Info

I studied Photography in Munich, where I am now based, working as a freelance photographer, producer, and curator. My interest in people, my fascination for their behavior and interaction is what drives me to take pictures. For my personal work, I like to focus on certain regions, creating site-specific stories. I am rather curious, and very much intrigued by light and oddities.
