Born and raised in Germany, I first visited California nearly a decade ago, never imagining it would one day become home. Many years and life experiences later, it has—and the wild beauty of the Golden State and the vast landscapes of the American West have never stopped amazing me.
Exploring the outdoors is where I feel most at home. I’m happiest chasing new destinations, camping beneath star-filled skies, and noticing the little details along the trail—always keeping an eye out for a well-earned sandwich and a great view halfway through.
In 2015, I bought my first camera to capture my travels in ‘higher quality’. I quickly realized photography isn’t just about images—it’s a way to slow down, notice details, and challenge myself creatively. For me, travel photography is about going with the flow, observing the world with open eyes, and discovering magic in both grand landscapes and subtle moments.
