About
Born and raised in Nürnberg/Germany, I followed my wide range of interests and first studied fields such as sociology, political science and linguistics. I later went on to dive into media and film studies in Germany, Colombia and Thailand with a focus on the Global South.
As a lifelong student of social sciences and fascinated by people and the nature of things every day, I continue to explore my passion for storytelling and social dynamics through photography and the moving image.
