My photographic journey began while I was studying architecture, when I bought my first SLR camera and, in addition to architectural photography, devoted myself primarily to landscape photography. From then on, I travelled a lot and captured what I saw on slide film.
I still use photography today to express my creativity. Seeing plays a decisive role for me. The transformation of what I see into a new image, into which moods, feelings and imagination flow, is a very exciting process.
In addition to classic colour and black and white photography, now digital, I have long been fascinated by the possibility of abstraction in photography. Making the invisible visible has a great appeal for me.
My approach to certain projects is now characterised by Impressionist painting. Deliberately blurred photography is an artistic process, a particular form of expression that attempts to bring photography and painting closer together. The camera becomes a brush or painting tool (ICM technique, multiple exposures, speed blur and much more). Blurred, blurred and distorted photos convey a special atmosphere, they evoke feelings and moods just like impressionism.
