Born in 1987, I grew up in the west of Germany between extinct volcanos, forests and fields. With my first teacher in photography, I travelled across the country and got access into many different corners of our society. I left shyness behind and learned to interact with carpenters, scientists and chairmen by doing all kinds of photography work.
In 2012, I began to work with analogue cameras as well as the process of developing and printing photos in the darkroom. My relationship to photography became more intimate through this reflected way of working with different kinds of old cameras. I began to understand photography as something I could express myself with and take others on a journey to people and their souls.
The studies at ‚Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie’ in Berlin taught me to search for the truth in things, to dig deeper until I would find the core of what I really care about, in life and when taking a photograph. I graduated from Ostkreuzschule in the class of Ute Mahler and Linn Schröder in 2022 with my work: Without A Mother One Cannot Die.
Being on the road, feeding myself with new impressions of the lands and the people has always been a constant need for me. The freedom of going to wherever intuition brings me, living only with the most necessary things, out in the nature or a different culture is the most giving source of creativity and life energy for me. Today I commute between Europe and the rest of the world photographing and life loving.
