I was born in Vienna in 1971 and have been living and working in Upper Austria not far from Linz in St. Florian for about ten years. I came into contact with photography around 25 years ago . For the first 16 years I was caught up in color photography and found my subjects mainly in nature. For the past 9 years now, I have personally focused exclusively on black and white photography. This reduced and often abstract view of the world has opened up numerous other photographic worlds to me in addition to finding motifs in nature.
