I’m a German-born photographer and multidisciplinary artist based in New York City. Photography is my point of departure for understanding the world. I’m drawn to moments of tenderness, everyday rituals, and acts of self-expression within an ever-shifting cultural landscape. Through my process, I seek to dissolve the boundaries between subject and observer, often becoming an active participant in the scene. In an increasingly divided world, my work searches for what unites rather than what separates us, placing humanity, pleasure and joy at the center while embracing idiosyncrasy and imperfection.
In a visual dance between raw honesty and painterly poetry, I work across photography, moving image, collage, and mixed media. I weave together black-and-white and color, digital and analog imagery. Writing, found materials, archival fragments, brushstrokes, and motion sequences become cinematic tapestries.
Alongside my artistic practice, I work as a creative director in fashion, advertising, and entertainment, where the dialogue between commissioned and personal work continues to shape my visual language.
My work has been featured in Items: Is Fashion Modern? at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, and published in Faces Magazine, ZEIT, WELT, and other international publications. As a visiting professor, I’ve taught at the School of Visual Arts in New York and Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. For select prints, I’m represented by White Label Project in Berlin. I’m a member of Photolab NYC. Running is my meditation, and I’ve never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
