The longer version
After a photography elective, I spent a few years pursuing other goals. From January 2012 to June 2014 I attended the Prague School of Photography along with plenty of other courses and workshops - and since January 2013 I've been working professionally as a photographer ;)
Telling a story through images is what I consider the core purpose of any photo reportage. Whether it's a concert, an eventful day at a company summer party, or a press conference - everything has a story, and I want to capture it.
Most of my work happens on location, because real moments don't happen in a studio. My goal is to make people feel like they were there when they look at the photos.
In a world flooded with snapshots, I want to tell your story visually and deliver photos that capture emotions - keeping them alive in memory for a long time.
A keen eye for detail, technical confidence and solid training let me deliver great images even in challenging situations.
What it's like to work with me
My clients describe it best. Three things come up again and again in their Google reviews:
You feel at ease
Most people don't enjoy being in front of a camera. I take the time it needs for them to relax – with a smile, a short chat and no rush.
“I felt so comfortable in front of his camera, and all the photos are spectacular!!”
Alice, Willem C. Vis Moot You barely notice me
At events I move quietly through the room. After a few minutes people forget the camera – and that is when the images with real glances and emotions happen.
“As a photographer, he is virtually invisible, allowing him to capture very personal and emotional moments without disturbing the flow of the event or the participants.”
Jutta Fischel, curator (translated from German) Uncomplicated and fast
A short briefing is enough, I take care of the rest. On request you get a first selection while the event is still running, the finished gallery within three working days.
“Everything was straightforward and professional from start to finish, and I'm already looking forward to working with him again.”
Birgit Steinkellner (translated from German)
Institutions & publications
Photographs by me are commissioned and used by leading Vienna photography institutions:
- Foto Arsenal Wien - official photographer; images featured in the Grand Opening 2025 press section and at FOTO WIEN.
- WestLicht – Museum for Photography - official photographer.
Exhibitions and projects
Beyond client work, I also pursue personal projects on topics that matter to me - some call it fine art photography:
- One image was shortlisted in a photo competition by the Wien Museum as part of the “Winter in Vienna” exhibition.
- Two images were shortlisted in a photo competition by MUSA/Wien Museum as part of the “Nebenschauplätze” exhibition.
- “Seventeen Sisters - A Love Letter to Analog Photography”, 2023, group exhibition at FINE ART Galerie.
- Photography contributor to the book “Das andere Sehen” by Robert & Heidi Mertens, 2020–2022 (over 80 published photos).
- Toskana Diversa 2019 - group exhibition.
- faith-hope-love, 2015–2016 - a project to bring faith, hope and love back into the lives of refugees, in collaboration with my sister Cornelia.
- Die Qual der Wahl, 2015 - exhibition as part of the Prague School of Photography at Ursulinenhof, Linz.
- Wendepunkte, 2014 - group exhibition with Wolf Hoffmann and Ingrid Heinz, Art & More Gallery, Vienna.
My photographic style
You can find many examples of my public work on my gallery website - it features series and client projects and gives you a good sense of my style.
To keep evolving, I like to immerse myself in as much photography and art as I can ;)
Hiring a photographer is a risk. Here's how I remove it.
Your images can't be lost
Two cameras, dual cards - every frame exists in two places before I leave the room.
Fixed price, agreed up front
You know the cost and exactly what you'll receive before we start. No surprise invoice.
A deadline you can plan around
Curated gallery within 3 working days, full commercial rights included.
I've worked in your world
Boardrooms, clinics, law firms, events with 4,000+ participants. No hand-holding required.
