"When you kiss me heaven sighs, and though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose" (Louis Armstrong/Édith Piaf). Macro shot of a peony. Peonies capture the sun in their petals. They not only delight us with their beauty, but also encourage us „to see la vie en rose“.
I learned my photographic craft from the photographer Valentin Schwab. During a specialized internship with him in 1986/87, I gained profound insights into the technique and aesthetics of documentary photography. After a specialized internship in film and studio production at Bayerischer Rundfunk in 1988, I worked for several years as a camera assistant, both in analogue and electronic film recording. Over the years, I have increasingly abstracted my visual language. In my current work, I explore the representation of the subliminal, the ineffable and the ephemeral with abstract photographs.
