Portraits from Art + Culture

My photographic portraits of artists from the fileds of literature, fine art, music, design, architecture and beyond. In times, where considerations in governing the public sphere – namely research, education, health care, communication, mobility, and politics, are more and more exclusively economic, art and culture persist in pointing our attention in a different direction. I am interested both in the people doing the pointing and the direction, they are pointing in.

My collaborations are with (in alphabetical order) Christian Bazant-Hegemark (painter), Martin Herchenröder (composer & organist), Rosina Huth (designer), Marcel Kawentel (author/drummer), Mirko Krause (architect), Karin Peschka (author), Jördis Tielsch (singer-songwriter), Marianne Vlaschits (artist), Beate Weiß (ceramics), Christof Windgätter (professor for design thoery).

    My Portfolios

    Industrial & Academic Portfolio

    With more than a decade of experience, I  strengthen the visual identity of my clients through industrial, academic, and corporate photography. 

    I also headed communications departments in both the corporate and the academic world and this background enables me to get you the visuals you need – every time!

    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 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.
