Two new Awards !!

AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHY and COMMUNICATION ARTS   awarded photos from my latest book "Reflecting New York", for which I photographed locations in my chosen hometown with a handheld mirror ... I am very grateful and honored to receive these awards !!

My previous book "Keep Going New York !!" received the same honors in 2021.

I invite you to visit my blurb profile to preview and/or order them.

There is more to my Garfunkel & Garfunkel - Father and Son cover

 

There is more to my  Garfunkel & Garfunkel - Father and Son cover !! I posted this cover before but only now did I get to see the double spreads inside the LP album and the accompanying booklet !! As I have said before, it was a great honor to shoot the cover for Art Garfunkel, one of the biggest name in music history, and his son Art Garfunkel Jr. for their wonderful father and son project. The album was released by BMG/Telamo on November 8th 2024.  More photos on my website.

A story about John Langan - the Stephen King of the Catskills

 

John Langan, the Stephen King of the Catskills A few weeks ago I was on a great assignment for French Le Point magazine, published in the current issue (via LAIF/REA). I am quoting from the magazine: The American writer John Langan, Stephen King’s heir, with his book “The Fisherman”, explores a 'black ocean' hidden in the Catskills, the place of his childhood, where the dead find a second life. A masterpiece of horror.  Text by Élise Lépine (online version in French) More photos on my website. I loved working in the Catskills and living in New York City, the opportunity to spend a few days upstate is always welcomed. The wild scenery and the picturesque towns are a matching character in John's book, which I am only now beginning to read since there was not enough time before the assignment. I am not a fan of horror books , but having met John, I am intrigued to learn more about his work !!

Reflecting New York - the book

 

STEFAN FALKE Photography Newsletter View as Webpage

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.
