- About Me
Maybe and only maybe, I am an artist. With a camera instead of pens and brushes. With my own idiocratic imagination I try to express feelings and emotions not only 'in one shot' but rather in a combination of pictures and words. After some days out on the streets or in the nature with my camera memories of pictures begin to emerge in my mind, calling innumerable emotions experienced on different days of my life or perhaps in my dreams. I can feel a smile appearing on my face working on some of those pictured emotions--especially the happy ones.
And all of a sudden I do realize that there is something to tell and to show to other people saying, "This also is Me". Unfortunately this part of mine is only a small part of my life, as most of us I'm spending a big part of my daily life struggling and fighting to make ends meet. But with every picture I'm getting finalized, watching their emotions, retrieving my feelings--I discover a new aspect of my own self. That obviously is how I see this world.
Stations of my life:
- Born and raised in Germany
- Studies in Theology and Philosophy at University of Tübingen
- Spent some years as Jazz Musician in different Bands and Orchestras in southern France
- Worked several years as Press-Photographer around the world
- Settled down and began to work as business consultant in Germany, France, Switzerland and the US
- Living now in Switzerland rediscovering my longing for artistic work
My pictures as Press Photographer have appeared in a pretty large number of newspapers and tabloids in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, USA and other countries.
