When traveling the road we call ” Life “, looking for balance within ourselves, we discover places never known before and situations only feared before. My life has given me so much, often after initially feeling helpless and finding no way out. One of the most valuable gifts was to be able to tell my story through photography. All over the world, I have been driven by my curiosity to find an answer to the question, ” We have received Life. What do we do with it and where does it bring us? “ These are the stories I like to tell. The second gift Life gave me is the possibility to practice Zen Buddhism. This has made my road to travel on significantly easier and has given me balance. My experience as a photographer is diverse. For years, I have worked as a portrait photographer but also for advertising agencies and live performances of mainly jazz musicians. My work, mainly the photography made on my journeys, has been shown in art galleries and other art institutions. In Zanzibar, through the project ” the beautiful eyes “, both sides of my balance come together. My inner self expresses itself through Photography and the expending boundaries of my photographic vision in the present moment by Zen Buddhism.
