Two series, both taken entirely on a phone. In April 2025 the marathon in Madrid on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, in October 2026 a night at the Prater in Vienna on the Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi. No big camera, no assistant, just the phone in my hand and people in motion.

A smiling pacer in a white cap and mirrored sunglasses runs past dark facades, a large white balloon floating on a string above her.

Madrid, April 2025

The marathon on 27 April 2025: runners, supporters and hard light between the facades.

A beaming runner high-fives a row of cheering supporters in yellow jackets while the field fills the street behind her.
A laughing runner in a light blue shirt reaches out to a small child sitting on a woman's shoulders at the edge of the course.
A spectator in sunglasses cheers with her mouth wide open and claps as runners pass on the tree-lined road behind her.
A runner in a pink top smiles in the low sun on a wide city street, with more runners following behind her.
A runner in a blue marathon shirt strides past a stone building with her arms spread wide, laughing under a deep blue sky.
A flag and cheering sticks marked Adidas Runners Madrid wave at the roadside as runners' legs cross the sunlit asphalt.
Two runners sprint side by side in full stride, the street blurred behind them and their long shadows cast on the bright asphalt.
A spectator seen from behind cheers runners on with a thumbs-up in front of a giant Xiaomi 15 Series billboard covering a building.

Vienna, October 2026

One evening at the Prater: the Giant Ferris Wheel, the bumper cars and the chain carousel.

A child on a smiling woman's shoulders stretches an arm towards the red-lit Giant Ferris Wheel at the Prater at night.
Two boys with ice cream cones stand at a railing at the Prater at night, the younger one shouting with excitement.
A laughing boy rides piggyback on a woman who licks his ice cream, a blue-lit chain carousel glowing behind them at night.
Two boys ride a bumper car at night, one steering with concentration, the other cheering with both arms in the air.
A boy on a chain carousel spreads his arms and beams in mid-flight, a woman waves behind him and the lights of the Prater blur below.
