About Me


As a photographer, I’m covering different fields, like music and travelling. My favourite subjects are people. Since 2006, when I started the 3D PEOPLE project, I’m concentrating on 3D photography: A normal photo looks flat. A 3D-photo gives you the impression of depth, it seems that you can grab people or objects in the picture, if you look at it through 3D-glasses.
3D PEOPLE is a collection of 3D portraits of musicians; bands as well as solo singers. It’s planned to publish 3D PEOPLE as a book around the end of 2008 or early 2009. All net proceeds will be donated to the „Berliner Aidshilfe“, which is a local help organisation. The deadline for the project is in autumn 2008. You'll find many non-3D-shots and a few 3D-pictures from these shootings in the "pics" or "Fotos" section and a list with all artists featured so far at the bottom of this page.
Besides that, I’m doing 3D photos of everyone who’s interested. But only on condition that he/she is interesting as a possible subject for a follow-up project to 3D PEOPLE and agrees to use his/her photos for this. Everyone who wants his photo taken in 3D: Please feel free to contact me! But keep in mind that the photoshoot usually has to be done in Berlin, Germany!
Non-3D publications so far: Spex, Tip, Stern, zitty, WOM Magazin, (Burger) King Magazin, Der Tagesspiegel, Bobby Womack- 12 CD Box (Cover + Booklet) a.o.
Exhibition: TEENAGE KICKS (Celebrating Punk’s 30th birthday) at Berlin’s famous Junction Bar from April 2006–February 2007, showing photos of The Damned, The Ramones, Johnny Thunders, The Ruts, Siouxsie, UK Subs, The Cure, Die Toten Hosen a.o.
