Tom Fähndrich (@tofenpics): Best of the Week 47 at #nomadict
Tom shares the journey behind his winning photography, from a passion for exploration and remote places to field lessons, composition choices, and color grading.
My passion for photography / videography started at the age of 12; with my first camera I took a photography course in my country. I don’t really know where my interest in photography came from or what made me discover photography, but I do remember that when I got my first phone, I had fun creating my first “videos” on the Nokia with 2 mp. I filmed a friend when he played the drums, or my cat when he was playing.
As I was interested in photography and videography and I am very into snowboarding, I decided to buy myself a GoPro cam, after which I started recording and editing my first sports videos. Slowly I started buying more and more equipment; mirrorless, photographic lenses, gimbal, drone, GoPro…
Being a travel vlogger is something I’d love doing as well; just documenting in an incredible way what I am experiencing and how great it is to be outside, seeing different places in a very active and adventurous way. I think that outdoor sports is the healthiest thing to do both mentally and physically wise. My goal is to get to collaborate with some companies in the outdoor sports world, to create sports videos and documentaries.
Lately, I’m concentrating more on creating videos than on photographing. I feel that I can better express myself and my emotions with video. These passions have given me the opportunity to meet a lot of fantastic people with whom to share my hobbies with, to spend the days outdoors, to create content and to exchange opinions and advice.
Because if you have a story to tell, you already have a winning shot. With my photos or videos I can tell something, and what matters most to me is to show how much passion I put in creating a video or in taking a photo. I don’t have a precise goal when editing a photo, but what I do want is that people can see that I love what I am doing, that I appreciate the nature and that I have given it the attention it deserves.
