Photography is the most intriguing handcrafted process I can imagine. From just that very moment of visualizing the object until the final printed image, I am the one measuring, metering and making the decisions about the motive in front of my eyes and the camera. Results are calculated and thought out. The camera serves its purpose for me as the instrument which facilitates my visual ideas and concepts into a picture. Thus I am a convinced Hasselblad and Leica aficionado, as they best relay my exact visual intentions and are superior in technical directness and quality... both straightforward and excellent systems which have proven their timelessness. Traditional Film materials are also important to me and I have worked together for many years with a photo lab in Munich which is responsive to my wishes as a photographer and not pressing digital results from a programmed computer. I love my Bavarian homeland and endeavor to be an attester of her natural beauty and grandness without being overly sentimental.
