I am a Germany-based photojournalist covering current affairs with a focus on international stories, environmental issues, and the connection between people, climate and nature.
Driven by curiosity about stories that shape people societies and their environment, my work embodies authentic visual reports, documenting moments of change in human life and being present at remote, or critical places to tell stories, for them who can’t be there. With a background as a former Head Chef, i bring precision, persistence, and an instinct for decisive moments into my photographic approach.
Through my projects and assignments, I aim to create visual narratives that connect audiences across borders and provide deeper perspectives on the relationship between people and their environment.
"Colorblind but never visionless" reflects my approach to storytelling: looking beyond limitations, appearances, and boundaries to focus on stories that reveal what connects people combined with the actual issue for seeing colors differently.
