Profile

After training as a photographer, I started my first jobs in the editorial sector.

A few years later and having passed a master's examination at the Hamburg Academy of Photography, I began studying photo engineering in Cologne. However, the basic studies were enough for me to realize that I would not become an engineer.

So I swapped my university education for a job as a photography instructor at the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences. I also completed a one-year journalistic training course and then moved into the art buying and editorial department.

Since then, I have been involved in the development of many magazines and the communication strategy of various brands and players. In addition to working as head of art buying at large design and communications agencies, I also worked as a freelance photo and text editor for print media, film productions and tv stations, as well as doing public relations work for NGOs and associations.

Some of my positions:

Head of a photo agency (ImageBank Berlin)
Photo Book Author (Reporters Without Borders)
Representative (Ostkreuz photography agency)
Picture Editor (Zeit Wissen, Monopol, Beef, Madame)
Editor for program communication (Sat1, Brainpool)
Head of Art Buying (Mutabor, Media Consulta)
