I’m a photographer from Austria specializing in documentary and people-focused work. I began photographing while traveling and gradually turned it into my profession. Over the years, I’ve traveled to more than 80 countries, documenting people and places along the way.
My work ranges from reportage and portraiture to sports and commercial assignments. My projects have taken me from traditional communities in Ethiopia, India, Myanmar, and West New Guinea to conflict-affected regions in the Middle East, as well as a 17-day Arctic expedition to Svalbard.
I’m interested in observing and translating situations into images that feel clear and honest, focusing on light, composition, and atmosphere without overcomplicating the moment.
If you’re interested in working together or have questions about my work, feel free to get in touch.
