Visual storytelling, interesting stories and great people I met in my documentary photography

As a documentary photography specialist, I’ve had the privilege of telling human-centered stories from around the world. Working with German photo agencies and having my work published in international magazines, I’ve met remarkable people whose lives and experiences have shaped the narratives I capture.

In some of these you will find a written text and the full story, others are simply photoessays which I see as a more personal journal, sharing with you the journey where I come from as a photographer.

But most important, I can use this platform to introduce you to some interesting people that I have met already – and even more important, will meet in the future. 

If you’re interested in how storytelling translates to commercial work, explore my Event Photography page.

My personal Heart Project in documentary photography for the last 25 years is my photography coffee table book about ALLEZ LE TOUR!

A long-term photographic project about Life alongside Tour de France in analog black and white photographs. Feel free to visit the projects website ALLEZ LE TOUR! 16 years life alongside the road of TOUR DE FRANCE

If you have friends in cycling and you need a gift, you cant go wrong with this book. And on top of that, you support me and the project, to reach 25 years of documenting life alongside Tour de France. (For now its 2005-2024).
