About me
Philipp Messinger is a 25 years old photographer, born in Berlin. By his profession a media designer, he works together with his father at MessingerDesign. He always has been attracted by photography but – in the beginning – he had only his mobile for it. His job-related interest went through his father (graphic designer) in the direction of media design – so he started editing photos taken with his mobile and could combine his passion with career aspirations. His first project, done with a DSLR, was about Lego figures and was taken with the cam of his father. From this day on it was clear – he needed a camera.
In 2009 he bought his first digital DSLR camera. From his current point of view – a very simple camera – but at the moment a step into a new world. His motto was learning by doing – so he frequently drove around in his car to find new motives. He discovered long exposures, especially combined with unusual, forgotten or somehow bizarre places. He started searching for „lost places“ in his area and undertaking photo tours with friends. He was learning how to optimize images by processing and – partly incidentally – photo came to the world!
In the middle of 2010 he put his focus on photography of people. He just picked two flashes without knowing anything about light guiding and started to take photos. These photos weren’t the best but learning effect was good. After, he was reading a lot – about flashes and lights – which he counts to be useful in the end … He likes seeing work of photographer from different angles and always tries different parts of photo-work to embrace knowledge about it. Often he combines different experience to get the best result.
In April 2012 he bought a camera from Canon Pro series to progress again a little bit and started with sports photography, time lapse, video, green screen shots, event photography, studio photography … and currently he takes many macro photos – fascinated to see small things in this big size.
He still doesn´t know which way his „photographic path“ will continue …
