I grew up in Graz, Austria, and have been living in Los Angeles for over 40 years, practically a native.

In my years of working as a clinical psychologist, I became interested in photography as a creative outlet. I had always had an interest in observing the details of daily life. Even as a very young child, I was mesmerized by Vermeer paintings with their luminous light and attention to the the beauty of ordinary scenes and objects. Edward Weston's flower photography and abstract images of bodies and objects appealed to me viscerally. Georgia O'Keefe's work helped me see flowers in new and dramatic ways. When I take photographs, I try to find unexpected points of view, capture lines and color in natural light. I find beauty by looking from different perspectives and without preconceptions.

None of my photos may be reproduced and/or used in any form of publication, print or the Internet without my written permission. Please contact me if you would like to use one of my images.

I do little post processing, mostly adjusting exposure, saturation and cropping.
