" Attracted by the play of light and shadow, color combinations and strange observations, pointing my camera at a subject is not only for the help of the documentation, but also a medium to shed light on a situation or event. Especially the youth culture and eroticism, the spirit of my surroundings is often photographed. This then creates new inspiration for a drawing or painting. Nevertheless, a shot photo can also exist as a photo on its own, to help registration with the naked eye. Mostly with my Polaroid or analog camera I vaguely capture my curiosities, with the cell phone or digital camera I capture situations that are fast-moving and fade within the next moment. As a result, I have also created a gigantic database of photos. What is important for me when taking pictures is that I can relive the moment afterwards and, at best, the viewer can experience what I was doing at the moment."
