Title:Meaning of Life
This shot was taken while I was working on a project with elderly people. I could not get any expression out of this women but just when the next person was getting ready to take her portrait and I had kind of given up, I asked her what the meaning of life is to her. She completely transformed, lit up and said "Jesus !" and smiled. In that moment this image was taken. To me this photograph represents the power meaning gives to our lives.
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. |
