About me

Selfportrait of me

At the age of sixteen, I had a photography class in school. Since then, I’ve been fascinated by photography. In 2001, I finished my studies in photo engineering and started working as a product manager for digital medium-format backs. As a product manager, I’m always involved in the technical part of photography but miss a bit the creative aspect of it. This website should concentrate more on the creative aspect of photography. Images and reports on this website are my own. I share my opinion, which is not connected to my job.

I have had some opportunities to exhibit my images in my photography career.

2013 Schickler consultants in Hamburg
2015 Umweltfestival Zingst
