About

I am a visual artist working in the fields of photography, videography, graphic design, and product design. My works are connected through the common theme of time passing and permanent change of our surroundings in modern times.

My photography focuses on areas up for redevelopment, nature interacting with urban environments, and the people in those environments. Growing up between the countryside and the city, I return to this duality in my photographs.

Photography helps me capture fleeting moments in time, holding onto something that will disappear in the future.

I photograph portraits and events in Bremen and nearby cities. I also take on documentary assignments for newspapers and other publications.
