Personal
- Born 1953 in London, grew up in Dublin, Ankara, Bonn; since 1971 based in Berlin;
- Photographer
- Member of DVF (Deutscher Verband für Fotografie) and of the Group of photographers "Fotofreunde Zehlendorf"
- During my artistic development photography turned out to be the main media of my expression. The range of my photographically curiosity is broad. The involvement with impermanence comes into the picture time by time. The varying moods in landscapes and places but also the concentrating effect of abstracting cuttings as well as experimenting are important for my visual experiencing and creating. The lessons learned in painting influence my photographically expression. In all of it my tendency is to be found to accentuate the positive.

Acknowledgments
I would like to thank the different teachers of many courses, who helped me to widen my creative horizons with the
broad spectrum of there personalities and there special technical knowledge.
During the last years I participated in intensive workshops with experienced professional photographers as Bruce Barnbaum, Alexander
Ehalt and Boris Eldagsen and thereby gained important impulses concerning themes, artistic design and creativity in my photographic
works.
