I’m a photographer based in Weimar. In 2014, I received a diploma in visual communication at the Bauhaus-Universität, Weimar.
My interests lie in portrait, reportage and documentary photography. I also work in street photography and feel inspired by the likes of Joel Meyrowitz, Joel Sternfeld, Gary Winogrand, Stephen Shore and many more. Generally, my fascination with the urban sphere is an influence on my work. I also have a somewhat formal interest in working at night, when exposure times are long and artificial light creates a certain atmosphere.
Even though I live in Weimar, I am available for editorial, commercial, artistic and collaborative work everywhere.
