After graduating from high school (1983) and studying audiovisual media (1990-95) in Stuttgart (Hochschule der Medien, diploma), I worked as a freelance photographer and film producer in Germany and abroad, produced numerous books and have been a freelance lecturer for film and photography at the Hochschule der Medien in Stuttgart for several years.

‘What type of person am I?’ Very passionate, quick and enthusiastic about a lot of things, nothing can put me off my stride. I cook a lot and love good wine, I do a lot of sport, listen to and collect music incessantly, read a lot, love travelling and enjoy my free time with my family and friends.
Credo: ‘Life is short. Make something of it.’

about the photographer
I was born in Sonneberg, in the Franconian part of Thuringia, in 1965. I've been interested in photography since I was very young, thanks in part to my father, who was an ambitious amateur photographer. I was given my first camera at the age of 10, and from then on it became my constant companion.After graduating from high school (1983) and studying audiovisual media (1990-95) in Stuttgart (Hochschule der Medien, diploma), I worked as a freelance photographer and film producer in Germany and abroad, produced numerous books and have been a freelance lecturer for film and photography at the Hochschule der Medien in Stuttgart for several years.
As a studio for photography and film production, we work for well-known national and international clients from the B2B and B2C sectors: productions for image, product, advertising, travel, portrait and lifestyle photography. Our creative centre is located in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart.
