Family Photographer // LOS ANGELES
I am a storyteller by heart. In my 'former' life back in Germany I used to direct TV shows and documentaries. Moving to the US forced me to re-invent myself and since photography always played a big role in my and my family's life, the change of career was more a flowing and natural process. I have a zeal for Lifestyle and Portrait Photography, but I would add documentary elements in my photos whenever I can. My photo shoots are rarely static for that reason. Authenticity plays a big role in my photography.
I am a passionate observer and a patient director. I love to work with kids of all ages, and my pet issue is street photography.
