Vaporwave Cologne

As a lover of photography and all things vibrant and colorful, I was thrilled to attend the Fun Fair in Cologne back in November of 2011. The sights, sounds, and energy of the fair were simply electric, and I knew that I had to capture this experience through my lens.

And so, armed with my trusty camera, I set out to capture the essence of the fair - its bold colors, playful energy, and carnival-like atmosphere. I experimented with heavy color grading techniques, pushing the boundaries of traditional photography to create a truly unique and vibrant aesthetic.

As I look back on these images today, I am transported back to that magical evening in Cologne, filled with the joy and excitement of the fair. The vivid colors and dynamic composition of each shot serve as a testament to the power of photography to capture the beauty and energy of the world around us.

In conclusion, my experience at the Fun Fair in Cologne was a true highlight of my photographic journey, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have captured it through my lens. It serves as a reminder of the joy and excitement that can be found in even the most mundane experiences, and the power of photography to transform these moments into works of art.
