YOUR STORY
Haiti: People with disabilities<br />
In 2012 and 2014 I visited Haiti to document the<br />
work of the local non-governmetal organization<br />
L’Arche Haiti. L’Arche is engaged in social projects<br />
for people with disabilities.<br />
The organizations runs two rehab centers where<br />
this very special target group finds workshops,<br />
small schools, living quarters and a welcoming<br />
home. The engagment of L’Arche is a major<br />
stepstone for the acceptance of people with<br />
disabilities in the Haitian society.
Kola-Peninsula: Life in the north<br />
Since 2012 I visited the Kola-Peninsula three<br />
times in or<strong>de</strong>r to learn about the local life<br />
un<strong>de</strong>r harsh and frosty conditions.<br />
Observing rein<strong>de</strong>er races at the festival of<br />
the north, taking part in hard physical labour<br />
or observing indigenous handicrafters -<br />
every trip brought different encounters and<br />
insights. How ever there was one linking element,<br />
the ever present cup of tea.
LIGHT<br />
THE DARK
Which of my photographs is my favorite? -<br />
The one I’m going to take tomorrow.<br />
(Imogen Cunningham)<br />
My mission<br />
Since 2016 I am traveling the world with my camera. Thirst for<br />
adventure, curiosity and fun are my drivers. I am curious about<br />
new countries, new people and new impressions. My goal is to<br />
capture experiences and encounters lively and at the same time<br />
respectfully.<br />
With my pictures I would like to build bridges. Often, apparent differences<br />
are ultimately just of little importance. A hearty laugh<br />
and mutual interest are universal.<br />
In my work, a look <strong>behind</strong> the <strong>scenes</strong> is important for me. This<br />
look does not necessarily have to be directed into the distance.<br />
Even everyday occurrences are exciting and seemingly ugly<br />
objects and situations also have beautiful aspects. Patience, creativity, openness and careful<br />
observation reveal undiscovered worlds and meanings. A step off of the beaten path opens up<br />
completely new perspectives.<br />
And who knows, maybe that is where the perfect picture of tomorrow is just waiting?<br />
