Short Version

The Long(er) Version

Like almost every photographer, my interest in photography started back in school. 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.

What sets me apart: my sense of humor and my ability to perform under pressure. A keen eye for detail, technical confidence, and solid training allow me to deliver great images even in challenging situations.

 
 

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

  • Twoimages were shortlisted in a photo competition by MUSA/Wien Museum as part of the "Nebenschauplatze" exhibition

  • Photography contributor to the book “Das andere Sehen” von Robert & Heidi Mertens, 2020-2022 (over 80 published photos)

  • Toskana Diversa 2019, group exhibition, 2019

  • faith-hope-love, 2015-2016 - a project to bring faith, hope, and love back into the lives of refugees. A collaboration with my sister, started 2015

  • Die Qual der Wahl, 2015 - Exhibition as part of the Prague School of Photography at Ursulinenhof, Linz, 2015

  • Wendepunkte, 2014 - group exhibition with Wolf Hoffmann and Ingrid Heinz, Art & More Gallery, Vienna, 2014

My Photographic Style

You can find many examples of my work on my gallery website - it features public series and client projects, giving you a good sense of my photographic style and what to expect when you hire me.

To keep evolving my photographic style, I immerse myself in as much photography and art as I can ;)
