I loved taking photos even as a child.

I started out small, in the truest sense of the word -

with a pocket camera and the negative format 13 x 17 mm.

​

Then, on my 16th birthday, as a gift from my grandmother, came the technological quantum leap:

​

A single-lens reflex camera

She opened up entirely new worlds of photography for me.

I got up at 4 a.m. to watch deer in the early morning mist.

and at night on a bridge to see the light trails of

Photographing cars.

I spent entire weekends in the darkroom, fascinated by how an image slowly emerges on a piece of paper.

I almost always had my camera with me. One day a disc jockey saw me with it and asked if I could take photos at his event – ​​that very same evening!

Now, apart from my Nikon, I had no other equipment -

but also not much time to think.

I agreed, and with a bit of improvisation and a borrowed tripod, I mastered my first assignment. The result was obviously well-received – since then I've been hired regularly.

A spontaneous job turned into a career.

After starting out in event photography, I have continuously expanded my knowledge and skills – including through practical training at the Wilhelm-Wagenfeld-School and

the Pforzheim School of Photo Design as well as through numerous workshops

on lighting techniques, portraiture, image composition and editing.

Today I work as a photographer with a special focus on people:

Whether authentic portraits, emotional snapshots or staged photos with personality -

I approach every recording with passion and creativity.

In addition, I realize projects in product photography where aesthetics, clarity and brand impact are crucial.
