This was a very funny thing. It was a Interview for a TV Show about Foreigners in China
and the Food behavior.
The Interview was a half Hour and I talked about 3 Years food in China :)

My Girlfriend asked me if I have time tomorrow to make a Interview with her together,
I was thinking its a cute Idea. So we went to Starbucks to meet the Film Team.
And they buy me a hot Chocolate and a very good taste Cake.

I think the rest just watch the Video :)

Yes I also have Face Book. Matthias Austel is my FB ID.

    

    

     

I am so Happy, I was so depressed these Days. because many of
my Plans just was fucked up. And I had no success.
This is a new happening in my Live. My first Print Publication in China
14 Pages. I am Happy yes and I cant rest. This is more a
motivation then a Price.

I try other Magazines these days too, hope it is a start for my Way of
Luck after my Way or Pain :)

Anyway for now I am Happy and Thanks for all Support I got from so many nice Soulsmates.

In this Photos: Keyra white dress, Me Black dress and Xiao Zai also Black dress.

I add it because some Friends asking me, The Shoes from the beauty legs
are from the Fashion Label ELLE.

   


I just love that Car, I am not so big in Car Loving a Lamborghini or a Porsche even a BMW,
Mercedes and so on letting me Cold.

But this one is a Killer, Look the shape of the Front Spoiler. It says I hit U
and I not even try to let it looks like an Accident.

The Car stand for 3 Weeks in front of my House the Color of the Car ID
is black that means in China it is a Government Car.

So Its a little risky but look that Pic its so cool, even when its the Car of
the Chinese Government Killer Commando. To Die for a good Photo is it worth.

  So sexy ...
  the Fashion Design is made by me.
  I cut a old Jacket of me and pull the Inside out.
  Finish is SoulMate Fashion.

 

Every shooting I do produce many Photos which I just keep private. The Making Of is a part of it.
My Shootings are Planed but thats mostly a Mission Impossible. So I just have some Pictures and
Feelings in my Mind, and I try to come so close as Possible or so far away as Possible.

I love to punish and Surprise my Models :) I think making Photos is a nice even and I try to create a
good Atmosphere. I want everyone feel good. And everyone is important for me.

Its a Team Work of SoulMates.

     
China is the Production of the World.
It was very impressive to see a Factory.
The Technology for it is from Germany.

I travelt so far to see a Work from my Home Country.
This Factory was on the Way to get shut down as well.

Beijing become a Metro pole, The Industry of China is moving to the Countryside.
And the People from The Countryside moving to Beijing. More and More People
who take over to produce for the full World and Human Strengh is also in a high
Number needed.

Like Bunnys...Industry Bunny's.

I like this Work a lot, and I plan to do more Graphic Works.
Will be depends on my feeling and if I get a Client who need this service.

I have fun and I like to use my Photos and give them a new live.
When I was study Graphic design my Classmates always was not sure,
If I am Photographer or Designer. I always hated to be in a Box.

So I just follow my Ideas and a Creative Way to express my Mind.
With out and borders than the World of Ideas has nothing like that.

   I open a Flick account.

  You are welcome to take a look.
 

  Hope People like my Works, because I put
  my Soul in it.

  I just start so go and check my Works.

Thats my Black Book
I Use it for getting Ideas, I feel never boring so long I have a Pen and Paper.
I start to do this kind of Books 2 Years ago and in the End they all messed up,
But this one is Good.
Or What you think?

I will add more Sites on it, just my Scanner so slow.
So see this as a start.

 

Was a nice shooting and very surprising for myself. The Band called Pitchtuner a German-Japanese Mix Band,
the other 2 Members was not here sadly, But hannes the Programming, Guitar, Vocal, Electronics multi Talent
and nice guy came to Beijing for a Gig.

But Hannes made the Models at the shooting angry when he said he think Girls have to many Shoes! and
of course they beaten him up badly for that. But in the end it was pretty peaceful.

Pitchtuners music is a cool electro Club mix, which kick asses.

Some solo Projects witch are more Slow and chilling are made by Hannes as well.

http://www.myspace.com/pitchtuner take a look at there Space when u feel u like to move ur feet.

Matthias Austel (SoulMate)

Model for this Shooting was Yanami and Pitchtuner Hannes.

           

Old Souls, Who Play with Souls. Children with fragments of glass. In The House of Windows. Like a Doll on a thread.

       

     

I like drawing. In fact it all started with drawing. A Book from a Kindergarten classmate. Full of Pictures of Superman.
Later I remember my Father draw Spider man and many other things for me. And a drawing of an Easter egg
(whitch i thing was the best from the full Kindergarten group).
The feeling to loose myself in a line, a Journey of creation. The sadness when I am close to finish.
A drawing is free and most of my Photos coming from a Drawing.I use the Digital way of Drawing a Tablet and Photoshop,
Open Canvas and skechBook. Searching for a Color and a Paper made me crazy after a while.

Exception is My Black Book.

NA NA MI She comes from my first dream City Tokyo. And she is for Chinese People a non Typical Japanese Girl. (Not for me i watched Takeshis Castle and AV). But for Chinese are Japanese Girls are quite Shy and cute. Never Loud. That s not Yanami, she is the other Kind of Japanese. The Punk side. She do Kickboxing and Workout. Like Going out and be a Host. It was very nice to meet here we made a shooting at her home and it looks Japanese. Shoes out and sitting on the Ground. Sleeping on the Floor? No not so far her Boyfriend is from France. But Tee and Karaoke!! She make Personal Fitness training at her Home, so in case you are interested. Contact over Me.

Models are loved and always needed.

I looking for every type of Model, just be cool and brave.

Its the Western Live standard... Chinese People dream a kind of American Dream. But in a Lighter version.
To have a House in Beijing is not really Possible,
unlike Europe or America is it not allow to own Land forever. U can buy a House and for the Land under
your house you can buy a License.
In that way the land is yours for Maximum 70 Years. When I think long about it, I feel thats more fair
and after 70 Years u can (maybe not you) but ur Children or Grandchildren can Buy the Land again.

The Most Beijing People buy Apartments, in a Giant House Complex, they pay all in one,
or first the half and then for some Years every Months the rest.

Buying a Apartment is a good Investigation, the Value of Space in Beijing is growing and If you are not bound on Beijing.
You can sell your Apartment a Few Years later for Double. And of course I guess it will be the same like everywhere,
the price go higher and higher and then one Day crash the system. But for a While it work.


But thats not all I want to say. I want try to talk about my Photo shoot for Build an Idol.
It was one of the Ideas which are burning in my Brain and I must done it or my Head Explode.

I got Models from a Model Agency *Pioneer Models* Thanks for that. The Models both are from the Ukraine
*Anastasiya Babayeva and Julia Kozhukhar* They didn't know what kind of Shooting I plan and I was not sure too.
I just followed a feeling.

One Day before shoot we (Keyra and I) went to the Building Place.
The Building Area is Giant like a Town and a Wall of Dirty Blue and White Metal around. So at the Gate I was watched like a Alien.
I keep smiling like dump. We get asked what we want from a Worker. He is 45 I guess but he looks older,
His face friendly but teeth which explain how the Health care for Workers is.
And Skin like Leather from his hard work day on day outside.

He dont want give us his name or Number, but he promised us we can come tomorrow. For making Photos. He will be here.

Next day we come with the Models, Now they really look at us like we are out of Space. The Man from Yesterday was not here,
but a other friendly Man who say to my Girlfriend that she bring shame over China for bringing Foreigner to here
and that we better leave before he kick us back to America. (we are all not from America)

What now...
The Models feel like they waste there time and I don't want turn back.
So This Area here is Big and I find a other entry. We took a taxi and drive to the other side.
This time I don't ask, the first Group of Workers I see, I grab and let them Pose for a Photo.

first there are just a few Workers later it become a little Party and in the End there are 50 or more Workers around us.
The Shooting was like I wanted. We exchanged Mobile numbers and I promised them (Workers to bring Photos)
A few days later I came over again and gave them the Photos. They was happy like Children at Christmas.

I think its a nice Memory for all of us.

The House Builder are a Big part of Beijing, they Build Beijing, they build an Idol of a better life.

This Photo has so many Levels, how I start...
I start with Milk.
Milk is so healthy, good for the Bone and yes very sexy. Just can advice Girls to drink more Milk it also good for the Hair and Skin.
Next Point would be my Lolita Complex. It is so cute on Photo, but what I really want say and show is the new Generation of Chinese Girls.
They are open Minded, Independent and Intelligent. They want be free and not follow the traditional Way.

Now Smurfs and Communism. Thats a Theory which I have since i am 11 Years old. The Smurf are Communist. Absolute ! See the Cold Facts.
Every Smurf must wear the Smurf Clothes ( all white, Except the Leader who wear Red)

They Have no Money and everyone has his Job.
They Have a Hymie (La la lalalala La ...) Not a very Man one, but easy to sing along.
Papa Smurf as Father of the Nation, clearly the only Leader. (Dictatorship)

Gargamel they Bad Guy He want make Gold of the Smurfs he is the Symbol of the bad Capitalism.
I could go deeper in that but thats enough.

But dont get me Wrong Communism works clearly for Smurfs well.

Or you see my Photo so: a Little Girl Spit Milk in the Face of an Old Pervert Smurf.
