"When I take pictures I can meet incredibly interesting people and experience situations that I would not otherwise see: I once spent a day in a high-security jail, accompanied Chancellor Angela Merkel, met Sting and Shaggy at the same time, had several chaotic situations in Haiti, an exorcism in Nigeria or nice moments backstage at Fashion Week Berlin."

"Creativity paired with perfect implementation of briefings - great customer proximity combined with high quality & state-of-the-art solutions – high expertise combined with a very pleasant personality."
