A decade of capturing the world in monochrome. Rooted in the Bauhaus tradition of form following function.
I picked up my first camera in 2012 on the streets of Berlin. What started as a way to document the city's transformation quickly became an obsession with light, geometry, and the decisive moment.
After studying visual communication at UdK Berlin, I spent three years assisting established photographers across Europe before launching my own practice in 2016.
I believe in photography stripped to its essential elements: light, form, and presence. Black and white isn't a limitation. It's a discipline that forces you to see structure, texture, and emotion without the distraction of color.
Every shoot begins with understanding the subject. I spend as much time listening as I do behind the lens. The best photographs happen when the camera disappears and only the moment remains.
My process is rooted in collaboration and intentionality. Before any shoot, I invest time in understanding the story we're telling. What does this person, space, or object need to communicate?
On set, I work with natural light whenever possible. I prefer to react to what exists rather than manufacture a scene. This creates images that feel authentic, grounded, and alive with the energy of the moment.
