LagoonLine

This series started at the beginning of 2022 in the South of France. Totally fascinated by the beauty and the variety of structures and forms of the Grande Maïre lagoon, I returned a few months later to intensify my studies. Black, the colour of elegance and the unknown is focused. Revealing the silence, it invites us in a mysterious way to explore the depth we aren’t aware.

Based in France, I’m a German architect and amateur photographer. I’m influenced by a clear and reduced architecture, bright spaces and simple forms and feel attracted by everything that is sober, subtle and pure – what has finesse. For me photography is a kind of purification of my mind and a concentration in a double meaning. It’s a research to reduce the subject to its minimum, its so called essence.
