BIO

Born in Germany in 1954, the inspiration for my photographs comes through observations of life and light. Although I experiment with photographic themes, my focus is the translation of the nude everyday women into timeless pieces of art. I work with 35mm film because of its textural quality and endless possibilities for exploration.

EDUCATION

Hermann-Boese Gymnasium for boys, 1975-78 Christian-Albrecht University, Kiel, Germany, 1979-81 First assistant to photographer, Charlotte March,in Hamburg

Artist statement

I wonder the streets of Paris searching for angles that show the same but in a new light. People, places and art on the wall have my fascination and attention. I try to capture something genuine to show my favorite city. My pictures express my love for Paris.
