I’m a computer scientist by profession – analytical in thought, creative in vision. Photography has been my passion for many years, steadily becoming a vital part of my life.

My journey into photography began at the age of 18 – with my father’s camera in hand and a deep curiosity in my eyes. What started as simple experimentation quickly grew into a true passion.

I began with landscape photography and the fascination for spectacular sceneries as well as for lonely, deserted areas has always remained with me. Over time, my curiosity led me to explore various genres: wildlife, macro, architecture, and the timeless aesthetic of black and white. Each one brought its own challenges and a distinct visual language that fascinates me.

A new perspective - quite literally - came a few years ago when my brother gave me a drone. Since then, completely new dimensions and possibilities have opened up. The bird’s-eye perspective has changed the way I see the world. I’m constantly in search of striking views, graphic patterns, and unfamiliar angles that can only be discovered from above.

What remains constant is my fascination with light, structure, and the art of capturing meaningful moments – whether on the ground or in the sky.
