Nature nominee

Just before sunset in the forest. It's December and freezing cold, but the sun has been warming the ground all day and chasing away the frost.

On one of my daily walks, I catch the light and capture these tender moments full of melancholy and poetry. The grass, the trunks and branches, the moss and the ferns look almost golden. Against the light, the shadows shimmer with a delicate reddish colour. It is a precious moment, a precious walk. My photographs are intended to show people that there is beauty, that you can open yourself up to what is out there. That magical, profound moments are also possible in the forest around the corner, that our nature always provides them, even if we are just out for a walk.

I studied communication design and graduated in photography in 2010. Due to a serious chronic illness, I started going for daily walks, preferably in the forest. I discovered how good it was for me, all the light, the weather, the freedom in the forest, the peace and quiet, the darkness towards evening. I also began to observe the sky. For example, I saw the halo effect for the first time in my life.
At some point, I began to capture the moods of nature, the poetic, the melancholic, the brief moments. People who look at my pictures always tell me that they have a healing, magnetic effect on them and that it does them good to look at them.
I've also always written. I've also had a column in a major German magazine. Every picture that is sold is accompanied by a lyrical text. My art is therefore a combination of reading and seeing. In my pictures, I experiment a lot with liquids and grease on the lens.

I am in the advertising industry and have my own agency.

Since 2023 I now also sell my work on artfairs and on request.
