Information about using my website
When you load the website, you will be greeted by vibrant, colorful shapes that playfully catch your eye.
All shapes are interactive: The five main shapes invite you to explore my photography by displaying a small selection of images from their respective categories. When you hover over them with the mouse or tap on a smartphone, the shapes enlarge and start an automatic slideshow, changing images every two seconds. Other shapes, like the 'About Me' shape, provide exciting insights into my artistic journey.
In the video shape, you can pause the playback using the pause button below the video.
With the remaining shapes, interactions with the mouse or finger trigger color changes or animations. More effects and animations await your discovery – let your curiosity run wild!
This website is primarily optimized for display on large screens to bring the concept of a virtual studio to life as vividly as possible. However, the layout and usability on smaller screens are also ensured.
Further down the page, you will find the option to contact me, as well as the imprint and the privacy policy .
Do you miss the familiar "X" to close a window? On this page, you can easily close windows by clicking anywhere inside or outside the window, or by tapping on the screen.
The same applies to some animations and scrolling on smartphones: Simply tap on a spot next to the animated object to stop the scrolling.
Welcome to my digital studio, where visual creations open doors to new perspectives
About Me
Daniel Reichert
*Born on Wednesday, August 13th
Early Passion and Development
From a young age, I discovered my love for photography with a 35mm camera. In 2004, I bought my first digital camera and began capturing my surroundings and city trips like Hamburg and Munich. With the acquisition of additional cameras and through numerous photo and cycling tours, I deepened my skills and continuously improved my technique.
Portrait Photography
Since my first portrait attempts in 2008, I have dedicated myself intensively to the diverse field of portrait photography. This includes classic portraits, expressive concert and band photos, emotional wedding and engagement pictures, as well as sensitive maternity photos. Additionally, I capture people in special moments, creating unique and memorable images.
Aerial Photography
Since 2022, I have been using my drone to create fascinating perspectives and aerial shots. This technology allows me to showcase buildings, landscapes, and special places from an entirely new viewpoint, expanding my creative vision.
Building and Property Photography
Architectural photography is one of my great passions. From modern designs to historical buildings, I capture the uniqueness of structures. I am especially fascinated by "lost places," which tell their own stories. Using light painting, reflections, and background effects, I present buildings from new perspectives.
Analog Photography
Returning to analog photography in 2014 was a significant step in my artistic development. With cameras like the Mamiya RZ67 Pro, the Altix V (for which I own all available lenses), and the wonderful Olympus OM1, I rediscovered the classical art of photography. I appreciate the special aesthetics and creative process that analog photography brings.
Special Photography
My special photography includes macro shots, timelapse, and various lighting techniques. From insect macros to atmospheric night and moon shots, I experiment with techniques to create unique images. Planet photography and creative work with geometric shapes and colors are also among my specialties.
Let's realize your vision together.

Your Project with Me: The Workflow
From Idea to Project Concept
Use the contact options on my website to share your project idea and details with me. You can reach me via email or phone. I look forward to hearing from you and learning about your project. For more complex projects or if you prefer a personal exchange, we can arrange a meeting to discuss your ideas in detail and clarify any open questions.
Based on our discussions, I will develop a customized concept that reflects your vision and serves as the foundation for the entire project. I take your wishes and requirements into account to achieve a result that meets your expectations.

Planning the Project Execution
After conceptualization, the careful planning and organization of all necessary steps follow. This includes selecting the right location, necessary props and models, as well as setting the schedule. Every step is carefully coordinated to ensure a smooth workflow.
Great photos require optimal lighting conditions. Therefore, it is important to observe the surroundings at different times of the day to determine the ideal lighting for the shoot:
Sometimes the location can be difficult to navigate. Aerial views can help to better understand the surroundings and optimize the planning of the photography project.
The Photoshoot: Your Vision in Focus
The heart of our creative process is the photoshoot, where your ideas come to life. With precise preparation and a trained eye, we capture the key moments that tell your story.
By using professional equipment and creative perspectives, I ensure that each image reflects your vision and captures the desired atmosphere.
Photo Editing
After the photoshoot, the creative process of photo editing begins. Here, I refine the images, optimize colors and contrasts, and apply special effects to create the desired mood. A before-and-after comparison impressively shows how professional editing enhances the expressiveness of the images:
Paths of Images
Note: These photographic stories are currently available in German only.
Paths of Images lead through creative photographic journeys, experimental techniques, and special moments behind the camera. Each photo essay highlights not only the subject but also the artistic and technical path that led to it.
Bastei in Focus: Rock Formations in Perfect Light
This photographic travelogue takes you through the impressive landscape of the Bastei. Alongside atmospheric shots of sunrises, sunsets, and mystical fog scenes, the creative technique of light painting also comes into play – clearly explained and embedded in an authentic photographic narrative.
