Muses are for losers! A reflection inspired by Nick Cave

Kai Hornung February 23, 2024

An article by Nick Cave made me reflect on a different perspective about self expressive art. Instead of lamenting writer’s block or the absence of a muse, get going as an artist, because as you will read inside this blog article there is a deeper purpose behind artistic creation and its profound impact on the human experience. Discover how artists play a pivotal role in enriching lives and providing solace in times of crisis. Read about redefining the essence of creativity as a beacon of light and empathy in an ever-changing world.

Settling with yourself (about finding style)

Kai Hornung April 18, 2022

Starting out with photography I often read advice like “you need to have a distinct style” and “your work needs to be cohesive”. Here is why I believe this is not a helpful advice at all.

Time to breathe

heading out - finally

Time to breathe

Kai Hornung August 16, 2020

I feel relief. I feel pressure. I feel happiness and I feel anxiety. But most of all I feel curious.

Some very personal reflection about my upcoming Iceland trip.

Pre-visualization: forget about it

Kai Hornung February 12, 2020

How I found perfect conditions to photograph just to end up frustrated of my pre-visualizations and expectations. …and bad preparation.

A story about turning failure into joy and a lesson learned.

      this is it, finally: my homepage

      this is it, finally: my homepage

start

Kai Hornung January 5, 2018

I have planned this page for quite some time. And the seed of having my own homepage was planted in summer or maybe even a bit before. I thought "well, if this photo thing keeps going like it does you will need a homepage eventually. But first of all, you need decent shots to show.". And so I waited. And took images. And processed. And learned. And erased. And started over again. 

..That being said, welcome to this place! I hope you will make yourself feel home here and enjoy my homepage. Come on in and have a look around. I hope you like what you see.
