It all started almost 40 years ago with my granddad's kodak box camera in the zoo. I've travelled through the photographic jungle on my own - without having any experience or photographic education when I started. During the past 20 years I have learned a lot und experienced with all kinds of techniques, subjects and ideas. after all there are just two favourites of mine, that still remain in my head and my heart. architecture and landscape will always have a special place in my photographic heart. I really appreciate the peace and qietness being somewhere all alone, composing a great landscape photograph ... but I really love classical portraiture photography - especially in b&w. it is always a true challenge to show other persons how they appear to me - and not how they would probably like to be seen by others or themselves.

During the 90's I studied photography at the "Neue Kunstschule Zürich" and a few years ago I joined the "Syndikat klassischer Fotografen" a group of Swiss photographers that are well-known for their high quality work.

A few years ago I had my first exhibition in the gallery "Werkstattladen" in Winterthur, showing my Bretagne landscape work which was simply entitled "Stone-Age". In 2005 there was an exhibition of the "Syndikat klassischer Fotografen" at the "Kraftwerk" in Schaffhausen and in december 2006 a series of my nude portraits has been shown at Switzerland's largest photographic exhibition, the photo'06 in Zurich (Maag Areal).

In 2006 I was awarded by PHOTOSUISSE with the first prize in the categorie b&w portrait and in spring 2007 I have won the first prize in the category b&w sport - again with a portrait..

My work has been sold to private persons only ..... so far. Some of my "Menschenbilder" can be seen at Saatchi's Gallery.
