Winter’s Hatching Lines

This series is taken in Germany in 2023. It shows the place where I grew up: a landscape of wine yards and forests. The winter season reveals its unsophisticated and minimalistic charm of natural and human-made structures, patterns and lines – a poetry of winter’s hatching lines.

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.
