Talking to my models…
Every year one of the most beautiful photo shoots for cover and cover story.
Somewhere in Brandenburg on horse farms for the magazine ‘Pferdeland 2023’.
Since the beginning of 2022 I am now working on my personal project ‘SO MANY WAYS’.
Soon it will be released…
Here is a little teaser about my work on Tenerife.
What makes someone give up their “normal life” in society?
For my documentary series “SO MANY WAYS” I met people on Tenerife, Spain and in the south of Portugal whose centre of life is their van. The series sheds light on each person’s alternative concept of life. What is the motivation and what events led to this decision?

I photographed the installation of a photovoltaic system for BürgerEnergie Berlin for one day.
The BEB is a free, cross-party association of citizens who are committed to a sustainable and democratic energy policy for the future in Berlin.
Shooting with increased difficulty, when two of the models would rather cuddle with the photographer…

After Corona threw a spanner in the works in 2020, our project IN YOUR FACE is finally on the road as an exhibition!
The journey began with an exhibition at the Regattahaus Kiel, then it was on display at the RAW grounds in Berlin as part of Berlin Photo Week 2021, and continued at the Alte Münze Berlin. In 2022, exhibitions will follow on Sylt and in Lisbon at the UN Ocean Conference.
For the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, I had the privilege of documenting the 2021 event celebrating 50 years of Willy Brandt’s Nobel Peace Prize, with high-ranking guests such as Martin Schulz, Jean Asselborn and Jens Stoltenberg.
