about
I am a fine art and documentary photographer based in Berlin, Germany. My cameras are mostly interested in people and their interdependence with space. Apart from long-term documentary projects I am trying to reflect personal memory and sentiments in my images.
My work has been published in Silvershotz, The Diplomat, Asia Times, The News Lens and Dodho Magazine among others, has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Australia, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Portugal, Thailand, United Kingdom, and the USA and is held in private collections.
