A decommissioned Thyssen ironworks in Duisburg. From 1901 to 1985 the works produced pig iron - as a rule as a primary product for further processing in Thyssen's steel works. Today the old ironworks with its bunkers, inclined lifts and casthouses are an “living” industrial monument. I see it as a kind of art to give buildings an emotion. A powerful mean of expression and exploration – in which I'm looking for unusual perspectives, details, light, and symmetries, sometimes by turning the world upside-down in my compositions. Multiple exposure - this is no photoshop work!
I have been working independently for many years as an art-director in germany and the implementation of creative ideas has always been the centerpiece of my work. I have always loved photography as art, but first i started with drawing. Since 2012 I discovered photography as a second mean to express myself, always on the search for the secret of light and shadows. Often my photographs are not exactly a foto, my creations are somewhere in between paintings and photography. I use my camera to transpose the emotions which develop in my mind, the excitements caused by encountered reality.
