'As The crows fly' is my current book project. In summer of 2023, I have spent two
months traveling through Great Britain; from the south-westerly to the north-easterly
point: 603 miles 'as the crows fly'. I was interested in what my eyes would perceive.
Knowing that photography is always subjective, I was interested in MY reflected inventory
of Great Britain after Brexit. Influenced by my developed emotional world but also by my
expectations towards Great Britain, the photos of my upcoming book reflect my feelings
about Great Britain in 2023. As I do not intend to publish it as a travel documentary but
rather a personal story, the photos will be presented in a non-chronological sequence.

I am a Hamburg based photographer. Working on my projects from the perspective of a
natural scientist, I follow the need to bring order in what I see. My photographic work has
been selected as a finalist in several photo competitions and has been exhibited in
Australia, Europe, Iran and South America. It is influenced by the work and teaching of
Siegfried Hansen, Mark Power and Alec Soth, driven by the constant desire of
developing myself further. Inspired by Christian Patterson's Redheaded Peckerwood, I
am currently photographing the emotional traces of the Great Hamburg Flood of 1962 as
part of my studies at the Hamburger Werkstattfotografie. It is to be seen as continuation
of my work Haymat Wilhelmsburg, which I developed in my master class with Andreas
Herzau. As a member of various photographer communities I organized several photo
festivals, curated group exhibitions and guided through exhibitions.
