Ich habe als Journalist angefangen. Damals ging es um Geschichten – um das, was Menschen tun, und um das, was sie verbergen. Irgendwann habe ich gemerkt: Manche Dinge lassen sich besser zeigen als erklären. Nicht, weil Worte zu schwach sind, sondern weil Bilder direkter sind.
Die Fotografie hat mich über einen Fotoessay erwischt. Seitdem suche ich nicht mehr nur nach Motiven, sondern nach Momenten, in denen ein Bild eine Spannung bekommt: ein Blick, eine Linie, ein Detail, ein Lichtwechsel. Ich habe an der Fachhochschule für Design in Dortmund gelernt, diese Sprache technisch sauber zu sprechen – und danach meinen eigenen Ton darin gefunden.
Ich arbeite bewusst und ruhig. Ich mag Kompositionen, die durchdacht sind, ohne geschniegelt zu wirken. Mich interessieren Räume, Körper, Strukturen und das Dazwischen
