Augenblick, bitte!/one moment, please!

Augenblick, bitte!/one moment, please! (or: in search of the "decisive moment") For my series of unposed street portraits "Augenblick, bitte!", I chose the moment of being discovered by my selected protagonists, which lasts only a fraction of a second. This moment, ideally before the possibility of a reaction of any kind, has become a sought-after shooting situation for me on the street. In order to feel the maximum emotional connection to the person photographed, which is only possible in this brief moment, and to capture it forever. A situation lasting the blink of an eye, in which the world begins to stand still - and, ideally, tells a story beyond that.
