About.
I photograph the spaces, places and moments that make me stop.
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to explore my work.
I have been photographing for more than 30 years. I am entirely self-taught, and photography has always been driven less by formal rules than by curiosity — by the desire to understand why certain places, moments and compositions make me stop.
I still get up at 3 a.m. to chase a photograph.
Sometimes that means standing alone in the cold. Sometimes sitting on the pavement. Sometimes waiting for twenty minutes because the light is almost right, but not quite.
I am looking for that brief moment when light transforms an ordinary scene into something that feels different — quieter, more graphic, more cinematic. That moment is what keeps me going.
My photographic work is rooted in the relationship between space, light and time. I am drawn to architecture, urban environments and landscapes, but I am less interested in documenting places than in finding the visual structures and fleeting moments hidden within them.
Based near Frankfurt, the Rhein-Main region is at the heart of my ongoing work. Rhein-Main Confluence explores the architecture, infrastructure, landscapes and contrasts of the region I know best. Travel takes me elsewhere — to unfamiliar cities and environments where the challenge is to slow down and find my own way of seeing.
My background is in marketing, and I hold a doctorate in the field. Perhaps that is one reason I have always been interested in how images communicate — not simply what they show, but what makes us stop and look.
Photography is also a process of trial and error. There have been failed experiments, missed opportunities and images that never became what I imagined. That is part of it. The photograph is only the visible result; the searching, waiting and sometimes getting it wrong are equally important.
My work has received international recognition, including Platinum awards from the Muse Awards and London Photography Awards.
But awards are not really why I photograph.
I photograph because every now and then, I find a moment that makes me stop.
And that is enough.
