Biography:
"It’s simply inexpressible to insert a single moment of this whole world in frames to share it with others. The only determining is the tiny fraction of this single second.”
Johannes Hartig
I was born in Berlin-Zehlendorf 1988 and grew up in south Germany. Since 2007 my interests in photography constantly grew while I attended highschool. In 2008 I started working as a freelance photographer in reportage & event photography in the area of Landshut. While finishing my civil services I decided to intensify my constantly growing interests in photography & design.
From 2009 - 2011 I have been able to attend the Foto-Design-School under Christoph Eberbach in Pforzheim. After successfully finishing my studies, I finished an one-year internship under the photographer Matthias Müller in Ilvesheim. In summer 2012 I started a long & successful cooperation with the renowned BFF photographer Michael Schnabel for an overall of 7 years while I also have been working as freelance assistant with other photographers all around the globe.
Since 2016 I am official member of the BFF photographers association which brought me to a vice chairman of the region Baden-Württemberg from early 2018 to 2022. Currently I am looking for projects with open minded people who also have the passion to create new and interesting work and push advertising to a new level.
Let’s go - create.
