Both photos were taken on analog film that had long since passed its expiration date. The larger image is a portrait of the model Taya, bathed in shadow. The expired emulsion lends the image a softness and unpredictability that no digital process can replicate. The smaller image shows frame 36 of a roll that broke before it could be fully advanced. A diffuse night scene, captured at the very edge of what the film was still capable of recording. Two mementos that remind me to relinquish a little control in order to find beauty in chance.
I am a Dresden-based photographer specialized in working with people and telling stories. I focus on portraits and editorials, whereby my work is always influenced by fashion and reportage photography. Getting in touch with interesting people and their minds and jobs every day is exciting for me. My roots are in media design which I have studied at the creative agency ART ARMINUM, where I am now as Executive Partner. I am always open to new collaborations with brands, models, and creatives. Talk to me if you have an idea.
