I was born in Xanten 1981 and I live in Krefeld near Düsseldorf today where I also work in my day job in the information technology.

After some experiences in digital processing and first photographic steps in 2007 I actuated my photographic activities more passionate and developed my own photographic style rapidly in the following year. I learned my photographic and post processing skills always completely self educated which are also under continuous development. This brings also the advantage that I never became seduced to just copy a style but always could evolve myself freely and creative.

Since the interest in abandoned places attends me already for many years it was definite that they became my first favourite motif. But at the same time my second favoured domain motifs, the modern architecture evolved.
Is it primarily the atmosphere and the stories behind what catches me with the decayed motifs of abandoned places - It is different with the modern motifs. In that case it is more the art of seeing a place or building in different eyes, to use them as tools to create completely new, own and individual sights.

Since a long time now the creative photo art is an important and elementary part in my life.
My pictures are stamped by extraordinary compositions with atmosphere, special light and mood but also by the play of light and forms. I describe my photos just as alive.

When taking photos I invest a lot of time, first I let the place affect me for some time, I feel and collect its mood and history. I think about it for a while and that is the way the picture I want to express later slowly evolves in my head.
Especially my decay related motifs are filled up with stories I want to tell, good as well as bad ones. They are going to be told while watching the picture, always a little different depending on the viewer.

Sometimes I feel embraced to abrogate rules and reality and work beside existent ideals. For example my works use blooming or extraordinary camera positions as stylistic devices. This is also the reason I came to the working title of my website boundless mind. I dont want to have my fantasy and ideas controlled by rules, reality and limitations but to realize everything like I sees it in my mind!

I started taking digital photos in late 2006. Learning how to use my camera and image editing software has been a fascinating journey. Joining 1X has pushed me to take the next steps along this road on countless occasions as all the examples of accomplished photography on here provided inspiration.
