about me

Photo: Stefanie Heitmueller
Photography makes me happy! Whether I capture the sweet laughter of a baby, balance with my cameras on a wind power plant 300 feet above or build complex flash setups – there’s no other job I would like to do more.

As a photographer I get to know interesting people I probably never would have met and discover places I never would’ve been driven to – for me it’s the best job in the world!

I am sometimes addicted to coffee, Motown and 60′s fan, always helpful, dynamic and ready for some madness. And I’m used to laugh a lot, even about my own misadventures.

With a camera in my hands I’m more brave, more passionate, more adventurous, more perfectionistic and more visionary. And still enjoy honestly naive when the photo again worked out exactly like it have been in my head before.

For me there’s a beauty in every person. But it often starts to hide in confrontation with a camera. So I take care of the expectations, desires and fears of those in front of my lens and lead them to a special photo.
