I recognize the decisive image before it happens. I earned that eye in photojournalism — in situations where there is no second frame. I've worked as a photographer since 1998, with a focus on portrait and corporate work since 2003.

For Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, The New Yorker. For Porsche, Zeiss, Bechstein. I've photographed Kofi Annan, Quincy Jones, Michael Schumacher — people used to being seen. And who still revealed something that surprised even them.

That's exactly what you get when you work with me: not a polished stock image, but a portrait that captures the person. Even when that person would rather not be in front of a camera and has a full calendar waiting. I read the situation, work fast, and without friction. From ten minutes, I get an image that holds for five years.

That's the difference. My images aren't consumables. A portrait that works for five years — on the website, in the annual report, in the press — costs less over time than three that are outdated within a year. Photograph less, use it longer.

I don't think in single appointments, but in series and long-term impact. Anyone looking to make a face, a team, or a brand visible gets more than a photographer. Someone who thinks along.

Observe. Capture. Tell.
