About Me
Two hearts are beating in my chest. Doudouff! Life has always been between two continents – two cultures. Born in Germany, bred in Africa. When three months old, we moved to Cape Town, then to Windhoek, Namibia. Raised in a German household, living in an African environment. Always appreciating this as a big advantage, a unique chance offered to me. Seeing the world with different eyes, from two opposite perspectives with a lot of understanding, empathy for people and cultures around me. And always important is nature, lots of space and freedom for different ideas and ways of life. I´m grateful for this.

Expertise
I am a trained designer. I first studied Interior Architecture at the University of Art and Design <Burg Giebichenstein> in Halle-Saale, then Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Bielefeld. Although I have specialized in photography, I am very passionate about design and architecture in general. The process of creating and the philosophy of aesthetics paired with meaning, philosophy, history and cultural environments is what drives me and is channeled in my artistic documentary and portraiture. Apart from creating visual content, I thrive in artistic environments and love to manage cultural events, curate exhibitions, give talks, host creative networks and pass on experience and skills.
Location
Since 2010 I have been working as a freelance photographer in Windhoek/Namibia for African and International clients. 2017 me and my family have set up a second home-base in the Bavarian Alps, Fischbachau. Now you can choose between snowy mountains, tanned savannah and lush green rivers as a backdrop for your photoshoot.
