I was kidnapped at the age of 11. To this day, this event is one of the most spectacular cases in German post-war history.

I've been taking photos for 20 years. The most important element for me is the perspective in connection with the picture division. In doing so, I always try to show special, but perhaps also ordinary moments that you cannot initially see with the naked eye, but are nevertheless omnipresent.
Sometimes the motifs fly to you. And sometimes you have to go to great lengths to implement the right perspective.
