I was born in 1974 in Ebingen (Germany) and grew up in Sigmaringen, where I finished school in 1994. Afterwards I went to the university in Stuttgart where I studied architecture. I had jobs in different firms and meanwhile I live in the small town Immenstaad at the Lake Constance.I started with photography at the age of about 12 years with a very cheap analog compact camera followed by a better analog model from Braun.
