Artistic work

His first well-known series "Verwischungen" are located on the border between analog landscape photography and painting. Long exposures with simultaneous vigorous movement of the camera create archaic landscapes in black and white and color.

Since 2007 he has been expanding this technology to include people, and since 2008 to architecture and urban spaces. In 2012 the series "Undivided Attention" followed as a result of his master's degree, from 2014 the series "Urbanics", which is constantly being expanded. Large urban scenes appear like carefully staged stage sets. In 2015 the catalog "Undivided Attention", photographs 2003 - 2014, will be published by HP Nacke Verlag, Wuppertal.
