After moving to Namibia I worked for Associated Press, Agence France Press and the South African Broadcasting Corporation (from 1996 until 2010), covering everything from the war in Angola to the desert elephants, Angelina Jolie’s and Brad Pitt’s visit for the birth of their daughter Shiloh, and the state visits of the German, American and South African presidents.

I also published a photo book about the Namibian Desert Elephants and 5 years’ worth of the ‘Namibia Women’ calendar, and was a regular contributor to various German magazines (Abenteuer und Reisen, Cavallo, Abenteuer und Natur and others).

From 2005 to 2008, I also worked at Studio 77, a photography studio in Windhoek, Namibia. We did everything from studio portraits, weddings, advertisement and artist portfolios.

My current photographic passions are artistic portraiture and documentary family photography. I love taking photos that express emotions with natural or low light, and that tell stories. Capturing the magical in the mundane and the sacred in the seeming ordinariness of life, and showing the beauty that is still there even if you don't feel like smiling.

I also run courses on creating a poetic Photo Essay that turns your everyday into something magical, both live in Berlin and online.
