Dark Moment
1st picture - The pensioner has a handicapped son whom he does not see and deeply regrets it.
2nd picture - He lost his father when he was a boy and shortly afterwards his mother. Today he has children himself and is afraid that something could happen to him and leave his children behind.
3rd picture - She has lost her first child in the eighth month. A stillbirth is the worst thing a mother can go through.
4th picture - She is a teenager and her first heartbreak was the worst for her so far
5th picture - And finally the child. She answered my question by saying that her new bike broke down.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE JOURNEY OF A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ME, THE
CAMERA AND THE OBJECT IN FRONT OF IT.
Before the journey, I decide the amount of manipulation in the shot, which can range from a
matter of desire to an authentic reflection.
Beauty, humor and stories are the central themes of my images. Where can these elements
be found better than in portrait photography? This is precisely why I became a passionate
people, beauty and most of all portrait photographer. I love capturing the insights and
discoveries I make of a person during a photo shooting. These are my special and unique
moments as photographer.
It is fascinating to visually realize my experiences and desires. This grabs me again and again
and keeps my creativity engine running. My head is full, loud with thoughts and images.
I have to reflect them like a projector.

entry description
I asked 5 different age groups (retired, middle-aged, teenager and child) if we could talk about their darkest moment. At the same time I took the portraits. I was fascinated how differently the problems are weighted.1st picture - The pensioner has a handicapped son whom he does not see and deeply regrets it.
