Driven by Passion ... 

How it all started ....

My passion for photography has its roots in childhood photographs.
It is inextricably linked to the stories and history of my mother’s vast collection of photos..
Photos told me stories. Photos created stories in me.

The time that followed ....

I wanted to tell my own “stories”, with my own photos.  My photos should be free. They should have room for stories and timelessness.  That's why I decided to go for black and white right from the start. No distractions and directions given by colors or color mood. 
That became the basis of my rather creative and imaginative relationship with photography, and my own photos.
Of course I started analog, in my early twenties, I experimented with different types of black and white film, different types of paper and did my own photo processing.  

And now.... 

Some years ago I decided  to end my business career with the aim of giving room for creativity to my live. Very quickly I’ve discovered the limitless opportunities offered by digital photography. backed by workshops and supportive coaching.  My hobby turned into my absolute passion.  Lucky me - also into some business.  

My style hasn't changed much. I'm becoming more expressive, I'm learning a lot and I still like to experiment.
