my story

I was born in wonderful Südtirol, Italy, in the middle of the mountains. In 1996 I decided to come to Vienna for my sociology studies. After working as a lecturer and scientific researcher at the main university of Vienna for a few years I started getting passionate about photographing and completed a 3 year photography school. I was always a visual person and finally I could live my true passion. What a great change becoming a professional photographer. Photography brought me to Sri Lanka, where I had the great possibility to teach Sri Lankan youngsters. That was one of the best experiences in my life! Since 2006 I have my own business based in Vienna!
