Was liebst du an deinem Job?

What I love most about my job is the ability to capture genuine moments and tell stories through my lens. Whether it’s an event, a behind-the-scenes shoot, or a special occasion, I freeze emotions and memories that people can cherish forever.

I thrive on the unpredictability of live moments, the laughter, the connections, the unfiltered expressions, and the challenge of capturing them in a way that feels real and meaningful. There’s something gratifying about delivering images that make people feel something, whether nostalgia, joy or a sense of connection to the moment.

Beyond the creative aspect, I love meeting new people, experiencing different environments, and being part of unforgettable moments. Every shoot is a new adventure that keeps my passion for photography alive.

Welche Shootings hast du schon gemacht und wie hast du sie besonders gemacht?

I’ve done a wide variety of shoots, each with its own unique challenges and creative opportunities. Here are some of the key types of shoots I’ve worked on and how I make them unique:

1. Portrait & Headshot Photography
I started with portrait photography, focusing on headshots, beauty edits, and high-end retouching. I make these special by creating a comfortable, relaxed environment where people can be themselves. By guiding them through natural poses and expressions, I capture authentic and polished portraits, enhancing them with my retouching skills to bring out their best features without losing their natural essence.

2. Event Photography
I thrive in fast-paced environments, from weddings and corporate events to private celebrations. My event photography is unique because I can anticipate key moments, a laugh between friends, an emotional toast, or a spontaneous dance move. I blend into the background to capture candid, unposed shots while ensuring key moments are documented in a natural and storytelling-driven way.

3. Behind-the-scenes (BTS) Photography
BTS work is about capturing the process, not just the final product. Whether it’s a film set, a music video, or a fashion shoot, I focus on small but meaningful interactions, directors giving cues, makeup artists making last-minute touches, and actors getting into character. These moments bring depth to the final project and tell the story behind the story.

4. Lifestyle & Candid Photography
Lifestyle photography is all about authenticity. Whether it’s a family session, a brand shoot, or a day-in-the-life-style documentary, I aim to capture people as they indeed are. By encouraging natural movement and interactions, I create images that feel real and full of life.

5. Editorial & Creative Shoots
For editorial or conceptual shoots, I focus on the artistic vision. Whether working with models, stylists, or creative directors, I bring ideas to life by creating visually striking images using dramatic lighting, unique angles, and storytelling elements.

How I Make Every Shoot Special
Personal Connection – I take the time to understand the story behind each shoot, whether it’s a couple’s love story, a brand’s message, or a creative vision.
Attention to Detail – I make sure every shot is intentional and visually compelling, from lighting to composition.
Candid & Real Moments – I capture authenticity, ensuring every image evokes a feeling or memory.
Post-Processing Magic – My retouching and editing process enhances the images while keeping them natural and accurate to the moment.
Every shoot is an opportunity to tell a story, preserve emotions, and create something meaningful, which makes my work truly special.

"While I may not have a shelf full of trophies, my greatest award is the satisfaction of my clients. Every time someone sees their photos and feels an emotional connection to the moment I captured, that’s the best recognition I could ask for. The trust my clients place in me to document their memories, events, and creative visions is what truly validates my work. Their smiles, heartfelt reactions, and repeat business are my biggest honors."
