About Me
I am a German biologist and have lived and worked in China and the United States. I took my first photography steps with my father, who gave me my first camera and taught me about light. During my doctorate, exploring the ultrastructure of a plant virus, I learned darkroom techniques to develop and print my electron micrographs. Since moving to Paris, I am studying fine art photography with Meredith Mullins on the Ile Saint Louis. In my work, I search for calm and finding magic in the present moment.
My images have received honors in the PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris, the International Fine Art Photography Award, TZIPAC Zebra Awards, and the Fine Art Photography Awards competitions.
