About me...

Sucker for beauty, special light and this tiny unforgettable moments.

I started photography at the age of 10, when I got an old analog camera from my Dad. Soon it became a tool for me to figure out more about myself and the world. Photography helps me to frame the world and to focus again, when I get distraced. While taking pictures, there is nothing else than my view through the camera. Photography also helps me observing. With my camera I get a legal and professional way for this obsession. And photography also gives me an excuse to discover new ground and get to know new people. At the end, photography is just a way of seeing things and going through life.

My photography is all about humans and their lifes. Nothing interests me more than people with their peculiarities, different cultures, curiosities, passions and stories. I am very much into portrait, reportage, travel and street photography.
