I live and work in Vienna and photograph people.
I am interested in their imperfections, their charisma, the small gestures that tell you so much about them. Every person is beautiful in their own way – not perfect, but real. That’s exactly what I want to show with my photography.
Sometimes all it takes is a glance, a movement, a fleeting moment – and suddenly a picture tells a whole story. I try to capture precisely these moments.
My shoots are relaxed and unagitated. No stiff posing, no pressure. Instead, there is space to feel comfortable, to show yourself as you really are. With sensitivity and experience, I help you to let go of the tension until a moment arises that feels real. This creates images with depth, character and emotion.
Reduction instead of distraction. No big props, no backdrops – just the focus on the person. For me, true beauty lies not in perfection, but in what makes a person unique.
I’m quiet, almost invisible during reports and events. I observe, track down moods and capture moments as they happen – unposed, honest, alive.
