From an early age, I was captivated by the romantic imagery of Caspar David Friedrich and the avant-garde photography of Man Ray. Lee Miller's work with the Surrealists and the hyper-realistic compositions of Miles Aldridge profoundly influenced my artistic direction. My vision of beauty is deeply rooted in classical art, inspired by Pre-Raphaelite passion and color. My creative process is guided by emotions, drawing inspiration from fashion, art, and music. I meticulously organize and collect images, shaping my work in my studio with a focus on backgrounds, lighting, and an extensive fashion archive. Photography is my medium to showcase unique visual worlds, requiring time and patience to bring stories to life. My academic journey instilled a dedication to meticulous execution, allowing me to experiment and learn from renowned photographers globally. I have created images featuring artists like Fischerspooner and Oliver Koletzki, expanding my collection of musician portraits. Inspired by surrealism, I blend reality and dream in my photo stories, often incorporating elements like flowers and starry skies. My work is a journey, continuously evolving as I seek new inspirations and experiences. While I embrace the opportunities of social media, I cherish the mysterious and unknown, striving to balance accessibility with depth. As a passionate and imaginative artist, I view each project as a chance to explore uncharted territories and capture the essence of my inner world.
