and my passion became my profession. exciting years and countless assignments as a freelancer followed.
aside from this, i also started with creative photography. an important period of my life, around the millennium ́s turn, was my experimental work with the medium black-and-white Polaroid. i created phantastic „light beings“, which in the end became the primary material for the exhibition „see me – feel me“.
