Photographing has always been fascinating to me. Succeeding with my work at more and more salons motivated me with each new award more to carry on. I have been taken part at international salons since 2003. The most motivating driver for me is my passions to travel, nature and surely photographic. Al together makes it complete.
Photographing is teaching me perceiving and seeing in an extraordinary and intense way. This is a fantastical feeling to me. I won’t be a photographer who is taking pictures only from reality. I also express the artistically point of view.
In 2019 the Federation internationale de l'art photographique awarded me by the Distinction of Excellent FIAP Diamond 3 (EFIAP/d3)., Since 2019 I am a member of PSA. In 2019 I achieved the distinction FAPU, Fellow of Asia Photographers Union.
For more than 10 years I have worked as a judge in national and international photography competitions.
My travels I often present by slide shows and lectures. The interested audience I like to enchant by the beauty and the magic but nevertheless to bring up the fragility of those fascinating worlds of our planet. I have of course certain conscious for responsibility.
Since I am fully employed as Graphic Designer and Photographer at a company, I do travelling only at my leisure days. This means that I travel maximal four week usually two times per year. It’s a sufficient time horizon to bring home some good pictures. If possible I book trips that are exclusive for photographers.
