Nature nominee

I photograph and write. My work exists in the space between seeing and feeling. I do not photograph nature in order to document it, but to make its essence and its truth tangible - the tender and the dark, the fleeting and the beautiful moments within us and beyond us. I often say that I reveal what lies beneath my skin, and what exists outside of it.
I explore the emotional power of light and color and extend it through language, through lyrical texts. In this way, my images become metaphors for beauty and melancholy, for hope and fear, for loving, for finding oneself and losing oneself.
On my walks, I encounter these moments of transience and poetry again and again.
In the series Childhood on Summer Meadows, I turn my gaze toward the feeling of freedom and lightness that summer holds in open fields - a single, extended memory of childhood: running barefoot through the grass beside the campsite, a sense of happiness, and the endlessness of summer.
In a text, I write:
“Who can a bird’s egg belong to
dew on a blade of grass
blossom-light, golden willows, the South
Who has a claim to the ownership of

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.
