Born in East Berlin, growing up in Sussex, my first years were spent behind the iron curtain. I now live in Brooklyn and travel extensively.
In my portraiture my goal is to show the beauty, grace, strength and enthusiasm of people. My recent focus has been on photographing environmentalists, explorers, scientists and those pushing humanity forward.
My work places people in exaggerated situations that highlight an aspect of who they are. I look for a sense of defiance and fortitude in my work.
