The singularity within each of us is my topic of research. I investigate the twisted side of our personality and how it emerges in the outer world.
I use photos of nude human beings because the naked body has no cloth to cover the singularity that lives inside each of us, to conform, to hide itself in an anonymous multitude.
My recent published book "Life of a Singularity" is a dense summary of my work in the last 15 years.

I live and works in Ber­lin and deal with the medium of pho­to­graphy since 1994. I do work only with analog camera and photos will be hopefully used for exhibitions in galleries or production of books.
I do TFP shootings since I mainly perform portraits that aimed to freeze the hidden personality of models. It is a personal and private experience. I am used to work with professional although they live it as a collaboration and not a job.

My shootings are based on the concept that we have to enjoy them. During and after.
Sometimes, I also agree to do job where I am paid by the models, when for example, they are not willing to let me publish the pictures.

Although I request a model release agreement after the shooting, I am very concern about the models' privacy thus I always ask verbally for an authorization when I think that a model can be uncomfortable with a single photo.

I do also reportages.
