I was born and raised in Germany to an old family of artists.
The last 20 years I have been focused to capture what I see
an communicate it to others. This desire has grown into a
lifelong journey, starting with drawing and playing around
with my Grandfathers old Rolleiflex cameras as I grew up.
After leaving school, I completed training in photo engraving
and worked as a draughtsman for a cloth printing company.
Years later, after my duty in the military, I undertook studies at
the Education Centre for Digital Media in Karlsruhe. The city
pleased me so much that I had remained there to this day.

Today I balance my creativity between design and photography,
with each has its own role in helping me to capture the world
around me. Currently I work for consolidated companies as
a Cross Media Producer, which digital photography has its
important role. In teamwork I collaborate with other designer
to develop full product and environmental image solutions.
I’m very passionate with my own personal work. I produce
photography for myself and for other artists like musicians
or actors, helping them with my ideas to create images for
promotion and albums. I alternate between two mediums,
film and digital. I use mainly black and white film and some
digitals when it is required for the look of the final image.

The extremely sharpness and contrast of Zeiss lenses ,
combined with the credibleness of Twin Reflex cameras,
makes the Rolleiflex my personal favourite.
