I enjoy “stealing” true moments of life in my time machine, my camera, my extension of the eye. I can freeze time and light with the click of a button, I can extent the experience of time in a single frame and have a look into a pseudo world of motion and energy, all together constantly shifting state of being. The world I want to capture is the one right in front of our eyes that rushes by in a mind-blowing phase, often without us noticing it before it has passed.

The reality which is defined individually but lived generally by the masses can be documented by one single shot. A series of shots carries the ability to illustrate an ongoing development or a state of contradictions.

My choices in exposure, framing, aperture and saturation are all intentional to bring you as close as possible to my state of mind, when I composed the picture.
