And in addition I learn making decisions, which is not easy sometimes. With photography I am forced to do so, by choosing the perfect moment to press the trigger. Besides I love observing. With photography I got a legal and professional way for my observing obession.
In photography there are so many parallels to life. It is just a way of seeing and going through life.
I am very much into portrait, reportage and street photography.
Beside that I want to work more into story telling of personal feelings and conceptual photography and society movements.
I am sucker for beauty, special light and this tiny unforgetable moments.
I started photography at the age of around 10, when I got an old analoge camera from my Dad.
Since then it was like discovering a new approach to figure out more about myself and the world.
Photography helps me to frame the world, when it starts to get too huge. It is a method to put it into small pieces, e.g. into a fivehundredth of a second and to save it as this one special moment.
Sometimes if the world feels too much, too big for me – and I get easily distraced – I need photography to focus again. Then there is nothing else for me than this view through the camera.
