Boxes

Threatened with extinction: the telephone box. It remains unclear whether downgrades to column form or upgrades to wi-fi and screens will halt or accelerate their demise.

Many of the booths are not in good condition   defective or repurposed, they have lost their primary function, but continue to serve as rain shelters, advertising space, smoking rooms or lavatories for people and animals.

Project Start: 2015

Locations: Arcachon, Calvi, Cologne, London, München, Newcatle upon Tyne, Vienna, Whitley Bay

    My Portfolios

    Industrial & Science Portfolio

    Shooting on location in labs, factories, and research facilities, I bring more than a decade of experience working as an industrial, science, and corporate photographer – and a genuine curiosity about the processes and the people who run them.

    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.
