I live and work as a photographer in Leipzig (Germany). I am specialized in photojournalism, street and portraits. In the early 90`s, during my first travels, I started taking pictures of daily life scenes. While studying - cultural- and media pedagogic - I become more and more focussed in photography. After the final exam „Aesthetic criteria of contemporary photography“ I decided to work as a freelancer (2004).
