I spent a few days photographing people and their phones in Manhattan. Fascinating how nobody seems to put them away anymore, we just hold them in our hands at all times.

On the road with Peter Hossli in Tijuana and San Diego a few weeks ago, on assignment for Swiss SonntagsBlick magazine for some ⚽️ World Cup related stories. This one about cross border soccer enthusiasm (and American tailgating at a Mexican soccer game) was so much fun and it proves once more that the border region is a culturally vibrant space where both 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 sides gain and learn from each other on so many levels. ⚽️✍️📸🎈!!

Thank you - American Photographic Artists - for choosing my image of American photographer in Agua Prieta, Mexico, as one of the winners in the Off The Clock 2026 photo contest!!

My long term work (LA FRONTERA: Artists along the US-Mexican Border) along the US-Mexico border tries to shine a different and positive light on the binational and bicultural 2000 miles long border region, where over the years I photographed 200 artists and art supporters on both sides of the border.

My ‘Reflecting New York‘ project in an outdoors exhibition at presented by will be up until August !!

About the series:
Using a hand held mirror in familiar locations around New York, photographer Stefan Falke creates images that will surprise and intrigue the viewer, and himself. By deliberately showing his hand holding the mirror Falke makes his presence known, adding a storytelling quality to his photos and drawing attention to the dialogue between the city, the subject, and the photographer.

I had one last idea for my otherwise finalized ’Reflecting New York‘ project (already a book and exhibited at by as we speak) so I used yesterday‘s hot day for a boat ride to the Statue of Liberty where this young lady made no secret of where she was going 🤣 We’ll see if my idea worked out, it looks good after a first edit. It was definitely worth going !! !!
