Creativity and passion
Even as a child, I loved taking photographs.
I started small in the truest sense of the word -
with a pocket camera and the negative format 13 x 17 mm.
On my 16th birthday, a technological quantum leap came as a gift from my grandmother:
A SLR camera
It opened up completely new photography worlds for me.
I got up at 4 a.m. to see deer in the early morning mist and at night on a bridge,
to photograph the light trails of cars.
I spent entire weekends in the darkroom - fascinated by
how a picture slowly emerges on a piece of paper.
I almost always had my camera with me. One day a DJ saw me with it and asked,
if I could take photos at his event - that same evening!
Now I had no other equipment besides my Nikon - but I didn't have much time to think about it either.
I accepted, and with a little improvisation and a borrowed tripod, I completed my first assignment. The results were clearly well received—I've been hired regularly since then.
Event photography became an integral part of my professional life for a while.
During this phase, I continued my education intensively - among others at the Wilhelm-Wagenfeld-Schule
and the Photo Design School Pforzheim, as well as through numerous workshops on portrait techniques, lighting, image composition and image processing.
But all that is behind me today.
However, the passion remains.
No longer as a profession, but consciously as a free, creative outlet. Today, I photograph purely for the joy of it, especially as part of TfP projects.
I am fascinated by the real moment, the expression of a face, the play of light and mood.
Whether calm portraits, emotional snapshots or deliberately staged scenes -
Each recording is the result of a personal impulse, not a commission.
