dpi: Please tell us how you got involved with the photographic<br />

world? Who inspired you to become a photographer?<br />

My father studied photography and eventually became<br />

Director of Photography at a German Television Station.<br />

In his early years, before he started working with moving<br />

images, he produced a lot of very exciting photography<br />

which was rather personal and non commercial. He experimented<br />

a lot with the technologies of photography<br />

and his work was always on display at home. I was fascinated<br />

by the magic of it and was keen on learning more<br />

about it, I wanted to become the wizard’s apprentice and<br />

learn everything about the medium, tell stories, work with<br />

people and make even greater magic! With the age of<br />

13 I got my first camera and started shooting. For the next<br />

10 years I spent an enormous amount of time, energy and<br />

money on documenting not only my entire environment<br />

and my friends, but also learning the trade, the techniques<br />

and the secrets of photography. I researched and enjoyed<br />

many great photographers and tried to understand<br />

their visual voices. I assisted a commercial photographer<br />

for 3 years and learned the technical skills and how to run<br />

a business. He was a brilliant commercial photographer<br />

and teacher. For him: No idea or commission was too difficult<br />

or impossible.<br />

Age 23 I went to University in England and studied: ‘History<br />

and Theory of Photography’ .. that was it.. I was lost and<br />

found in photography.<br />

After that I moved to London and started working in<br />

photography as picture editor in a photo-agency, photographic<br />

director for a magazine and later on at an exciting<br />

agency for photographers and creatives. I set up<br />

my own photographers collective: www.photodebut.org.<br />

From my very first day in the UK I already did smaller editorial<br />

commissions.. and over the years they became more<br />

and more.<br />

dpiWhen did your current photographic style begin?<br />

How did you come about it?<br />

During my Assisting Years (20-23 years old) and at University<br />

I tried everything in photography I could think of..<br />

and then, suddenly.. I was fed up with all techniques.<br />

I wanted to reduce everything.. just work on my ideas<br />

and my visual grammar. I picked up a snapshot camera<br />

and started shooting without looking through the view<br />

finder… just guessing the picture.. I did this for a year..<br />

and just worked very hard on the editing of the images<br />

afterwards. .. that was an amazing practice and trained<br />

me in distancing myself from my work. Then I started<br />

looking through the viewfinder again… and I found a<br />

style which I liked.. but still needed to work on it for another<br />

3 years until I really understood what I was doing<br />

and why I was doing it. It became a very personal and<br />

emotional journey (All these years I kept working with<br />

4x5inch cameras, 6x7 and Digital alongside my own<br />

snapshot-camera experiments… I didn’t feel confident<br />

enough to test my newly discovered style on editorial,<br />

commercial or test shoots)<br />

dpiWhat elements of a picture do you care the most<br />

about when you take it?<br />

It’s the entire image as a whole. I neglect the technicalities<br />

(as I can rely on them anyway). I just think: THE PIC-<br />

TURE and the VIEWER. I think with every image I do: Does<br />

this picture work for someone else? Do they understand<br />

what I want to say? Would I understand this picture if<br />

someone else would have show it to me? … Why does it<br />

not work just yet.. ahhh .. that’s how it works.<br />

And then I have a new picture!<br />

dpiRegarding your ‘Dreams of Flying’ Series: What’s<br />

your main motive for this series?<br />

It is that the idea of ‘Childhood’ is always a joint experience<br />

between grown ups and children. Children do not<br />

know what it means: Childhood - they are in the middle<br />

of it and don’t really care about it. Grown ups have<br />

purely nostalgic memories of that time of which they are<br />

no longer part of.<br />

It is also about the amazing time of life when everything<br />

is free and amazing and great and new and everything<br />

is possible. I believe that we don’t need to loose that<br />

freedom when we grow up. We can still keep it. Just in<br />

a different frame work... BUT WE CAN KEEP IT FREE and<br />

AMAZING and can learn something new every day and<br />

have adventures every day!<br />
