I was born in 1978 in Kempten (Germany) and have been taking photographs since I was a teenager. For some years now I have been concentrating on black and white photography and aim for a simple and minimalist style. I find my motifs both in nature and in large cities. In order to cope with the sheer abundance of possible images, I have recently been trying to think in terms of projects and series of works. For some time now, I have also been successful in competitions and have taken part in exhibitions. All in all, photography and its surroundings offer me a welcome distraction from my technically-oriented professional life.
