Nymph
Time for dutch Noise Rock & Post Punk!
The bands SØWT and REAL FARMER live on the clubstage of Buman & Son in Cologne. I wanted to translate that raw, loud, brutal, yet at the same time vulnerable and honest music into images.
Journal
Notes from the work around the work.
Exhibitions, publications, awards, teaching and the occasional look behind the scenes.
Multivision Istanbul
Multivision Istanbul uses multiple photographic exposures to layer the city’s waterfront, architecture and shifting light into a dreamlike urban panorama. Familiar landmarks emerge through repetition and dissolve again, reflecting Istanbul’s density, history and position between water, continents and cultures.
Forbidden Fruits
An ongoing project.
Forbidden Fruits explores the unfamiliar side of plant life. Unusual fruit formations meet intricate strategies of deception, prey capture and coexistence. Beginning with a magnolia bearing fruit for the first time in the photographer’s garden, I examine the relationship between natural adaptation, human influence and a changing environment.
911 Dakar Multivision
It’s the Porsche GT3 RS (992) with the new 2024 Manthey Kit.
Sharper, meaner, and more untouchable than ever. Known as the „winged monster“, due to obvious reasons.
Shot in Dubai with a great team, see credits.
ANIMA
Silenced Souls
Photographed at night in natural history collections, ANIMA isolates preserved animals from their museum surroundings. A single, carefully placed light allows their faces, textures and gazes to emerge from the darkness. Stripped of context, the specimens appear less like exhibits and more like individual presences.
ANIMA is not intended as a scientific record. These are portraits: quiet, melancholic and almost alive. Taxidermy preserves the body, yet at the same time bears witness to absence and loss. The remaining dignity of the animals becomes a silent accusation—directed at humanity’s treatment of nature and the continuing disappearance of species.
ANIMA is part of the overarching body of work EQUILIBRIUM, together with SAMSA, IKARUS and BASILISK. Across these interconnected series, EQUILIBRIUM explores the fragile balance between preservation and extinction, beauty and threat—and our own responsibility within the natural world.
Multivision Hong Kong
The same approach like before in Manhattan and a completely different result. Recognizable structures and the special light let this wonderful and fragile city shine through.
Multilayered photography to increase the visual density of this vibrant and wonderful city.
Ikarus
We know the legend of Icarus, whose father Daedalus built wings of feathers and wax for himself and his son to escape from the captivity of Minos on Crete. The son Icarus became overconfident, the wax melted and he fell into the sea. Despite his father’s warnings.
Again, the parallels: Despite warnings and admonitions, we spiral into ever higher and warmer and warmer climes, and the crash is not far away. Okay, maybe that’s a bit drastic and striking.
Here are photographed specimens of animals, most of whose species are extinct. For this series Dr. Martin Päckert, the head of the ornithology section of the Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlungen Dresden, he supported me very dedicated in my work.
In painting, the “foolish” or “overconfident” person is often depicted as Icarus.

Multivision Manhattan
This reproduces the shimmering, chaotic, fussy, but beautiful character of Manhattan, New York.
The borough is vain, the city never sleeps because she is afraid to miss one single overwhelmed visitor.
I love her.
Singularity
Cities rarely allow a building to stand alone. Surrounded by neighbouring structures, traffic, signs and the visual density of urban life, architecture inevitably becomes part of a larger context.
SINGULARITY temporarily suspends that context. Each building is given space, silence and its own horizon. Set against an open, subtly graduated sky, it appears like a sculpture on a pedestal: detached from scale and surroundings, yet entirely present.
The series is not about the technical process of removing distractions. It is about creating a concentrated encounter with architecture. Form, rhythm, colour, proportion and character come to the foreground. Differences between decades, cultures and architectural ideas become visible without competing for attention.
Photographed in cities around the world, the buildings in SINGULARITY are treated not merely as structures, but as individual personalities—each occupying a space of its own.
