Finally! I reworked my website.
The design looks almost the same, but now, the entire site has a responsive design and works with all devices, making it more convenient on phones and tablets.

Issue 4/2014 of LFI - Leica Fotografie International introduces my train project „Zuglandschaften“.

For this reason, I decided to make a fine art print edition of the published photographs.
To find out more, follow the link:

www.peerkugler.com/photos/weg/

Available in English and German, the magazine can be found at many good newsstands around the World or at your local Leica Dealer or ordered directly from LFI Online.

After a long time in the making, “The Singled Person” is finally available as an iBook. We have added a lot of extras, allowing you a deeper look inside the singled person.

The book contains the original layout of the printed book, plus the complete slideshows from 2009 including around 200 photographs.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom or Phase One Capture One are just a few of the programmes on offer for the RAW processing of digital images. Each one has its pros and cons. This workshop offers a brief overview of the various programmes and then deals with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC. In the process, participants will learn how to organise and administer their pictures, and how to “develop” them to get the best out of them. Furthermore, there will be explanations about how to export the pictures, put them online and print them. After this workshop, participants will leave with enough knowledge to ensure that their pictures appear exactly like they saw them when they pressed the trigger… or even much better.

The following subjects will be discussed during the workshop:
- The library: how can the pictures be well organised?
- Developing: what can I do with my pictures?
- The web gallery: the simple way to put pictures online
- Printing: print pictures directly from Lightroom
- The book: a brief overview of Lightroom’s book function

About the photographer:
Peer Kugler was already working with Apple computers back in 1984. He became a photographer in 1995 and, since then, Macs have always proven to be outstanding tools for his work. Because of his knowledge, he was able to give comprehensive support to the computer department of the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York while he was studying there. When he started working as a photo editor at the Greenpeace Magazine in 2002, he was also asked to run the computer support for the editorial office. In 2009, Kugler began the move into digital photography. It was only once he had managed to apply analogue imagery to digital photography, however, that he started to photograph virtually exclusively with digital. To get to that point, he dealt intensively with the various picture-processing programmes available to us.

Bring along:
Digital camera, Notebook (preferably with a trial version of Lightroom installed), charger for the computer, cable or reading device for the camera.

Depending on availability, camera equipment from the current Leica product portfolio can be borrowed (insured for the duration of the workshop)

“The Singled Person”: Eight photographers for eight simultaneous projections

Shown at the Hamburg Photo Triennial 2008, New York Photo Festival 2008, Journées Photographiques de Bienne 2009, Berliner Kunstsalon 2009, Eyes On - Month of Photography Vienna 2010 and at the Wiesbadener Fototage 2011, the project combines the work of 8 different photographers who share a subtle and impressionistic approach to reality. “The Singled Person” is an installation of eight unsynchronized slide projectors. Each exhibition is designed with the particular space in mind and is therefore unique. Here Michael Ackerman, Morten Andersen, Lorenzo Castore, Adam Cohen, Thorsten Kirchhoff, Peer Kugler, André Lützen, and Hisashi Murayama all combine their own distinctive artistic handwriting to capture the moment.

They favor the portrayal of cities at night, often on the border between the visual and the abstract. In these images, the individual appears out of focus and mysterious. Whether the subject is alone or in a group, everyone here remains in a state of alienation, just as the photographer no matter how intimate or close he is to his subject, remains alone.

The projection, “The Singled Person” gives the viewer the opportunity to connect emotionally, as recurrent moments of life are summarized, displaced, connected, or just pass by.

Eight photographers for eight simultaneous projections: the project “The Singled Person” is offering a subjective lecture on the relationship of the individual and his environment.

Thomas Dworzak . The Megapolis Tour # 3 Lagos
+ Highlights from The Megapolis Tour # 1 + 2
06.02 to 28.02.10
Opening. 05.02.10 . 7pm

“Lagos City vs. New York, got to look busy, make some money flow, between the buildings we don’t look up, drive by ’em robbery or stick-up, ain’t no better, everybody knows, it's our city, and we love it so.” Keziah Jones, musician

In Lagos’ Broad Street and New York’s Wall Street, you just might discover the same atmosphere of global adventure-seeking, that mixture of cool finance poker and lavish desire for amusement, an “all you can get” attitude. For a long time Lagos wasn´t at all a megacity like New York. In 1901, the largest city of Nigeria numbered a mere 37,000 inhabitants, in 1921 there were 100,000 and in 1971, already 1.2 million. Today there are 9 million people living in the entire state and in the year 2020, there will be over 14 million.

It is this dynamic that characterizes today’s megacities, the speed, the tenacity, the craziness. And in the middle of the overkill are the people who are trying to survive in them, with their hope and visions and unbridled energy. The German MAGNUM-photographer Thomas Dworzak shows all of this in the third part of the series The Megapolis Tour. In addition, C/O Berlin presents a selection of the first two exhibitions: New York by Peer Kugler and Bombay by Johann Rousselot.

The Megapolis Tour introduces the cities destined to be the largest by 2020. From Tokyo with forecasted 36,4 Million inhabitants to Bombay, São Paulo, Mexico City, Delhi, New York, Dhaka, Calcutta, Shanghai, Karachi, Cairo, Lagos, Manila to Buenos Aires. Different photographers present his/her personal view of the so-called “Megapolis” landscape.

In conjunction with the projections in Biel / Bienne and Berlin, we decided to publish a book about the singled person. The book will be available for purchase during the projections or you can order it from schaden.com.

We will soon publish a list of book dealers were the book is available.

Softcover 15 x 19 cm., 64 pages, Schaden.com 2009, ISBN 3-932187-75-X, EURO 18.00

THE MEGAPOLIS TOUR is a new exhibition series on the world’s largest metropolises by barthouse culture concepts. The idea was born from the fact that soon two thirds of the world’s population will live in cities
On a monthly term we will portray exciting cities such as Lagos, Buenos Aires, Tokyo and many more.

THE MEGAPOLIS TOUR #1: New York by Peer Kugler was on show during Berlin Fashion Week at 14 oz. Those that missed it will be pleased to read that it will also be displayed in a joint exhibition alongside #2: Bombay as seen through the lens of Belgian photographer JOHANN ROUSSELOT (*1971).

Always carrying a camera with me, this series of photographs evolved from taking pictures ‘at random’. Rather then preconceiving a project with following guidelines and concepts, these works are developed from several years of photographing. Letting the images talk by themselves and finding their own way. Trying to take photographs by feeling and impulse, rather then conceptualizing them before they are taken. The exhibition is the result of this approach towards photography.
Walking through the streets of western cities, taking pictures “at random”; I have found that loneliness becomes more and more evident. Raising the question: ‘why?’
There seem to be endless reasons. Disappearing family structures. The growing use of media, separating people more, then bringing them together. The increased speed at which life moves along. The loss of memory, as there is no more time to reflect. Everything has to be there at an instant. Running from one to the other. Lacking the patience life requires. Resulting in more and more lonely people. Lost in our time.
I hope these images will make you stop for a moment. To think about your own loneliness and ask yourself, why? Whether you are alone, or lonely among the many...

Thierry Kleiner from Tangophoto is presenting the SlideNite in Bern, Switzerland. Each month, SlideNite will introduce the work of two photographers at the Progr - the center for cultural productions in Bern.
On the 15th of May, the thematic is "lost souls" and I will be showing the "Lonely Souls" and the new "Urban Places" slideshows.

Hope to see you there….
