We’re currently in production on a new documentary exploring Tinder, online dating, and the surprisingly creative ways people throw sticks and stones at themselves in the pursuit of love, and interpersonal contact of any kind.

From endless swiping and impossible expectations to ghosting, breadcrumbing, and the occasional existential crisis disguised as a profile update, we’re taking a closer look at what modern dating has become. And what it might be doing to us along the way.

It’s funny, uncomfortable, honest, and at times a little absurd take on modern dating. Much like online dating itself.

The documentary is scheduled for release at the end of the year, arriving alongside the launch of our DateSafe app. After spending months documenting the chaos, confusion, and questionable decision-making of digital dating, launching a tool designed to make the experience safer and smarter felt like the logical next step.

Stay tuned. And maybe don’t update your bio just yet.

And just in case, here’s DateSafe

Welcome to mostlyAWESOME devLABS; the slightly unhinged, deeply obsessive, and suspiciously overengineered playground where movie props stop pretending and start performing!

We have built this for you!

While other productions are busy slapping green text on a black screen and calling it “hacking,” we took it personally. devLABS is our answer: a growing repository of custom-built software, physical mockups, and downright ridiculous devices designed to make on-screen tech feel real. Not “movie real.” Actually real.

Need a radar app that doesn’t just look cool but behaves like it could track something? Done.
A lab console that boots, glitches, logs, and reacts like it has secrets? Obviously.
A prop device that actors can actually use instead of aggressively tapping nonsense? We built that too.

Everything in devLABS is tailor-made – optimized for specific devices, scenes, and cinematic shots where authenticity matters.

Because nothing kills immersion faster than an actor confidently typing on a keyboard that isn’t even plugged in.

And yes, we know. It’s overkill…
That’s kind of the point!

So if you’ve ever paused a movie just to cringe at a fake UI… relax. We’re fixing that. One absurdly detailed prop at a time.

mostlyAWESOME devLABS — because “good enough for the audience” was never good enough for us.

We spent the last few days out and about with various multitrack recorders and a director’s viewfinder, sampling the right sounds for our film.

It was a crazy amount of work in the cold and deep snow, but we pulled it off.

The recordings are in the can now and will soon be put to their final use, as FX for several scenes we’ll shoot in front of a bluescreen and then fill out visually in UE5, and audibly with those FX recordings as well.

And just as a side note, it was damn creepy in some of the places!

“Fine, but what is this all about? Why am I here and what is happening? “ – That’s kind of what you’re about to say, right?

Give me a second, and I’ll explain the monkey business right away…

You’ve been walking down the street, until you found one of those stickers, and I guess you tried to get the free stuff by scanning the QR-code, which brought you here, and afterwards to this message here, right?

As you already might have noticed, you’ve been promised the world if you just click, but you didn’t get anything in exchange! You only had to watch a stupid video with monkeys. Well, I’m here to change that!

I’m a professional photographer, as you can see here, and thus…

2 professional portraits + retouching * – 100% free of charge!

* Technical details: [ 2 prints in 148 x 100 mm + digital photos as TIFF. ]

And in detail: We make those portraits right at your place or any other location you might prefer. I will pop up with my assistant, and soon you’ll be in posession of some of the best portraits out there!

You can use them for social media for example, as super high quality profile pictures.

Or: – and you need to ask me before I’m on my way to you – you can get a set of professional portraits with a white backdrop and professional retouching for example (the kind you need for passports), all done on location and in under an hour.

How do I claim the prize?

So you found one, and want to claim your portraits? Just send me a message via Whatsapp, with your name and location, and we’ll figure something out!

Good luck everyone, and for those who already got lucky – Ooh ooh ah ah!

Edit: This was awesome, but we’re done now, at least in Germany. Next we’ll be monkeying around in the Netherlands!

We’ve moved the news archive to a new structure that’s easier for readers to navigate – so far, so good!

However, we had to start almost from scratch to ensure the news page looks clean and organized. The “old” news can be found right here, and this link will remain available permanently until we find a better way to migrate the older posts.

Thank you for your patience, and I hope you continue to enjoy exploring my work!

Urban Warfare – that’s the title, even though it doesn’t really refer to a conventional war. It’s about the clash of cultures that has been waged for decades with increasing brutality and determination. Originally, the series consisted of just two images I created for someone in Mexico; they’re now framed and hanging in an office. However, the subject felt too important to let it gather dust, so I went on to translate other pivotal incidents into visual form.
