I shoot analog and digital.

A friend and I started to develop our black and white films at home.

My color and cine films I develop at Ojisan film lab in Indonesia.

In 1997 my father convinced my mother to cross the Atlantic and visit a friend near Montreal, Canada. My father had visited him before. He had fallen in love with the beauty of the country's nature and the friendliness of its people and wanted to share them with us. After visiting his friend, we went on a one-month road trip along Canada's East coast. We had a rented car and rough coordinates of the places we wanted to see but no predefined route. It was an amazing journey. We passed Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. We returned to Canada four years later to see Ontario and the US New England states Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

Since my first non-family vacation with a friend in 2004 - we interrailed through France and Italy for three weeks - I became eventually addicted to traveling. I first really got into photography in the summer of 2004.

During my travels, I like to get in touch with locals - random people in the streets - and listen to their views and learn more about their culture. In 2006, I spent two semesters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. During the stay I had the chance to explore other places in Malaysia, also together with my father who visited me for a few weeks. I also visited its neighbors Singapore and Thailand (mostly for visa runs). In the semester break, right after the 2006 football world cup in Germany, I traveled to China. I started in Guangzhou and took trains and buses to Chengdu, Xian, Beijing, Shanghai and Guilin before leaving for Hong Kong and Macau. In 2008, I took a semester off to travel to Indonesia. Since then, I come back to this beautiful and diverse country almost every year. It has become a home away from home. In the summer of 2016, I quit my job to travel through the Balkans together with a friend from Poland. It was my first trip relying almost entirely on hitchhiking. A year later, I was chosen best man for my friends' wedding. Although they are both German, they decided that the wedding would take place in Oban, Scotland. I met my sister in Perth, Scotland. We hitchhiked to Oban in a day. After the wedding we continued hitchhiking - combining it with wild camping - for another two weeks. In July 2019, I married my girlfriend that I had met in Yogyakarta, Indonesia two years before. Our wedding took place in Bali, Indonesia. Many of my friends flew over to celebrate with us. During the COVID-break, my friend that married in Scotland and I discovered roof-tent-road-trips. Last year, we went to Tuscany, Italy and visited only the hidden gems, avoiding the cities. This year, we traveled to the Côte d'Azur from Montpellier to Genoa.

This year I will exhibit at the Museumsnacht in Singen at Yoga Arc on 19 September and at the Kulturnacht in Radolfzell on 02 October.
