Of course there is the photography of street art. But is there really that much street art that uses photography? Not that I can think of, most of it is painted, stenciled and drawn. So it looks like what fashion photographer Florian Kolmer has been doing in the streets of Berlin is pretty new, at least to me. He’s created a very elegant series of black and white photos, printed them in large format and postered them onto the walls in public spaces, like next to the King Size bar or onto the Berghain. Enjoy the photo series of his work after the jump.

It has somehow become a little bit of a tradition for us to do an event for the Christmas. This year we have a very special gif(t) for our readers: A big group exhibition of animated GIFs titled GIF. ME. BERLIN.
Animated GIFs have turned into quite a movement on blogs and tumblrs all over the internet this year. With our animated party photos we also had a lot of fun with this old and dusty image format that was developed in 1987 as the first digital file format for color images.
On December 14th we are taking the animated GIF out of the internet and put it into a live exhibition at the .HBC Kino. We asked 11 talented Berlin-based photographers and artists to show us and our collaborating media partner smart urban stage their vision of the future in the form of an animated GIF. The results are as diverse and impressive as the artists themselves.
At the event we will not only show you the artwork, but we will also pamper you with drinks by Absolut Vodka, our famous delicious cupcakes and fingerfood and music by DJs Eliza Foxxx and Hara Katsiki. And as a special treat we will give you the chance to turn into an amazing GIF yourself in the GIF Photo Box. A little preview of the exhibition, the full line-up of photographers and artists, and all the details after the jump.

I thought long about how to justify this article for iHeartBerlin. But honestly, it just does not relate to Berlin… I just wanted to talk to Ed Kashi about Pakistan.
Ed Kashi is one of the most important photojournalists of our time. His pictures regularly appear in magazines such as National Geographic and have won numerous awards. This interview – which features a lot of his fantastic photographs – is about one of the most dangerous and fascinating countries on earth: Pakistan. More after the jump.

Opening, André Wagner
Berlin-born artist André Wagner has been working with us as a photographer for our Designer Scouts fashion events since we launched the project in January 2010. But fashion and event photography is only one of his many talents. In his new solo exhibition The Beauty of Time that opens this Friday at the Rosendahl, Thöne & Westphal gallery at Kurfürstendamm he is showcasing a series of photographs that circle around the theme of time as a physical dimension. So what looks like an archictural or landscape photograph turns out to be way more then just a captured moment. The photo above for example shows the busy fashion crowd at the Bread&Butter fair at Tempelhof Airport while they rush through the building. More previews and infos after the jump.

Last night’s Cinéma Party showed that Berlin’s fashionistas have already geared up for the upcoming Berlin Fashion Week wearing out their fanciest outfits with pride. In the next days Mitte will experience a drastic boost in style and a hord of street fashion photographers will be following the crowd. Or are the fashion hungry girls and boys actually following the street style photographers?
If you want to make sure that your best outfits are caught on camera then you should head over to the Nokia Pop-Up Fashion Café at Torstr. 114 where fashion photographer Yves Borgwardt will take your photo from January 20-22nd. The hottest looks will then become part of the national campaign for the new Nokia C7 Smartphone. More infos over at Sounds Like Me.

Comeback, André Wagner
A while ago one of our Designer Scouts photographers sent me an invite to a group exhibition at photo edition berlin that he is part of. When I took a look at the sample photos from all the participating photographers this moody night scene in a forest was my instant favorite. It reminded me a lot of my all time favorite TV show The X Files. And what a coincident: it is the work of the photographer who invited me: André Wagner. After the jump a few other great photos of the exhibition and the details.

For all of you who love to customize your fashion magazine while waiting in the train or at a café for the as usual unpunctual date this exhibition at the gallery Camera Work will kick your ass. Two photographers for the Italian Vouge, Tina Berning & Michaelangelo di Battista, decided to go further then the standard beauty photography. So their FACE/project was born. To see more pictures and the address of the gallery take your face after the jump.
