Since september 2023 I have a small Ricoh GR III in my bag instead of tobacco. Once a month I share the snapshots i take with it.

@flashes.blue four images is not enough. Can we have 10 please?

I offer free portraits and reportage for projects, associations and initiatives that are committed to anti-fascism, equality and universal human rights, against exclusion, hatred and German conditions. I’ll travel wherever I’m asked.

What the reporters tell us on 12 pages in the current ZEITmagazin further undermines my miserable remaining trust (if there was any) in the catholic church, the police and the judiciary.

In the summer of 2023, I put on latex gloves and waded knee-deep into mountains of paper, books, photo prints and household textiles in their original packaging.

For ZEIT Campus I was asked to portray the really wonderful Bekka and we even made it onto the cover of the current (free!) mental health guide!

We met in an incredibly small music studio that was crammed with instruments and speakers, but I mainly wanted to do close-ups anyway 😅
