Love Affairs
With these images I want to take a closer look at what love is about. Every individual has their own melody of love. I want to evoke a feeling of a past memory, a longing and give a glimpse of other love stories or loving memories. Is love not the most important thing in this earthly world? Pure energy, devotion, infatuation, lust, passion, tenderness and yearning.
SoulCities
I am asking where do you come from and where are you going to? Cities reflect the people who live there and reflect peoples`culture and vice versa. Architectural styles, political situations, landscape colours, historical past and cultural souls – all seem to influence a city`s atmosphere. Doesn`t it?

GIVE ME A SMILE
about the longing for a smile
The main focus of this series is on portraits of the New Russia.
To this series I was inspired by the photographic work „little adults“ of Anna Skladmann, which is about children of the russian upper class. Anna Skaldmann`s work fascinated me so much that I asked for her permission to interprete their unusual characteristics and charismatic faces.
The priviledged children of today`s Russia` are growing up in a manner, as it has been common in leading families 200 years ago, on a stage named the world.
Their expression shows a lot of seriousness and distance, mixed with childlike curiosity and the longing for a smile. My work is questioning, how these children are mirrowing this glamorous world and the effect on the contemplator.
