Born and raised in the south part of austria, been living in Lisbon for some years and Vienna where my current residence is.
Since 2003 my profession is working at cinema and tv productions as an Light-Technican, Gaffer and doing Camera works in low-budget and independent movie-projects.
Over twenty years i do photography, i spent a lot of time working within. I'm very into abstract minimal photography, trying to get a fragments of impressions of what is behind what I actually see. I take great pleasure in experimenting with all kinds of technical possibilities on a camera and also getting new perspectives when it comes to creating colors, shapes, emotions, etc. A camera on the one hand is a high-precision machine with many functions and possibilities, on the other hand it is a tool like a simple paintbrush of a painter. The idea with my kind of work is to come as close as possible to a painting by e.g. Claude Monet when shapes and colors move into one another. It Is somehow like painting with light. Photography is a handcraft what needs a lot of dedication, passion and time to be learnt. With each project and single shot i do, i hopfully come a bit closer towards that fantasic handcraft.
