I am a ger­man pho­to­graph­er based in Ham­burg. I like to shoot por­traits most. As a lot of people seem to like my land­scapes and my spe­cial view on people and places, I decided to go pub­lic with my work.

I see a lot of beauty in life. People, nature, land­scapes – even trash can be beau­ti­ful. And I find it beau­ti­ful the way it is. I do not need to over­ex­ag­ger­ate. Today a lot of people tend to think, that what is there, is not enough. Everything is pimped up. More col­our, more shine, more per­fec­tion.

I do not fol­low that path. I try to show the world the way I am see­ing it. Full of beauty, some­times poet­ic, often iron­ic
– and always unique.

Gal­ler­ies

I travel a lot and have my cam­era with me all the time. I do not care about sand, dust, sun, water, weird people … That gives me the oppor­tun­ity to shoot very spe­cial moments.

Pro­jects

Some­times I see things dif­fer­ently. First it is just an idea and then sud­denly a photo becomes a work of art because it is more than a pic­ture.
It trans­ports an idea.

Shop

You like my pho­tos? Cool! Buy selec­ted pic­tures as high-qual­ity framed art prints. In case you do not find your favour­ite pic­ture in the shop, tell me!

Per­son­al

You want a per­son­al por­trait? Someone who accom­pan­ies you and doc­u­ments an event? You can book me on an hourly or daily basis.

Stu­dio

My stu­dio is very suit­able for por­traits, it is small but per­fectly equipped. It’s cent­rally loc­ated, close to Ham­burg’s main rail­way sta­tion, yet quiet and intim­ate. I use it myself, but it is also avail­able for hire.

“To me, pho­to­graphy is an art of obser­va­tion. It’s about find­ing some­thing inter­est­ing in an ordin­ary place …

I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
