BEHIND THE CAMERA I\'ve been taking digital photos since 2008 and for a few years now, architecture and street photography has been my favourite genre. And almost always in black and white. For me, architectural photography means playing with lines, shapes, surfaces and structures. Together with different lighting situations and perspectives, we perceive the buildings surrounding us in a new and different way. The reduction to graphic elements and the omission of colour can be incredibly exciting and inspiring. I try to keep the work on the computer (image processing) as low as possible. The The motif, the image idea and the image composition as well as their realisation with the help of the camera are the focus, not the computer. Since 2017, I have also been happy to pass on my knowledge and experience to photography enthusiasts (and those who want to become one) in workshops. Initially in the beautiful city of Vienna, but now also in other cities such as Valencia, Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, Barcelona, Bilbao and Lisbon. Since 2018, I have also been offering photography classess for beginners and advanced students at the Volkshochschule Leipzig (vhs Leipzig). And finally, the most important thing: photography should be fun.
