My core topic is “solitude”, the two facets of being alone: self-chosen independence on the one hand and unwanted loneliness on the other hand.

In my pictures it is often in the eye of the beholder whether a photo is perceived as an expression of independence or loneliness.

Technical leitmotif is “Reduce to the Max”: square, black & white, simple and authentic. There is nothing in the pictures that was not already on the analogue or digital negative.
