About
Experienced editorial and corporate photographer based in Oslo, Norway. I´m working for corporate clients, corporate publishing houses as well as leading magazines on assignments in Scandinavia and abroad.
I´m working on a broad specter of topics but always with the same approach: to discover the motives in actuality and on location - and in case staging is necessary, it is done in an natural way.
Professional background
Since 1997 I have been working full-time as a photographer, only interrupted by a couple of years on the other side: at the picture desk of the daily newspaper "die tageszeitung" and a magazine in Berlin. Prior to working as a photographer, I took a Master´s degree in Political Science, Social Anthropology and Economics at the University of Freiburg - which may have influenced my kind of fieldwork approach to photography. In 2005 I moved from Germany to Oslo. During these years I have aquired an in-depth local knowledge of Oslo and the Norwegian society.
Speaking Norwegian, German and English
I look forward to supporting your project with my photographs. Please don´t hesitate to get in touch.
