Pro Type: Photographer

Hi, I'm a photographer based in Los Angeles.

With over 25 years of experience in the photo industry, I have an extraordinary understanding of lighting, outstanding interpersonal skills, and am well-versed in handling high-profile talent. I carry a deep knowledge of the processes of photo production - all paired with a remarkable sense of team spirit and the drive to advance upcoming talent in the industry. I thrive being a visible role model for the next generation of photographers.
I am steadfast and exude calm in the face of time restraints and pressure, working with tight-knit and knowledgeable crews in every production hub around the globe. A German and Swiss national who has called four different countries across three continents my home, I am efficient, timely, respectful, light-hearted, and multilingual. I bring integrity and an understanding of cultural sensitivities to each shoot.

My work has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, National Geographic, Smithsonian Magazine, CNN, Die Zeit, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Harvard Business Review, Village Voice, Rhapsody Magazine, Sunday Times Style, Money Magazine, SWISS Magazine, Lufthansa Woman’s World, FIFA 1904, Der Spiegel, Handelszeitung, Bilanz, among others.
