A photographer in Germany who speaks your language
I have photographed people, companies and events for more than fifteen years. My studio is in Dresden, which puts me an hour from Leipzig and two from Berlin, and within reach of the semiconductor and manufacturing sites across Saxony.
A good share of my work is for international companies and agencies. Shoots run in English, briefings and licence terms are agreed in writing, and you deal with the person actually holding the camera rather than a booking desk.
What I am after is the moment a picture says the thing words cannot: character, atmosphere, the look someone gives when they forget the camera is there.

Services
Executive & business portraits
Consistent portraits for boards, leadership teams and whole departments. For LinkedIn, annual reports, investor material and the press.
Employer branding
Pictures that show what it is actually like to work somewhere. For career pages, job adverts and recruitment campaigns that need to convince real candidates.
Corporate reportage
Sites, processes and products documented as reportage, so the whole visual identity holds together across every channel.
Events & conferences
Keynotes, panels, trade fairs, galas and product launches. A first edit within 48 hours, or the same evening when the press office is waiting.
Advertising & campaigns
Concept through to final frame for print, digital and social. Lifestyle, sport and product work for brands including Adidas, Nike and ON Running.
Photo & video together
Stills and moving image from one production, so the two share a look rather than arriving from two different worlds.
Corporate photography
For international companies with a site in Saxony, the practical problem is usually the same: you need consistent, high-quality images across locations, and you need someone local who can turn up at short notice. That is the part I am built for.

Common questions
Yes. A good part of my work is for international teams and agencies, and shoots run in English as a matter of course. Briefings, on-set direction and delivery notes all work the same way in either language.
My studio is in Dresden, Saxony. I work regularly in Leipzig and Berlin, and travel across Germany and Europe for assignments. For Dresden and the wider Saxony region there is normally no travel surcharge.
It depends on the scope: a single executive portrait is costed differently from a full-day team session or a multi-day campaign. You get a clear quote with no hidden extras, and the first conversation is free.
Edited images are with you within five to seven working days. For events I usually send a first selection within 48 hours, and same-evening delivery is possible when the press office needs it.
You receive the usage rights your project needs, agreed in writing before the shoot. Scope, territory and duration are set out in the quote, so nothing is left open once the images are in use.
Yes. Around thirty people per day is comfortable, with several variations each. I set up discreetly in a meeting room or reception area so the working day carries on around us.
