Creativity and passion
I have loved taking photographs since I was a child. I started small, literally - with a pocket camera and a 13 x 17 mm negative format.
On my 16th birthday, my grandmother gave me a technological quantum leap:
A SLR camera.
It opened up completely new photography worlds for me.
I got up at 4 a.m. to watch deer in the early morning mist and at night on a bridge,
to photograph the tracers of cars.
I spent entire weekends in the darkroom - fascinated by
how a picture slowly emerges on a piece of paper.
I almost always had my camera with me. One day a DJ saw me with it and asked
if I could take photos at his event - that same evening!
Now I had no other equipment apart from my Nikon - but I didn't have much time to think about it either.
I said yes, and with a little improvisation and a borrowed tripod, I managed my first assignment. The result was obviously pleasing - I've been hired regularly since then.
Event photography was my introduction to professional photography
and is still an integral part of my work today.
But whether at events or individually - I prefer photographing people.
Even as a child, I loved taking photographs.
I started small in the truest sense of the word -
with a pocket camera and the negative format 13 x 17 mm.
