One photographer, four specialised brands — a direct line instead of an agency apparatus.

I have photographed architecture independently since 2010 — because built quality deserves a visual language that takes it seriously.

My studio sits in Munich's Isarvorstadt, in the Glockenbach district. From here I work for architecture firms, developers, project leaders, interior designers, and furniture and lighting manufacturers — in Munich, across Bavaria, the DACH region, and internationally.

The path here wasn't a straight line: a fascination for lines, light, and proportion turned, over the years, into a deliberately narrow specialisation. Rather than a little of everything, I do one thing with full commitment — architecture, interior, and real estate.

As a photographer (professional title awarded in Germany, registered with the Chamber of Crafts for Munich and Upper Bavaria) and holding the EU drone licence A1/A3 and A2, I cover the full range of a project — from detail to aerial — technically clean and legally sound.

Three convictions behind every frame.

/ 01

Precision first

Converging lines are corrected at capture, not bent afterwards. Tilt-shift optics and care on site are the foundation of every image.

/ 02

Light, not effect

Daylight and set artificial light are mixed into an honest mood. No overstatement — the architecture should stay recognisable, not the filter.

/ 03

Respect for the design

A good architectural image serves the planner's idea. I photograph what was intended — for jury, editor, and client alike.

One photographer, four specialisations.

Instead of a do-everything agency, I run four independent brands — each with its own focus. This site stands for architecture, interior, and real estate.
