“Born in 1985 in Tännesberg, Eastern Bavaria, near the German-Czech border, they grew up amidst the sparsely populated landscapes that have left an indelible mark since childhood. In 2004, a transformative year spent on the edge of the Alps in Benediktbeuern further fueled their connection to nature. Their academic journey in geography, commencing in Bonn in 2006, introduced them to the visual nuances of urban landscapes along the Rhine, enriching their ‘experienced environments.'”

“Landscape photography, for them, serves as a harmonious intersection between geography as the science of space and the aesthetic perception of natural spaces through the lens. Their mission is to unveil the concealed beauty within everyday landscapes, encompassing both intimate scenes and grand vistas that, upon closer inspection, reveal traces of human activity. The fusion of natural and cultural landscapes, particularly evident in Central Europe, captures the direct and indirect impact of human influence on the environment, reflecting the dual forces of climate change and the escalating pressures from mass tourism.”
