About me

Real moments, honestly told

As a photographer in the beautiful Chiemgau, I combine technical precision with an eye for the special moment.

What began as a passion is now my daily standard: to create images that show not only what happened, but how it felt. Whether at weddings, in the studio or at events – my goal is to capture your story authentically and timelessly.

I place great value on a relaxed atmosphere in which natural images can emerge – with patience, the right timing and a creative visual language.

My approach – photography with attitude

I believe the best photos aren't created in the moment when someone poses for the camera – but in the moment when they forget it's there. That's why I work with plenty of patience, light conversation and the right timing, rather than strict instructions and forced poses.

The result: images that feel real. Images where, even twenty years later, you can still say: “That's really how it was.” Whether at weddings at Lake Chiemsee, outdoor portraits in the Chiemgau or in the studio in Traunstein – this standard is with me on every shot.

As a photographer from Vachendorf near Traunstein, I'm deeply rooted in the region. I know the places, I know the light – and I know when it's time to put the camera down and simply be there.

Equipment & how I work

I shoot with the Sony Alpha 7 III and 7 IV – full-frame cameras that deliver exceptional results even in difficult lighting. For weddings that means: sharp images during the candlelit first dance, natural portraits at dusk and details that other cameras simply don't capture.

Editing is done by hand – every image you receive from me was developed individually, not run through an automatic filter. That difference shows in every photo: in the colours, the depth, the mood.
