About Me

I was born in Siegen, in a very unspectacular environment full of DIY stores and free evangelical churches. After 7 years in Cologne, I moved to Berlin in 2015 where I bought my first camera (a Canon1800D) in 2017. Since 2019 I started to take photography more professionally, besides my studies of Comparative Literature and Film at FU Berlin.

My aspiration is to show my customers new sides of themselves that they may not have noticed. I want them to see how beautiful they are. At weddings, couple shoots or family shootings, I try to capture random moments of happiness.
My demand on my artistic work is different. Here I work more intuitively, steered by a kind of anger and world-weariness and also the desire to depict contradictions and grotesques without primarily judging. I work mostly with female-read characters and also think a lot in my work about disadvantage, grievances and the downfall of systems.

As a service I'm focused on:
homestories, storytelling and portraits of people melted with the environment where they feel the most comfortable. I do fashion shootings for small labels and agencies, take creative business pictures and artistic couple portraits.

I also offer creative writing concepts and campaigns, vintage/moody photo editing and social media content creation (LinkedIn/Instagram).

Agency

Together with my bestie Elvira Nisman, who also is an art director and photographer, we founded the social media and content agency moodystuff in 2020. It started as an artist collective, but we’ve recognised soon that the creative industry lacks a combination of fine art and fashion stories with real people.

“Our aim is to combine fashion, fineart, emotions and visual storytelling. We don’t believe in perfection, we live for authenticity, character and real personalities.”

Therefore, we founded moodystuff to provide brands, other digital creators or human beings aesthetic and fruitful content.

The Blind Spot at Kukumu | Berlin | Feb '23

Silence is an action, while stillness is a state.
There is a term in therapy called "Silent Treatment". It’s a passive-aggressive form of communication and can range from simple "sulking" to a form of emotional abuse. Through this refusal to communicate with someone who is trying to resolve a conflict or waiting for a response, contempt is expressed while verbal silence is maintained. Silent treatment is a form of punishment. What happens on the other side of silence in this process? Communication as a form of conflict resolution cannot be used. Inability, helplessness, faint, anger, fists hiding behind glass. Incapacity and despair disappear in a vacuum and implode until everything blows up and bursts and the whole world is suddenly a red rag and a blind spot at the same time.

Realized in four years, this subject was transported by me rather subconsciously and clear in retrospect, because it played a major role in my personal life and I repeatedly choose art as a an escape. The stories that are told are about giving up, breaking free, crashing, but ultimately also about winning by expressing oneself and opposing the wall of silence.
The images were created with the help of everyday objects, often by chance.

Blurred Dejection with Elvira Nasmann at MT Gallerie | Berlin | Mar '23

In our first common exhibition Blurred Dejection we visualized our different inner worlds and perceptions we experience through the current times. This connection to today and to a paralysis that we can observe in our environment, far and near, is particularly close to our hearts.
Driven by surreal daydreams, vain attempts to escape from the corset of modern society and the eternal feeling of the shattering of apocalyptic sprinkling, it shows our current attitude towards life.
