About Me
Ich bin ein erfahrener, preisgekrönter Fotograf mit Sitz im Norden Deutschlands und habe mich auf Porträt- und Editorial-Fotografie spezialisiert. Mit über 20 Jahren Erfahrung als Journalist und Fotojournalist wurden meine Bilder weltweit veröffentlicht – unter anderem von der Associated Press, der New York Times und der Daily Mail, um nur einige zu nennen.
Ich liebe Bilder, die beim Betrachter Gefühle oder Emotionen auslösen. Charakterporträts, Umweltporträts, die etwas über eine Person erzählen. Inspiration finde ich bei Fotografen wie Arnold Newman, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Peter Lindbergh und Gregory Heisler.
Auch wenn Porträts und Fotojournalismus meine Hauptgebiete sind, bin ich abenteuerlustig genug, um mich ebenso an kommerzielle Aufträge und Produktfotografie zu wagen – und das mit Erfolg.
I am an a experienced award-winning photographer based in the north of Germany, who specializes in portrait and editorial photography. With over 10 years of experience in the field as a journalist and photojournalist, my images have been published across the globe, including by the likes of the Associated Press, New York Times, Daily Mail to mention a few.
I am a lover of images that evoke a feeling or emotion in the viewer. Character portraits, environmental portraits that tell you something about a person. I find inspiration from photographers like Arnold Newman, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Peter Linbergh and Gregory Heissler.
While portraits and photojournalism are what I do mostly, I am adventurous enough to undertake a bit of commercial and product photography. And have done so successfully.
