AUTHOR
I am water-, urban- and landscape photographer located in western Germany. I’ve been active in the field of photography since about 2008 and I’m continuously working to improve and realizing my vision of unique atmospheric scenery. During my childhood I was frequently traveling all over the earth with my parents on countless endeavors being the son of a geographer and a biologist and hence I have inherited a strong sense of wanderlust. During my youth I got into contact with video-editing and digital design and soon got also interested in photography, a hobby my father and grandfather also indulged in on their journeys across the globe.
During my studies in the field of East Asia Studies I started pursuing this form of art passionately starting with my second visit to Japan; at the time still with my father’s DSLR. Shortly after my return I bought my own camera and headed out on a prolonged trip to America. Since then I’ve been traveling mostly throughout Europe to further explore the grand landscapes of my home continent. For years to come I have now been venturing to to places like Norway, Portugal, through the Alps and the United Kingdom, always hunting the perfect light conditions and iconic places. In my pictures I always focus on conveying an slightly romanticized impression of the mood in front of the lens, thereby carving out the heart of the experience, forming it into colors and shapes.
I’m an autodidact for the most part, although I have had training in photography during my university career (Media Studies and Cultural Studies), ranging from image theory to the means of print production from the digital image to the finished exhibition. Resulting I’ve had several exhibitions and was published in different media.
