My way of photography
A look behind the scenes
On a mountain tour to the Hochvogel in the Allgäu region, I was climbing, lost in thought, when my gaze was magically drawn to an animal standing in the distance. On closer inspection, I discover a chamois standing as if painted on a rock.
I am walking all alone and very carefully pick up my camera to take a safety shot. I repeat this again and again as I carefully move on so as not to frighten the animal. Then finally I notice the cloud, which on closer inspection is shaped like an ibex. It is still offset from the chamois in the sky. I get closer and closer until the cloud is right behind the chamois. The animal stands quietly in one spot and as if she had only been waiting for me and my camera, she slowly lifts her foot. At this moment I manage to take this unique shot that captures two elements that come into contact with each other and fluidly begin to relate to each other. This situation is representative of my work as a photographer.
I set out on the path and the motifs find me. I love to be surprised by what I encounter. My eye reacts intuitively, I grasp the motif and through my way of perception, surprising images emerge that bring structures fluidly into motion, as a form of the 4th dimension.
Even during further processing on the computer, I let myself be surprised by the effect of effects and selected image sections. A realistic representation and a depiction of reality are not important to me. I understand photography in the original sense of the word as “painting with light”. Through my personal interpretation, unique photographic paintings are created.

About me
Photography in my life
I live with my wife and daughter in Merano in beautiful South Tyrol, when we are not travelling the world or Europe to feel, experience and capture new moments and dimensions.
I have been taking photographs since my youth, first as a hobby, then in exchange with photographers and filmmakers, and since 2014 professionally as an artist.
In my work I am guided entirely by my intuition and the moments I encounter. My profession as an architect and my training as a therapist for cranio-sacral osteopathy have opened my senses for fine structures and the view behind the obviously perceptible. The basic theme of my photography is the interlocking of forms and structures.
Universal spiritual laws and mythological wisdom have always fascinated and inspired me. These prompt me to examine, sometimes critically, the connections and laws of life, nature, as well as current issues of the day. This gives my paintings a deeper meaning, which often only becomes visible with the elaboration. Through an inner dialogue during viewing, moods arise that can show the viewer stories and deeper connections.
