It was a sunny morning in May 2025 when I visited Upper Antelope Canyon. I was fascinated by the shapes, textures and colors I saw.

  • Biography
    I was born in Bavaria, where I also live, and worked as a software developer and consultant. With my pictures I want to show the beautiful sides of our planet and to contribute to the preservation of the nature on earth. Furthermore my goal is to use my photos to get involved in the field of climate protection and peace initiatives. Structures, shapes and contrasts play a major role in the field of photography. Integrating lines, symmetries and light-dark contrasts into a picture appeals to me a lot. I am driven by making beautiful, aesthetic and magic pictures.
