"​Portraying people is foremost interesting when they show emotions."

The best pictures are not always the prettiest

I've been photographing professionally since 1983 and my focus is on people and architecture. I was educated in photography and darkroom technology and my first experiences were on black and white. I photographed artists, dancers, and stage work generally. In the past, I spent a few years making money shooting at balls, where I got my first taste of what it's like to photograph people showing emotion. I rediscovered black and white a few years ago and during the corona crisis, when new contacts and shootings were impossible, I reworked a lot of material from the past in black and white. Now it has become a kind of a trademark or attitude of my work.
