I was born in 1991 in the Hochsauerland, GER and grew up in a small village surrounded by trees. Country life, traditions and working-class community characterise my work to this day. These influences are reflected in my photographic exploration of themes such as tradition, identity and history. Motivated by my own search for belonging, I am constantly grappling with these fundamental questions.
I’m a founding member of DOCKS Collective and hold a Master degree in photography from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Dortmund, GER.
Based in Dortmund/GER and available for assignments.
