- my short interventions with the outside world - updated regularly

I have the urge to tell and am interested in observing human behavior. I try to highlight human emotions in my work and at the same time I see beauty in objects or nature. I guess most of my work would be categorized as 'social documentary', but also use my images as metaphors to tell my own story. But the images are never staged or altered, that would feel wrong. It feels like a relief to express feelings through images. I work with different cameras, analogue and digital, whatever is on hand..
