Who am I?
Or who do I think I am?
Hey!
My name is Joshua and I like to take photos. I’m 20 years old and something like 3 years ago I fell in love with photography.
After finishing high school in 2023, I joined the German Navy for a year because I wanted to go to sea and be a sailor.
Thereafter I went traveling - 2 months in China, then Hongkong, Thailand, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. I took a ton of photos on the trip and I did anything to get good photos. I endured many sleepless nights, hanging out on some mountains, to take cool photos :D
Now I’m back in Germany and study physics in the most beautiful town of East Germany. I have no clue what I’m gonna do in the future, I always just do things I like or am interested in and for now everything actually worked out. I’m really spontaneous in that regard and since I’m born kinda privileged, I might as well make the best out of it.
All I know is I like doing photography and want other people to see my work.
Astrophotography is what brought me into this hobby and since then I tried out everything I could think of. Today, still, my main projects are astrophotography related and with this website I want to show everything I learned and created over the years.
I also love to share the storie behind every single picture because I think that knowing how it came to life is giving the pixels on the screen so much more depth.
I’m also tired of Instagram being my only place where I can show my work. After some good amount of time went into learning photography I’m now confident enough to show my pictures on a big screen and even print them. I could’ve done it earlier but concerning photography I think I’m a real perfectionist.
My goal
Take some cool ass photos and have fun doing it. Hopefully inspiring others on the way. Depending on the amount of freetime I have while studying, I want to talk more about how I take photos and generally everything I learned. I will upload on YouTube and Instagram.
Anyway I really really want to put some philosophy into that, since talking about mental health is very important to me and I dearly want to help more people enjoy life. I also struggle with a lot of things and it always helped me knowing there are people that go through the exact same stuff.
