About me

photography

Photography, to me, is capturing moments the way I see or perceive them with my eyes. There are infinite ways of capturing one object, a moment, a person, an animal or a landscape. It all lies in the eye of the photographer. Taking a picture does not start with a camera, it starts with your eye.

I left my home country Austria at the age of 16, ready to explore the world. Since then I have lived and worked in Denmark, California, Germany, Italy, London, the mainland of Spain and the Canary Islands, Costa Rica, Honduras, and finally Mexico which I call my home since 2010.

I spent years working as a bartender and other random jobs before I started working as a full time photographer in 2008 while living in Costa Rica.

A childhood friend from Austria once told me that when we were about 9 or 10 years old I’d say to him that when I grew up, I’d want to travel the world, and live in the jungle.”

I don’t really remember saying that but funnily, it’s pretty much what I ended up doing and today I wouldn’t want it any other way. I am now based in Sayulita Mexico since 2014.
