Hyperborea

Grew up, moved away, came back. In 2012, the questionable aesthetic decisions in this northern German city prompted me to go on a photo walk. I document some of the moments of astonishment here (in no less questionable image quality).

My Portfolios

Industrial & Science Portfolio

I shoot on location in labs, factories, and research facilities, working with genuine curiosity for the processes and the people running them.

With more than a decade of experience in industrial, science, and corporate photography, I bring a genuine understanding of the world I shoot in – earned through completing a PhD and years heading communications across research, business, and startup environments.

Product Portfolio

What I enjoy about product photography is that through spending time with an object that otherwise gets overlooked as a mere utility, beauty can be found in unexpected places.

Making the extraordinary within the ordinary visible for others always is a very exciting process.

Portrait Portfolio

In the words of Arnold Newman, Portrait photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture.

It never ceases to amaze me how, by creating a carefully designed context for the subject (or: by moving some furniture around), photography can condense the many facets of a personality into a single image.
