»For me, Photography is kind of a training in seeing. I try to get a special view of the world, sometimes taking distance from everything and looking at things from the outside, sometimes trying to dive into the inside views, visualizing a feeling or an atmosphere.«


»As a cinematographer, most of the time I'm not the author of the projects I'm working on, but I'm trying to translate a vision into images that is not originally mine. Photography therefore gives me a manageable framework to try myself out and experiment with my own visions. Furthermore, in photography, I find it easier to free myself from the compulsion of having to tell a narrative.«
