Motivation in English
#DontJustTakeGive is an personal project and interpretation on the basis of Fujifilm / instax instant picture call up. My goal is to capture people in special moments through a spontaneous image. Through this project I try to get into conversation with people and find out where they come from and where they are going and what makes them happy in between.
All pictures are taken during spontaneous photowalks through different cities, where I always decide by gut feeling who to approach and ask if I may capture the moment.
The use of instant pictures (Polaroid or instax) represents an appreciation of the analog and tangible world in times of increasing digitalization and inflationary use of digital photography.
I would like to present this personal project to a wider public at a later date, either in book or exhibition form.
I look forward to any support and ideas to present this project to a bigger audience.

Motivation in Italian
#DontJustTakeGive è un progetto personale ed una interpretazione a base della campagna di Fujifilm / Instax in cui cerco di catturare le persone in momenti speciali attraverso un'immagine spontanea.
Con questo progetto cerco di entrare in conversazione con le persone e di scoprire da dove vengono e dove andranno e cosa le rende felici.
Tutte le foto sono state scattate durante passeggiate fotografiche spontanee in diverse città, in cui decido sempre di pancia a chi avvicinarmi e chiedere se posso immortalare il momento.
L'uso di immagini istantanee (Polaroid o instax) rappresenta un apprezzamento del mondo analogico e tangibile in tempi di crescente digitalizzazione e di uso inflazionato della fotografia digitale.
Vorrei presentare questo progetto personale a un pubblico più ampio in un secondo momento, sotto forma di libro o di mostra.
Sono ansioso di ricevere supporto e idee per espandermi in modo creativo.
Motivation in German
#DontJustTakeGive ist ein persönliches Projekt und Interpretation des Aufrufs von Fujifilm / instax etwas zurückzugeben. Mein Ziel ist es besonderen Momenten durch ein spontanes Bild festzuhalten. Durch dieses Projekt versuche ich mit Menschen ins Gespräch zu kommen und zu erfahren, woher Sie kommen und wohin Sie gehen und was sie dazwischen glücklich macht.
Alle Bilder entstehen bei spontanen Photowalks durch verschiedene Städte, wobei ich immer aus dem Bauchgefühle entscheide, wen ich anspreche und frage, ob ich den Moment festhalten darf.
Der Einsatz von Sofortbildern (Polaroid bzw. instax) stellt eine Wertschätzung der analogen und greifbarer Welt in Zeit zunehmender Digitalisierung und inflationärer Nutzung von digitaler Fotografie dar.
Dieses persönliche Projekt möchte ich zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt gern einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit präsentieren sei es in Buch- oder Ausstellungs-Form.
Ich freue mich auf jegliche Unterstützung und Ideen dieses Projekt zu präsentieren.
