Audi MedCup

By JK | Published 28/07/2010

Nun ist schon das zweite Audi MedCup Shooting zu Ende. Die Boote sehr ähnlich wie letztes Jahr trotz ein paar Änderungen. Die Segel etwas grösser, Team kleiner, angepasster Tiefgang und ein Bowsprit. Es ist immer wieder eine Herausforderung neue Bilder zu machen da die Boote fast wie letztes Jahr aussehen, aber die kleinen Änderungen gaben [...]

5.5 Zeitlos wie die Klassischen Yachten

By JK | Published 27/06/2010

Es ist nun schon das zweite Jahr dass ich die 5.5 Schweizer Meisterschaft fotografiere. Die Boote sind einfach unglaublich schön. Zeitlose wie die Klassischen Yachten. Wäre super wenn es mit der WM in Torbole klappen würde da sind die Windbedingungen etwas anders und das wird man sicher auf den Bilder sehen. Grüsse Jürg

My favorite photos from the 33rd America's Cup

By JK | Published 20/02/2010

It was a cold day, waiting on the photo boat for the race committee to start the race, then speeding around like devils at 50 miles/h following the boats after the start (now I know how fast is Hydroptere). 5 Miles in to the race we had to stop and after a short break off [...]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ac4bK7g4vw&hl=de&fs=1] It was sure one of my highlights during the 33rd America’s Cup having a professional TV crew following me during 1 day shooting.

Christo Redentor

By JK | Published 01/02/2010

One morning the customer I was shooting for in Rio told me, you have to go up there and shoot the “Christo Redentor”. After the racing days we had only cloudy days and only 2 of them left before flying home. In a good moment with the clouds disappearing I grabbed a taxi and off [...]

Getting Ready for the Cup

By JK | Published 30/01/2010

Since a while Daniel Forster and me we started to work together on projects, this give us the chance to cover more complex shootings easier such as for example the 33rd Americas cup. The distances are so big it’s impossible to shoot at the start and then being on time also at the weather mark. [...]

By JK | Published 26/04/2009

It doesn’t need to be the Caribbean or some other well known place. Close to Zurich we have a place called Hirzel, it’s a landscape with many small hills and on each hill you will find a tree. It’s a tradition that the farmer who owns the small hill plants a tree on top of [...]
