I was born in Germany in the 60s. In 1999 I immigrated with my family to Spain, where I have been living and working until now. My young heart has been beating for art and music and already at the age of 12, I had the dream of becoming a professional musician. But this was a bit naïve and I started an apprenticeship as a cook. After a short time I made a fast career (1 Michelin star). Then I studied art and music! . In all this time I gave many live concerts and released 4 cd albums, did a lot of art and conceptual photography.
Since 2009 self-employed as a private chef! During this time I started to photograph my views out of the kitchen windows of my clients.
Thinking about taking other food photos and also making the layout extraordinary, I borrowed a Nikon D5600 with a 35mm fixed focal length and started to take really focused photos again…I was already doing street photography without knowing it!
