The images were made in a covered street flanked by ancient
columns. The shadows of the people walking create a mysterious,
magical shadow theater. These images are the first of my series
Shadow Play.
I am a German biologist and have lived and worked in China and the United States. I took my first photography steps with my father, who gave me my first camera and taught me about light. During my doctorate, exploring the ultrastructure of a plant virus, I learned darkroom techniques to develop and print my electron micrographs. Since moving to Paris, I am studying fine art photography with Meredith Mullins on the Ile Saint Louis. In my work, I search for calm and finding magic in the present moment.
