It’s a true pleasure to write a testimonial for Helmut. Helmut’s photostream has always been a great inspiration and most probably I wouldn’t photograph the way I do if I wouldn’t have discovered this great stream. Helmut speaks a very personal and clear language in his pictures – his compositions are always very artistic and precise, clean and balanced and full of elegance and fresh ideas. I am looking forward to see more of his work!

Superb photography and workings with colours. A real example for composition. Hey, you're there where I'd love to be. Zum nacheifern! (Jeder auf seine Weise natürlich....)

I love colors, I love lines, so I must love NightPhotographer! :) He makes me see every day, that the simple stuff is that really matters, please take a look and enjoy the color and simplicity of life!! :)

Helmut makes consistently provocative, superbly composed and vividly colourful and original shots, mostly within the subjects that fasinate me: Urban Architecture and Geometry . It takes a lot to produce quality images to a consistent standard with your own unique view of things - Nightphotographer you got it.

Pretty much some of the most fantastic and bright colored photography ever. I love his style.

NightPhotographer's an amazing photographer with a unique sense of perspective and colors. His shots are always so refreshing and neat which always make you want to come back for more! His photos should be displayed in modern art museums!

If you want to blame someone for the crap stuff I am doing, then it has to be Helmut. Since I came across his incredible stream, I fell absolutely in love with his art. So if you ever put a comment on one of my pics saying, that it reminds you just a little bit of Helmut's stuff, then I feel more than deeply honoured.

No one on Flickr does strong colors and geometry like Helmut. His style is extremely distinctive and creative. His vision captures the boundaries.

All around him Helmut sees & captures with his camera magnificent minimalist images wiith his ultra keen eye. His ability to turn urbane urban locations into something out of the ordinary is extraordinary. The fact that Munich is the principal source for these sublime creations is an additional pleasure for this old BMW gastarbeiter! Viewing his photostream inspires me now to look anew at my home city in a different, more aware way. Danke Helmut!

The urban Art Helmut produces every day is astonishing, and a real pleasure to look at. I'm personally inspired by the visions of this man, and I watch my town with different eyes since I met him. A must see on Flickr.

Of my flickr contacts whose work I admire, there are very few for whom I can say almost every one of their photos is great. Helmut is rare in that he seems never to take a bad photo.

Of my flickr contacts whose work I admire, there are very few for whom I can say almost every one of their photos is great. Helmut is rare in that he seems never to take a bad photo. Or even an average photo, for that matter. His shots are so good I have to hold myself back from commenting every single one that pops up on my flickr homepage. His style is - broadly speaking - minimal, clean and uncluttered, bursting with colour, and his shots are beautifully composed. His photos of the Munich underground are a must see for any flickr visitor looking for inspiration.

Resolute, very professionally taken photos of modern geometric shapes in the cities. Pure colours, clean lines, visually tricky shots. Objects included unusually in large backgrounds of homogeneous surroundings and thus made DAZZLING and immensely vivid. Or clever and witty and funny shots that have a message. NightPhotographer's shots possess the wondrous playfulness of essential colours and forms. The ability of noticing the specialities in our everyday urban lives and surroundings is also his gift. If you want to feed your hungry eyes with stunning, delicious, minimalist urban architecture shot delights - in colour as in shape as well - then come and enjoy NightPhotographer's works. NightPhotographer, thank you for sharing!

I have just reviewed Night Photographer's entire stream. I am amazed and inspired by the growth and volume of his work. It was very interesting to look at the entire collection as a whole and view the different phases and experiments as this artist discovered more about his own creativity and photographic talent. Night Photographer is my favorite artist on Flickr and inspires much of my own photography, as I grow and learn more about myself.

I don't believe it's possible to browse NightPhotographer's gallery and not feel you have something really important to learn from his work. Correction: I don't believe you won't be immediately influenced, even if you don't notice. We're facing a rediscovery of the urban environment here. A valuable one, in the sense that it gives urbanity a whole new and freshly positive meaning. Yes, NightPhotographer is taking the most from the city scenery, he is witnessing everything we're missing. Go look at his photos and wake up.

This is the first testimonial I write, never really thought about doing it but when seeing this I just had to. I was totally gob smacked when I started looking at nightphotographers stream, it is page after page filled with stunning, beautiful and very clever shots. I hope I one day will be as creative and be able to see that something to take photo of that not many people would do.

I am always so excited when I see NightPhotographer's thumbnails in my contacts. Colorful, minimalist, thrilling masterpieces, one or two in the morning is as good as an espresso. He has an amazing eye for for composition. While others might see the color, he knows how to frame the shot for maximum impact. Bravo!

I am immediately drawn to the incredible color and immaculate compostion of his thumbnails,alone! His images are amazing. If it didn't look so weird, I'd probably favorite them all. Thanks for the continuing inspiration!

With over 600 pictures and going strong, Night Photographer is one of the most prolific and inspiring visual artists at work on flickr. Time and time again he is able to delight us with glimpses of his visual landscape. With his stylish, chic, sometimes surprising and often very minimalist images, all rendered with great technical skill, NP (as I like to call him) is the master at work! Yet he excels in many styles and could not be accused of failing to experiment. Indeed, many of his crops are breathtakingly bold. Night Photographer has a vision of the world which combines a playful spirit with a serious talent for finding scenes with photographic potential. With his ability to observe the photographic possibilities in the mundane details of everyday life, he delights the viewer with his artful renditions and I am one of many who is so grateful for his work.

Night Photographer creates beautiful images full of color and simplicity. He has inspired me to look at things in different ways, and find things that are there that I would not have seen before.

Night Photographer is an incredible artist! discovered his stream not so long ago, and very soon found myself addicted ... he's simply one of the most talented photographers on flickr :)
