title
Body of Earth
All pictures were taken from a light aircraft at over 1km altitude.
Photographing natural phenomena from small aircraft, the stories of how these places once were created are told by selected images with countless small details, best viewed as prints and in exhibitions. Whether it will be wandering cows in a desert, human footprints on vacant salt flats or off-road vehicle tire tracks on dunes. There is plenty to explore in every single image.
The center of his work is the Ever Changing Earth with the transformation of landscapes in focus.

entry description
The Sonoran Desert covers northern parts of Mexico as well as southern parts of the United States. Despite it being the hottest desert of both countries it provides two seasons of rainfall what distinguishes it from other deserts. The dunes of the desert are constantly changing their form and casting dominant shadows in the early morning light which can look like abstract patterns or body shaped forms.All pictures were taken from a light aircraft at over 1km altitude.
