After a few detours, I now live in Frankfurt am Main, where I was born. After studying visual communication, I worked as a filmmaker – you can find more information about my films here. In addition to working on my films, I have been focusing more and more on photography and now alternate evenly between moving and still images.
There are similarities and differences between film and photography. I value the moment of observation and the process of exploration in both. The photographic image, as a single image, I perceive as contemplative. Putting one image in dialog with another creates a narrative in the viewer’s mind. A series can deepen a theme. Photography is a language with its own specificity.
My pleasure in photography is the process of extracting space and time and transforming them into an image. I’m drawn to the precious in the mundane.
For me, photography is the art of discovering things and transforming them into a visual expression. With an open mind and a bit of luck, I find my images everywhere. I call them improvised treasures.
My photographic approach is intuitive, combining controlled chance and conscious selection. This process sometimes evolves into further conceptual work and deepening of the subject.
