20 Minuten

Over the last couple of months, I've been looking for alliances with Magazines, both online and offline, to get easier access to photo passes, and frankly, to make a $ or two. New lenses and custom earplugs just don't grow on trees.

My first alliance was with Laut und Spitz, a so-called "party portal" that also covers concerts. My dear friend Maceman (who's also an awesome concert shooter) has been with them for a couple of years and gave me the opportunity to shoot concerts for them. Thanks to LUS, I got to my first show at Hallenstadion - the wonderful Anastacia.

I have left LUS to avoid a conflict with the new alliance I'm announcing in the title: I now work (still as a freelance concert photographer) with 20 Minuten Online, the online version of Switzerland's newspaper with the biggest circulation.



The premiere for our collaboration was yesterday night, when Alte Börse celebrated its 5 year anniversary with Swedish rock 'n' rollers The Hives. Check it out on
20 Minuten!

Yay me!
