I am a partner, a father (of two toddler twins) and a dog person.

I was born in Hamburg, Germany, as the only son amongst four children, with both of my parents being architects. I got exposed to architecture and art from day one and the light grey Polaroid camera and a Minox 35 GL were always laying around somewhere in our house.

It was actually a friend of my sister who really got me into photography and design when I was about 17 years old. He was a graphic designer and photographer, and I was completely hooked. I moved to Berlin to study graphic design. But I got cold feet and ended up studying economics and communication sciences because I thought that was the safer choice and would broaden my job options. I don’t regret my decision, because it forced me to keep both parts of my brain active: the visual/creative side and the strategic one.

Therefore, my path into professional photography didn’t start in a photo studio—it began as a brand strategist, a business creative, a founder, and a storyteller for corporations and institutions. For years, I worked with business owners and brand leaders, helping them shape concepts, stories, and customer experiences. That background influences my creative process in a way that:

• I understand the pressures and goals of business owners and entrepreneurs because I’ve been in their shoes.

• I know how powerful visuals can elevate a brand because I’ve helped develop strategies around them.

• I capture images with the eye of a storyteller, not just a photographer.

It's simple: just give me a call or send me an email. I am naturally curious and always enjoy exchanging ideas. Looking forward to it!
