born in munich

may 1998
initial contact with the matter of pinhole photography
- more or less "accidentally" - during a conversation on my 30th birthday.

1999 - 2001
first steps using a very simple pinhole camera construction set and two less
simple pinhole cameras I designed myself. one of them already had the special
perspective I still use. in the beginning contact exposure and development on a
fridge in some corner in the cellar of my parents-in-law, later on in a separate
room which was equipped more usable. from 2001 on "real" darkroom. in the end
of 2001 joining the "forum visuelle tonArt" of the artist andreas weidner.

2002 - 2006
after joining the Forum switch from b&w paper to b&w sheet film. conceptual design
and construction of a more practicable pinhole camera. from that time on aiming for my
photographic goals more consequently and productively in the area of landscape,
architecture and stills. ten day photo-related journey to brittany, several shorter trips
to various places, studio activities. first exhibitions.

2007 - 2008
first shootings in the field of nude photography. switch from darkroom/b&w
to hybrid/color. presentation of the pictures in a much larger size,
on stretched canvas or curved, with special racks.

since 2009
further tracing of the way taken in 2008. several photo trips,
amongst others to lanzarote and new york.
