I was born and raised in 1965 in Zweibrücken. Since the early 90s I have been working in the Rhein Main Region and now live in Mainz. Since my early youth I have been taking photos with analog cameras. Even though I collected some experience with analog image editing in my own darkroom. After a work related break as an artist, since the turn of the century I am shooting with digital cameras. Going digital the black and white lab has been replaced by Lightroom and – in some exceptions only – Photoshop. I am now working as a professional photographer specialized in street photography and documentary photography as well as events and architecture photography street.
