PHOTO-ARTIST

My work explores the space where photography meets painting — where a captured moment evolves beyond the lens into something more tactile, emotional, and interpretive. Each piece begins as a photograph, but through the addition of acrylic inks, pigments, and textured materials, it transforms into a hybrid artwork that challenges the boundaries of both mediums.

I draw inspiration from street photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Saul Leiter, whose ability to find poetry in the everyday continues to influence how I see and frame the world. At the same time, I’m deeply inspired by the mood and color of Impressionist painting, which guides the way I use light, texture, and abstraction in my work.

PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m an American photographer based in Munich, Germany, specializing in portrait, lifestyle, and empowering intimate photography. My work is all about helping people see themselves with confidence — whether through timeless portraits, expressive lifestyle sessions, or sensual imagery.

My goal is to help you see yourself as others already do — radiant, confident, and real. I offer private photo sessions across Munich and the surrounding areas, with services available in both English and German.
