I am a photographer who works at the intersection between architecture and people. Predominantly in a documentary manner I work for architects, designers, companies, public institutions and magazines both nationally and internationally. Being interested in not just documenting but also in understanding the world, I also develop free projects that allow me to engage with different phenomena of contemporary Western societies. With my work I participate regularly in international exhibitions, receive stipends and awards.
In order to pass on my experience, I regularly teach at various art schools and universities, for instance in the course of a visiting professorship at Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin between 2017 and 2019. I live and work in Berlin.
