BIO

I had the privilege of growing up in two incredible countries - Germany and Japan - but it was in Stuttgart that I spent most of my youth. During my studies in philosophy, sociology, and economics in Konstanz, I set off to Tokyo for an internship with Daimler. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, I discovered a passion for streetphotography and spent my nights capturing the city's beauty. Thanks to the support of friends, I was able to turn this passion into a career in product photography.

In 2023, I lived in Tokyo again and worked as a real estate photographer for a Google pilot project called Google Immersive View, while also working remotely on projects in Germany and Switzerland. Now, back in Germany, inspired by my real estate work for Google Maps, I have started to expand into architectural photography. I've had the opportunity to shoot for some prominent architectural firms, which I really enjoyed, and I plan to continue honing my craft in this field. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had so far, and I’m excited to see where my photography journey will take me next.
