Those who will dance for the "Havana Queens" on stage are part of the best of the best. At their castings only the most talented dancers of the cuban island will compete against each other. They are all professionals and training for one thing only: to be chosen. The stage show is about such a casting, focusing on the young dancer called Coco, attracting the attention of everybody. The dancers tell the story of love, competition and their common goals - all at once. Coco and the group are diving in various cuban environments just in order to achieve clarity about their feelings.

I have started with black & white photography only recently. Especially when it comes to portraits I am fascinated by the enormous emotional potential it shows.

In January 2015 we had the chance to travel around India for nearly one month. During this trip we met great people, most of them having a hard life and yet being open minded and extremely welcoming. I took the opportunity of those special moments to photograph some of these great personalities. A small exclusive selection you'll find now on this portfolio site.

Abdullah Ibrahim offered me the unique opportunity to photograph him during his rehearsal and concert in the Horgen church. During his performance I was the only photographer but he did not want me to leave my seat nor to make any movement in order not to disturb his concentration.
