About me
What you should know about me
My work is based in my hometown Naumburg/Saale. This is where I coordinate the appointments of my local and non-local customers. I’m doing commissioned work with a focus on companies, business portraits, reportage & event as well as aerial photography with a drone all over Germany and even worldwide, depending on the customer’s location.
Since 1997 I have gained a wide range of photographic experience in the areas of reportage, event and wedding, made lots of new contacts and have implemented and expanded them in many new projects to this day.
To offer my customers the best possible photographic quality, I work with a network of people who support me in certain projects.
How I get my commissions: with authenticity and quality paired with this very special joy I have for my work.
To see how I work, take a look at my portfolio or join me for the behind the scenes extra.
Let us talk, write to each other or simply meet in person!
Professional Portfolio
My portfolio includes work for small, medium-sized and large businesses as well as advertising customers and editorial offices. The main focus here lies on working with the people of these companies. I create photos with authenticity and that certain something, from the employee to the managing director.
My aerial photographs include a repertoire of common landscape photographs for editorial offices and agencies, 360-degree aerial panoramas, which are created in cooperation with the 360Grad team as well as industrial and real estate photography.
To always keep my work at the highest level, it is very important for me to further sharpen my view with free work and thus always stay up to date in technical and creative matters. To achieve that, I work with highly professional equipment from well-known manufacturers.
The fun I have with my work goes beyond the job itself. Even the end result confirms a relaxed to casual atmosphere in the appointment. And yet, everything stays at a high professional level.
Freelens-Membership
I am a member of Freelens e.V., a professional association for photographers.
The largest organization for this profession is committed to photographers on a human, political and cultural level. Not only the intensive member service, but also contract negotiations with publishers or the organisation of workshops and lectures are part of the association’s wide range of tasks.
Current Work
More than 100 percent is not possible, even though I hear the sentence „You should give 115 percent!“ again and again. Sounds good, but I personally deliver one hundred percent quality to my customers without long waiting times.
Here is an overview of my photographic work, divided into genres and their current percentage utilization, which changes irregularly and seasonally.
Portfolio
Corporate
Nowadays it’s not easy to set yourself apart from others due to the myriads of photos on the web. In order to achieve this, it not only requires a good photographer, but also a concept and the necessary instinct to stage a company without any kitsch and high quality.
Henri Cartier-Bresson already said:
„A good photo is a photo you look at for more than a second.“
I am already at your side conceptually during the preliminary discussion and have been striking the chords of my customers for years with my photos. Despite being professional and results-oriented, I never forget to have fun with my projects.
Let us present your company in such a way that it remains in the memory of those who see our photos.
Business Portrait
A normal portrait is history, long live the story behind the portrait.
There is no other way of introducing the brief description of my work in the field of business portraits.
Most of the time a business portrait is not about a private person, but it is still important to bring across the personality of the portrayed person to a stranger as soon as he or she takes a look at the picture.
Often, this does not require large productions, but a positive connection between me and the person portrayed as well as with the potential customer, whom you want to reach with your photo.
Let us tell your professional story in the form of photos!
Reportage & Event
For me, reportage photography means, to capture what is happening in a photograph within a very short amount of time – sometimes even a fraction of a second. This photo has to make a clear statement about what has happened. It is not uncommon that positive as well as negative emotions are be captured within the process. When these pictures are viewed, these emotions can be relived.
This, however, requires a photographic eye and experience.
Whether you work in business, politics, art, culture or sports – use my offer as a reportage photographer and experience your event again from different perspectives.
Aerial Photography
In the field of aerial photography I create professional and unique shots for you. In addition to many other services, the following 6 points are covered.
Standard Aerial Photography | 360 Degree Aerial Panorama | Real Estate Photography |
Industrial Plants | Revision Flights | Video Flights
Good footage is essential for marketing purposes these days and the service or product has to gain center stage on photographs. My aerial photographs should offer you an added value by presenting your building from special perspectives.
Using drones is a very responsible task, especially in my work. All of the aerial photographs I do are taken within the framework of the legal requirements.
I have an exceptional permit for unmanned aviation systems (drone), proof of knowledge (drone driver’s license), commercial insurance protection and I keep all relevant documents with me during a job. Special permits will be obtained in consultation with you as the client and the responsible office in good time before the appointment.
People
My photographic portfolio in the „People“ area is particularly important to me. Most of the time these shots are taken during my commissioned work. However, there are also planned shots with set lights. This equipment occupies my entire car on the way to the appointment. Little is planned here and none of these shots is like the other. With these photos, only one thing is important to me: to show the portrayed person how he or she is in exactly this moment. Simply personal!
Free Work
For me, free work is an opportunity to optimize my photographic perspective between my commercial jobs. The play with light, the movements of the model, the technical and spatial challenges, which always provide new impulses in my photographic thinking and doing – these make up my work. As an athlete, I can primarily carry that out in sports photography.
Behind the Scenes
The only way to do great work is to love it. Steve Jobs (1955-2011, amerikanischer Unternehmer, Mitbegründer und CEO von Apple Inc)
A look behind the scenes can often only be gained through stories. Here you can see how I work and how my photos are created. But the fun is not neglected in this gallery.
