About
Photographer and artist wet plate collodion Berlin
Photography has accompanied me all my life and is both a source of ideas and my preferred means of expression. I work exclusively with photographic processes from the early days of photography.
Today, such 19th-century processes are often described as “alchemy”. For me, these techniques offer countless possibilities for creative expression.
In my work I focus on landscapes and portraits, always with people at the center, because they inspire me.
I live and work in Berlin.
