( About me )

I photograph politics, sports, and public events from Vorarlberg — the assignments that have to land on a desk the same night.

Most of my work is for the press: elections, football, and state visits across Central Europe. I am looking for the frame that holds the moment.

Timing first. I wait for the picture that holds the moment — then I file, and I go on to the next one.

From state elections and coalition talks to international football — at 17 he had already built an impressive photography CV, a craft he taught himself.
