Long story short

by

Paris is the city of love and New York never sleeps, but Barcelona has, for me, become the city of lust. Lust and an insatiable desire to create and express myself. I’ve always been a storyteller, and starting my career in photojournalism, it became the essence of my work: to tell a tale with a single image. Be it portraits or editorials, in the right frame, I find the most beautiful film stills that invite the viewer to imagine the rest of the story.

Using a spontaneous, natural lighting approach, I realised that the city offers a backdrop or a location for every story I could ever hope to tell. Different streets can transform into different worlds. The Gothic Quarter can be the scene of a horror story. The beach can be a desert. And Barcelona itself is like a dramatic fairy tale. The inspiration for stories is endless—all you need is the right angle.

Barcelona has also given me a greater appreciation of architecture, in all its forms. In fact, alongside my standard repertoire, my photography explores the more technical aspects of architecture and design.

I live and work in Barcelona and Vienna, and am currently working on a few exhibitions.
