Hi! I'm a street photographer currently based in Austria. I first came into contact with street photography while still living in Los Angeles, where I used to work as a celebrity photographer for some time. Learning by doing was my survival motto in the City of Angels. The tough streets taught me the hard way and became my best teacher. I have a bachelor of arts in acting, theatre and musical theatre and some experience in screenwriting. Street photography brings these art forms together beautifully. For me, the streets are the greatest stage of life, a spectacular and vivid Shakespearean theatre with the most diverse, colorful and interesting characters, costumes and props you can ever imagine. No need for a script, because life on the streets writes the best stories. Unrehearsed, un-staged and unscripted without any rules or direction. Just like in theatre and film, I enjoy comedy and drama alike, always keeping my main focus on telling a good story. Street photography is my greatest passion and also my best teacher in life, teaching me to slow down and be fully present in the moment. Out on the streets, I’m in the flow. It’s where I feel most alive and completely immersed in the moment. Calm yet highly alert, almost like a meditative state. When I eagerly press the shutter, all I can hear is the familiar sound of "click, click, click," like listening to my own heartbeat. My heart literally beats for the streets - it's the best feeling in the world!
