My Leica forces me to face my biggest weakness:
Getting out of my thoughts to live fully in the moment.
Honestly, I am blessed to do what I do for my living: Photography. Having a camera in my hands means that I’m constantly observing my enviroment. What is nature doing? What are the people like that cross my way? How is the light falling on a bottle of wine or a plate with food? What are my feelings telling me? How do people interpretate their work, passion or atitude? My task is to catch those small moments that no one saw before and that no one will ever be able to see and catch again. It forces me to stay awake with all my senses in exactly that one moment. Feeling this happiness during photography shows me that I’m on the right path that is already prepared for me and I want to dive deeper into my passion to catch even more meaningful moments, without any compromise.
I feel relieved during the time I’m having my camera in my hands.

Background
After studying international wine business in Geisenheim and doing my MBA in marketing and management in Bordeaux and London, I worked as a wine merchant. Through travelling in Europe to collaborate with wine estates and spending my holidays in all over the world, I realized that I’m more drawn into the creative world than into the world of pure trading after 3 years. This experience however still helps me today. Not only knowing how to produce a wine but also having a huge knowledge about the wine industry helps me a lot to understand wineries and to see the important moments during a shoot.
But I’m not limiting myself in “only” doing photography or videography. My creativity goes way beyond that by also helping brands in their general communication. I like being challenged by problems and to invent new ways to make a brand pop out fo the crowd. Together with the amazing team of Yummy Stories I love to bring in my skills as a creative consultant with a deep understanding of the world of wine to the team.
