A serie i made during my last trip to India got 5 honorable mentions at the IPA awards 2013.

" 'Seeking silence' a personal search in new directions in my photography. Finally I realize that it is the 'silence' what I was looking for in my photography. More and more i'm letting go of all the thoughts ' i should, i have to, it's better, according to..' I just want to hear the silence in myself. In order to use and let my photography be pure, I had to be silence. From this new experience i found out, beeing at the Maha Kumbh Mela 2013, that I didn't want to cover the Maha Kumbh Mela ( what was the reason why I wanted to go to India again) I turned around and watched the sunrise as a women was bathing in total peace and silence. I was seeking silence".
