Whether I’m out in the field or shooting in my own studio, photography is both what I love and what I do.
I was born and raised in Gleisdorf, a picturesque part of Austria surrounded by apple orchards. After completing an apprenticeship as a carpentry technician, life led me in a different direction. I went on to study at the Academy for Applied Photography in Graz and later worked at the Blue Tomato Headquarters in Schladming, where I gained valuable experience in media and photography.
As a skateboarder myself, I discovered my true calling in capturing special moments in action sports and their lifestyle. Nevertheless, hints of my early landscape photography can still be seen in my work.
I am always pushing myself to grow as a photographer—experimenting with fresh perspectives and stepping out of my comfort zone to constantly push forward.
