Unique Story Concepts 

To me, creating photography means seeing a story around the fashion I capture. I’m always looking for more than an interesting face, light or background. I am looking for stories to tell through my photography. I love the process of concept-making as much as realizing and releasing the work. In my eyes, photography needs proper preparation to be outstanding and more than superficially beautiful – I call this a modern approach to our information age and the flood of images that we see every day. Let’s get in touch and start this together!

I was born in the Black Forest, Germany and grew up with the Zenit SLR of my father being part of the family’s life. I early started looking for different points of views and found the interesting in everything. In addition to my photography, I loved sketching, crafting and stitching – which proved my creative thinking and love for fashion very early.

Through travels in India after school graduation, photographic internships and finally studying Communication Design, I developed a deeper understanding for camera, light, and motive, as well as design thinking and the principles of creation.

I found myself flourishing when I started working in fashion. For me, it unites photography, art direction, human interplay, and good taste. Therefore, I’ve made the decision to work out the most sophisticated concepts and realize them as a fashion photographer – for my clients, for top magazine and for the world to see.
