“Black and White has fascinated me from the beginning. Contrast and composition as a design tool for me the attraction: In particular, the reduction to the essentials. The photographic gaze focuses on the significant pixel; the visual sense reduced perception to black, white and all shades of grey. In this way monochromatic images with a timeless, surreal and sometimes monumental character arises.”

I am a 58 years old photographer and curator from Saarbruecken (Germany). At 16 I got my first SLR from my brother. That was the initial spark for my love of photography. I photograph exclusively black and white and print my work limited on Hahnemuehle FineArt Baryta.
