ABOUT
I´m a photographer and artist. Occasionally, I work also with film and sound. I live and work and dance and run in Berlin. Since I started photography, I feel close to a documentary tradition. A lot of the time, my artwork revolves around a »new documentary« approach, which explores the overlapping of documentary/staged. For assignments, I love portrait and reportage work. I'm used to working in the studio as well and have produced campaigns for different brands and fashion.
