I'm a self-taught photographer.

I grew up in Bielefeld vis-a-vis the dark edge of Teutoburger Wald and when introduced to photography by my grandpa, landscapes naturally became my first photographic objects, as well as sceneries of the village

I lived in.

A few years later I learned how to process my films and to make my own prints in the darkroom, which gave me complete control about the final results.

Since then taking photos and making prints are my life.

Nowadays I live in Cologne and work as a freelance photographer.
