The new snapshot "Humor" is here!
The new snapshot is here and is now ready for you in the store and will be included in your packages from mid-August.
If you are already familiar with Schnappschuss magazine, you may know that we look for a specific topic for each issue. Or rather, a concept that is then illuminated from all sides and addressed in a variety of ways. So we pondered this time as well. Even at home, I thought about it out loud until my girlfriend finally said, "Why don't you do something funny?" "Hmm, why not?", I pondered. After all, the news of the last few months and years was often not too pleasant, so cheering things up couldn't go amiss. Internally, the proposal also met with enthusiasm. So the course was set for the new "Humor" issue. The result is in your hands (or take a look at it online). The beauty of humor is that there are many facets, because everyone finds something different funny. While not every post may appeal to all tastes, we think there's something here for everyone. "Laughter is the best medicine" is not just a saying, but scientifically proven. Only recently, the University of Jena published a study that confirmed the effect of laughter therapies. Positive effects on physical and mental health were found. Thus, it is hardly surprising that laughter has been an integral part of humanity for thousands of years. The oldest known joke dates from about 4,000 years ago. With the term "humor", photography also impressively shows how versatile it can be and how much potential it has. Be it through everyday situations as in Tavepong Pratoomwong's street photography, in the portrait photography of Andy Gotts or the surreal worlds of ideas of Matthias Schwaighofer and Ingo Lindmeier, who bring their visions to life.
Of course you can read the magazine here digitally as an e-paper. As mentioned at the beginning, you will find the printed version of Schnappschuss in many mail-order parcels from mid-August and in our Düsseldorf store from now on.
