Artist Statement
In the tradition of candid documentary and street photography I normally work on projects for a couple of years until they finally end up with an exhibition and/or an artist book.
Sometimes I also do portrait series in the streets (LONDONERS, 2008, or NEW YORKERS, 2012) that are realized within a few days.
A common thread that runs through all my work is contemporary urban living in the western world. I live in Berlin and most of my photo projects are inspired by daily life here.
