The Westfjords are undoubtedly one of best-kept secrets of Iceland. The remoteness and sparse population have preserved the unspoiled nature of the Westfjords and the Icelandic folk culture. Although tourism has left its negative as well as positive marks in recent years, I have seen many abandoned farms along the way as a sign that economic survival can be very difficult for farmers here. Many have therefore moved away because they could not continue to run their farms and jobs in the fishing industry have declined sharply in recent decades.

Iceland is infinite landscapes undisturbed by modern infrastructure on the one hand and intimate details on the other. This series of pictures plays with near and far.

Hardly any other Italian city is as full of life and atmosphere as Naples. People are helpful, lovable and always ready for a little chat.

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.

Some years ago Vietnam was considered an insider tip for travelers. Today some areas of this country are already flooded with tourists. In spite of its enormous growth in the last years the country has kept its character. And yet I have never been in a country before that made the "price for growth" so visible.

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.

The project StadtGrüsse Lisbon is an attempt to paraphrase the typical pattern of traditional postcards while creating a new category reflecting the atmosphere of the vibrant city of Lisbon.

The series "StrandSand" depict micro landscapes that I found on the beaches pf Vietnam. But it could have been everywhere. I was fascinated by the landscape-like structures formed by waves, small watercourses and the wind. The pictures were transformed into black and white and colored with duplex to give all subjects a common colorfulness.
