Raised in the Black Forest, I am a photographer and art director based in Vienna.

Working across commissioned and personal projects, my practice spans photography, moving image and visual direction. I am interested in the way images shape perception, moving between editorial and commercial commissions while developing an ongoing artistic practice.
