A self-portrait after a Safari-Drive in Namibia - 2024
The quote of Edvard Munch captures what I seek in photography: to reveal not just what is seen, but what is felt — the quiet emotion and deeper essence behind each moment.
My aim is to present a space where travel, wildlife, and landscape photography come together with a deep respect for nature. Through my images, I hope to share awareness of both the beauty and fragility of our planet and to inspire a sense of connection with the living world around us.
I was born in 1962 in Germany and have been fascinated by animals and the natural world since childhood. I grew up watching Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Bernhard Grzimek, reading Konrad Lorenz and Jane Goodall wondering how humans fit into the larger web of life. This curiosity led me to study social sciences and ethnology, exploring how culture and nature intertwine.
For more than 40 years, photography has been my way to explore, reflect, and tell stories — not as a professional, but as someone who finds meaning in presence, patience, and perception.
I have lived for over five decades in Luxembourg, a small yet diverse country that still preserves remarkable landscapes and habitats. Living here has strengthened my belief that beauty and discovery don’t depend on distance — they can be found everywhere, if we take the time to look closely.
I’m drawn to simple, authentic moments: a subtle change of light, a fleeting expression, the balance between strength and vulnerability in animals or people. My images remain true to those moments — free from heavy editing, guided instead by the emotion and truth of what I witnessed.
Whether near or far, each photograph is an invitation to see beyond the visible — to connect with the soul of nature and the quiet stories it tells.
