Hey, my name is Jörg Steinhauer.
I am a web developer, photographer / video-dude, drummer and dad of two gold energy machines.

I started with web development around 2001, back when I was using MS Word and similar questionable methods. The first version of this website was created in 2002. At that time, everything was done with HTML tables – the entire layout was based on them. Then I discovered Adobe GoLive, a tool that allowed me to create websites without needing any coding skills. Inline CSS was common, CSS files were for the pros, and spacing was achieved with transparent images… what a crazy world. Over time, I got the hang of using CSS files, styling with classes instead of IDs, and even hacking MySpace layouts with CSS – but I digress.
By the time I started my training as a media designer in 2006, it was clear where my professional journey was headed. I was turning my hobby into a career, and I still enjoy it today. The combination of design and programming is what makes it exciting for me and keeps me motivated.
Gradually, more areas of web development came into play – JavaScript, CMS, RWD, SEO, tools, and so on.
I’ve grown fond of the Adobe family, having started with the classic Photoshop 6, though nowadays I use other tools as well – being flexible is important.
Frontend web development is my field. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in this topic!
My first (real) camera was the Canon 400D, which I bought with my first paycheck as an apprentice. My true love for DSLRs began with the Nifty Fifty, and ever since, I’ve been in love with bokeh. Over the years, my gear has gone through several upgrades – Canon 7D, Canon 5D MK III, and now I’m using the Sony A7 III and Sony A7s. Sony was far ahead of the competition when it came to high ISO performance. Nowadays, other brands have caught up, but for now, I’m sticking with Sony. Every brand has its pros and cons, but at the end of the day, the best camera is the one you have with you.
The transition from photography to video wasn’t a long one – it made sense to start working with moving images as well. After getting into photography, video naturally followed, especially with the Canon 7D and its video mode. With the Sony A7 series, I reached a whole new level. And thanks to increasingly powerful computers, video editing has finally become fun.
I shoot videos on topics I enjoy – mainly events, concerts, music videos, and promotional films.
Motion design is the latest step I’m currently exploring. With all the video tutorials available, it’s even more enjoyable.
The recent breakthroughs in AI will undoubtedly reshape this field, as well as many others, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.
