I was born in 1966 not far from Cologne, Germany
I moved to Tecklenburger a good 15 years ago, where I now feel very much at home.
In addition to my hobby "riding", I rediscovered my love for photography in 2017. First it was nature photography, but I quickly realized that I'm not the type of person who gets out of bed at sunrise time.
Perhaps it also has to do with my learned profession that I prefer to have people in front of the camera. As a trained medical assistant, I deal with people every day. I love people, I love emotions and I want to capture them.
I start the music and ask my models to let themselves fall. I am constantly looking for the photo between the photos. But when I capture it, I cry with happiness. No seriously, it makes me happy. And that's the main thing after all. To have fun and be happy.
Yes, I'm very emotional and I hope you can see that in my photos.
Stefan Beutler, one of the most important photographers in our photographic genre, once gave me a great compliment when it came to the question of the "red thread" in photography. He said: Petra you do not have a "red thread", you are the "red thread".
If you can't do anything with intensive photography, you are wrong with me. But whoever gets involved, will be taken on a journey.
