I was born 1971 in Berlin (Germany). After 43 years living in Berlin I work and live in Leipzig today. After having passed the High School Graduation Examination (Abitur) in 1991, I studied business engineering in Berlin and completed my Diploma in 1996. From 1997 to 2010 I worked as a business consultant. In 2011 I started to work freelance as a photographer and artist. I'm self-educated in Photography. I had been photographing for more than 20 years. Over the past 15 years I acquired detailed knowledge in the field of analogue photography. My own artistic projects are usually created with analogue techniques.
Some photographs of my series 'monster', 'multiexpo' and 'tierwald' were shown in Germany, France, USA, Spain, UK, India, Italy and Netherland at renowned galleries and festivals. I'm part of a permanent collection of the Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris.
