouTube now

I edited and posted my 10 minute video from the

Xposure International Photography Festival in Sharjah, UAE, on YouTube:

https://youtu.be/C2WYTLH_I4w?si=ticKneHepkGUiNJQ

I was able to squeeze in only a part of the over 90 exhibitions but I hope it gives the viewer an idea about this amazing photo festival, in its 8th year and still fairly unknown in the US but gaining momentum fast. Festival director Simon Newton and his wonderful team are working tirelessly to make this huge photography event a wonderful experience for visitors, exhibitors and lecturers alike. I am so glad I was invited (and received the Global Focus Project Award for ”Keep Going New York !!“) to this unforgettable event. See for yourself here

Reflecting Dubai

I was invited to the amazing Xposure International Photography Festival in Sharjah, UAE, in March where I received the Global Focus Project Award for a photography project of mine. I used the occasion to shoot a new project in nearby Dubai resulting in the following magazine style brochure:

REFLECTING DUBAI:

a magazine style portfolio of 10 photographs by award winning photographer Stefan Falke.

Using a hand held mirror the photographer invites distant buildings or situations into the main photo. The reflection either adds additional information about nearby structures and visuals that could otherwise not be shown in the same frame or it makes the image more compelling by urging the viewer to have a second look in order to understand the photograph. They also show how much creative fun Falke has making these photos of city sceneries with a new visual approach.

Print, premium brochure, 24 Pages, 11" x 8.5"
