The topic of my conceptual photography is the representation of the longings

and voids within our "western" society. Many aspects are driven by our desires,

but in the pursuit of it, there can also be friction and loss. But we keep up our

facades to the outside.

​

The world outside my western radius, which is rather unknown to me, I approach in

the style of observational photography.

The encounters with others that arise in the process take away some of the strangeness for me. Embracing the otherness helps me gain a deeper understanding of what is familiar to me, and vice versa. In order to artistically examine our western way of life, I rely on gaining perspective also from the distance and the unknown.

​

My commissioned work also facilitate intensive exchange. It brings me into contact with inspiring people, both behind and in front of the camera. Through these interactions, I learn their unique perspectives and experiences, greatly enriching my overall creative process as well.
