About the author

“My pictures emerge from the passion, the overwhelming insatiabledesire, to visualize moods, feelings and elusive moments and to makethem imperishable”

Photography poses the ideal medium tocommunicate things the way I consider it important. In doing sophotography is only of interest to me in the emotionally artisticaspect; as a mere means of documentation it is rather uninteresting.

My pictures are supposed to touch, captivate, fascinate and shock the viewer, …, maybe even to inspire.

Ido not know whether or not my pictures are good. I myself have got highexpectations on what I am doing and on my professionalism. For me, apicture is good, if it has “power” and if it radiates “spirit andatmosphere”, imprints it on the observer and lets him/her participatein it. Has this goal been reached perfectly, than photography, in myopinion, really is art.

It is impossible to generate greatpictures without the intensive participation of my models. They,therefore, deserve the greatest gratitude and appreciation.
