Title:Be yourself
This image of a dancer was taken on the streets of industrial Williamsburg/Brooklyn. To me it stands for the freedom to be yourself whoever and wherever you are, represented by the contrast of the beauty of the dress and the movement of the dancer with the roughness of her surroundings. You don't have to fit in, you don't have to belong. Nothing can stop you, if you are yourself and you also make the world more beautiful.
Biography:
For the first three years in the Big Apple I worked as a freelance photo assistant for many different New York based photographers.
In 1999 I took on a full time first assistant position for Peter Arnell/The Arnell Group. It was a great opportunity to work on large scale commercial shoots.
I left assisting behind me in 2001 and for the following 12 years worked as a freelance photographer in the city, specializing in portrait and music photography.
In 2013, after having spent 17 years in the States I decided to move back to Germany.
Today I live and work in Berlin. |
