Nature nominee

At the end of December there were a few days here in Germany with strange weather conditions. The air was almost materially thick, unlike normal fog. The light didn't really come through but ensured that everything was bathed in a silvery glow. It was beautiful, mystical and full of silence. I also wrote a lyrical text for this series:

Winter Skin

To love the ice, the early darkness,
Looking up at the snow-heavy trees in a tent made of forest
The light is milk
As a child, I loved to hide in my sheets and see through the pale fabric.
Today, the treetops weave their woodland cloth above me,
a veil through which I glimpse birds
with tear-chilled eyes, the world becomes liquid at the edges.
My breath paints the air.
In winter’s woods, time halts,
a pause outside the dominion of hours.
The earth is winter skin,
and my heart—a fire without smoke.

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.
