In my photographic projects I explore single, narrowly focussed themes. In At Work I investigate the conditions and contexts of work, Christian Bazant- Hegemark is the documentation of a friendship, From Art and Culture gives a stage to portraits of creatives from all fields, and Wien Südbahnhof (Vienna Sourth Station) documents the time between the last days of the station and the first of the new neighbourhood.
I am interested in people who find meaning in their work, their circumstances, and environments and their reasons for doing what they do.
I portrait artists from the fileds of literature, fine art, music, design, architecture, and beyond because in times where economic considerations are more and more exclusive in governing the public sphere, they point our attention in a different direction.
Documenting my friendship with Viennese painter Christian Bazant-Hegemark since 2008.
His artistic work focuses on on the human condition, specifically on people in trauma recovery.
In 2008 and 2009 I documented the phase of transition from the final days of operation at Wien Südbahnhof, the Viennese South Station, until the early construction work for the new main station and neighbourhood.

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.
In the words of Arnold Newman, Portrait photography is 10% inspiration and 90% moving furniture.
It never seizes to amaze me how, by moving some furniture around and thus creating a carefully designed context for the subject, photography can condense the many facets of a personality into a still image.
