each of his pictures is thought provoking and full of secrets. these strangely abstract images tell stories that are devoid of people. scope enough nama to know what i think the night shots tell very different kinds of stories with the interior shots it's mainly about the materials that is all my thoughts light is usually omnipresent if with and has a strong effect on surfaces and reflects everything. with night shots but if you have the shadows and this gloom which tell me more of a story also. i thought the who this man existed at sea is.

that if he think it out watch i try to capture the aesthetics are generated by this location as best as i can in the photo. anything that interferes is eliminated. interest kind of course no people appear in the pictures to distract from the aesthetics to think ons of something and with night shots it's clear that much of the surroundings is shrouded in black and that you don't see much but that's my approach. conscient seat doesn't slow down inside. a guy some piece of you know what i'm like i compared a bit with painting where you keep adding layers until you think that the. sure is

finished and stopped it's also the same with scouting out locations for buildings so you keep coming back and see what state they're in. and when they're finished god they are just before they're ready to be used so you have to be there to take a picture which doesn't experience a mom. who else would shoot the back of an industrial building or a garage entrance at night. julieann fall harbor is patient and picky normally just eight photos a year meet his exacting standards so his body of work is small but his pictus are large formats and they featured an international exhibitions and collections. we took him out within the hour by i always want to work with things that are produced by people i'll offer but here too i try to exert as little influence as possible. of course that's subjective and through time i try not to stage things too dramatic wait for them rather i let them speak for themselves if i do that one space is too

but it's harder to convey because they look so bright and unreal. born in southern germany in one nine hundred seventy five follow have a now calls billion. it takes us to places that are familiar yet unfamiliar the t.v. studios of german public broadcasters the d n a rental car off this. he shows us the skies over cairo where the light from your own signs illuminates the haze like an abstract painting. supermarket shelves empty and mysteriously beautiful. like this work for the new york times magazine in twenty eleven what looks like painted stripes untouched to live fields seen from above thought also meant as a stand that he thought was king of the home when i said i was going to holland to photograph tulips people thought of these cliched images. romantic pictures of to

look through and different from. what came of it was an image that defined people's expectations. and he did it without resorting to tricks. you land falling hard as images on more than five down. the countdown is on to what is most likely going to be the wedding of the year prince harry and meghan marco will finally tie the knot this saturday with the world watching now for normal wedding preparations usually began a year in advance while harry and megan got engaged just six months ago so you can imagine the frenzy surrounding their big day we take a closer look now at some of the preparations under way in the second part of our series dream wedding.

the countdown is on to their big day. the preparations in windsor are well underway . the town just west of london and its famous castle will be hosting the boyle wedding festivities. the most more than an intimate role weddings tend to happen at windsor and that was very much what harry wanted for his own wedding he wanted as much of a family wedding and as and for will and affairs he possibly could and the best backdrop for that was deemed to be some georges and he wins on his very close connection with winds up harry was baptized in st george's chapel where the couple are to exchange their vows they've invited six hundred guests less than half the number of william and kate's wedding the sealed invitation sent out weeks ago were printed by barnard in westwood in london the guest list is top secret but it said not to include any heads of government so prominent names will be in short supply.

make in being a hollywood actress well i think we can expect to see some of her costars from suits friends that she's made in hollywood priyanka chopra for example serena williams who's a close friend so meghan will certainly bring a good sprinkling of stardust that we might otherwise not have asked of royal wedding the occasion will bring the british royal house and hollywood together that poses a special challenge in planning the ceremony court protocol is quite strict. some of these people that she will be inviting are presumably hollywood's a list and they used to being the most important person in the room when they go anywhere if they're invited to this waxing they're not going to be among the most important people in the rain we've got the whole of the british royal family not least the queen of england and when she's in a room she's the most important person in the rain. also on the guest list are making marco's divorced parents doria raglan and thomas market though it's still

unclear whether her father will attend or not. like all the guests they would have to observe a dress code the men are to appear in uniform morning coat or lounge suit the ladies are to wear day dress with a hat making marco's wedding gown is another secret and so is the bridal bouquet london florist philip a tragic that's the job of creating it megan is said to love peonies but the royals are partial to this flower myrtle. queen elizabeth had them in her. as did lady diana. so much as a strong tradition. queen victoria was given a sprig of by. and she took that policy back. and from there on the spring. wedding the case ever since the first. daughter victoria and more recently from kate middleton choosing to have. after the ceremony

harry and megan are to ride through windsor in a carriage specifically a nineteenth century ascot landau or if it rains in a scottish day coach. it will be pulled by the traditional windsor great horses because it's going to be a very busy day and very noisy why she was al safest most reliable horses so we tend to go for the old horses the old studies that have been around before and we know. hundreds of thousands of well wishers are expected along the roadside through the town of windsor the procession is to end back at the castle then comes the wedding banquet at st george's hall in windsor. the menu and wine list are still objects of speculation but it is known who will bake the wedding cake. claire pathak owner of the violet bakery in london like megan she hails from california. what's going to. so interesting about this waiting is to see how that will and i think certainly in the evening hot of the celebrations that wedding party i think

you're going to see in the house of mike and i think if the l.a. influence but of course the actual ceremony itself this is a royal wedding it will have all the poems on the pageantry and circumstance that we expect the roll wedding and that's very much against b. harry styles. rumor has it that elton john will be on hand and maybe even sing. for a while there was even speculation that the spice girls might reunite. the same time the wedding is meant to be as intimate and personal as possible. this is that day everything i've heard about how they plan to is that they've done it to put their own stamp on things i think they will to do things differently respectfully but differently because they're very keen for this to be their way to . whether it's private or full of pomp and circumstance california or british one thing's for sure prince harry and megan marco's wedding on saturday will be the

while events of the year. now is a good time to let you in on our draw this week now in light of harry and megan's upcoming now nuptials we would like to know if you have a favorite wedding photo now it could be one from your own big day or even from someone else's if you share it with us you could qualify to win this royal wedding said you'll find all of the details on our website now when it comes to royalty there is a great deal of protocol but kings queens princesses and the like well they are all people too and with a sense of humor perhaps or even a nickname so here are. five odd nicknames given to european royals that you probably didn't know of. before she married prince william and became catherine duchess of cambridge kate

middleton had a fairly ordinary life. complete with house pets classmates and an interesting nickname our number five in school people called her sweet after the class skinny thing. today she may answer to her royal highness but catherine still likes to mingle with common folk. her husband prince william also has an animal nickname. when he was a child his mother diana lovingly christened him a wombat on a trip to australia just like the more soup eels found down under it's number four in our ranking of odd royal nicknames and rumor has it william still called wombat today. danish queen modulator the second is also not addressed as your majesty by her family since her childhood she answers to the nickname d.c.

. that's because the french name for this flower is muggy which sounds much like mother data. for swedish crown princess victoria and her husband daniel the birth of daughter stella was really special for christening the swedish government gave her two hundred children's books including four spotted by margaret ray it's about a bunny who spots make him special so a sales nicknamed trick in our number two. thousand nine hundred ninety five denmark's crown prince frederick served with the danish naval special operations force the frogmen corps curiosity the name for penguin and some say frederick got the name after getting a hole in his frogmen suit which then filled with water when he went ashore he was like a penguin and the name stuck ever since. see even royals

have a good sense of humor while one place where sunglasses selfies are no laughing matter is that the khan film festival in southern france protocol there is pretty strict now you may remember a couple of years ago there was a major shoe scandal at the festival because some actresses chose to wear flats instead of the obligatory high heels so in this vein my colleague adrian kennedy points out they do is they and they don't say. they want to put me in the movie in the canada so to. the cannes film festival red carpet is infamous for its rules which must be obeyed time find out what you can and can't do. and the red carpet. the red carpet the place to be for everybody who is anybody and those who want to

be somebody the red carpet there are a few rules which much be obeyed this year no sunglasses my colleague was turned away for wearing sunglasses had to take them off they banned selfies on the red carpet and getting really aggressive to anyone who even has a phone out cannes festival director freeh mo has called sophie's ridiculous and grotesque and heels heels are not officially part of the protocol anymore so i come way you can wear here so you can definitely wear heels yeah. i shall go. but. following the rule.

it's not allowed to work doctor offices at the red carpet. no sunglasses no don't go. and even the photographers have to wear a tuxedo. so you know do you think ah if i'm all right for the red carpet now yeah it's a very good shot you look very in danish and. so often the camera is in the can and can we can and. this was my red carpet for me yeah join us next time when we were trying to make a splash in. our age or in the pronounce for the record for non station is con but he says tomato i say tomato while in case you didn't see that other episode of in the k.
