PHOTOGRAPHS FOR TECHNIC LOVERS. I love photography. And I love technology. I have been booked as a photographer for technical projects in Germany and Europe for years. I photograph topics such as mechanical engineering, automation, steel, chemicals and aerospace for my clients. As diverse as these topics are, they have one thing in common - they give the viewer and me a little insight into the fascinating world of technology.

In my photography, I always try to photograph these subjects as exciting and thrilling as they are in reality. As my photography is always commissioned, the client's interests naturally come first. But I always try to take a picture for myself, a picture that reflects my personal interpretation of the industrial and technical aesthetics at the beginning of the 3rd millennium.

At the age of 19, I began a classic apprenticeship as a photographer. At the age of 22 I traveled a lot, my dream - landscape photographer for a major newspaper. That wasn't so easy after all and at the age of 25 I opened my own studio. In the first few years, I photographed everything that came in front of my camera. Light switches, industrial batteries, sweets, bicycles, letterboxes. I even photographed some fashion and cars. Later I specialized in industrial subjects. And for the last 20 years, I've hardly photographed anything else.
