Taking pictures has been my hobby ever since my grandma bought me a Pentax P3N SLR when I was ca. 11 years old. In high school and college I enjoyed using and developing slide film in the darkroom. Then in 2008, I started to invest more time into the hobby. Generally, I try to take photos that require a minimal amount of post-processing - trying to obtain the image I want "in camera". The photography genres that I enjoy the most are portrait, light painting, nighttime and flowers.
