Portrait of Klaus at die Goldene Bar

Klaus - Die Goldene Bar, Munich, August 2024

Late in the summer, whilst sipping on a “dirty old bastard” cocktail and reclining on the terrace at the Goldene Bar, probably after an Eisbach swim, I asked Klaus if I could take his portrait. He said “sure, but it would be better inside at the bar”, so he rode his bike into the bar and I followed. At the time I just had my Leica 35mm camera with me and the results were acceptable but I knew I could do a little better with a flash setup because it’s quite dark inside. A week later I came back with a lightstand, flash, modifier and my Hasselblad 501cm medium format film camera and took a few rolls of film. This frame turned out to be my favourite image. Thanks Klaus for helping me continue with my Munich bar man portrait series.
