About this artwork
Lake Chiemsee probably knows my soul like no other place. I've taken countless pictures of it, and I've spent a lot of time on its shores. I've captured all sorts of moods there, at all different times of day. I've cried there, laughed there, been angry there, asked myself questions, and often simply felt nothing. But every time I left Lake Chiemsee, I felt good.
Reflection shows a scene at Lake Chiemsee as it appears during the day; in October… and November, just before winter sets in, the lake becomes quiet. At this time, images often emerge that are calm and simple, without stress, boats, or people.
I think carefully about what I want to photograph, and often no pictures are taken simply because it doesn't fit, because I want to enjoy it for myself.

I was born in Bad Muskau in 1979 and have been intensively involved with fine art photography since 2014. From 2015 onwards, I worked exclusively with analog cameras, and since 2020 I have combined analog and digital photography, primarily using medium format. My more than 20 years of professional experience in emergency medical services continue to shape my perception and photographic vision. The focus of my work is on landscape, light, tranquility, and atmosphere. My aim is not simply to document places, but to show how I perceive and experience them. My work has received international awards, including at the Monochrome Photography Awards and Fine Art Photography Awards. My work is held in the private collections of the Mandarin Oriental Savoy Zurich and the Hotel Schneider in Obertauern. For me, landscape is more than just landscape – it is a way to make personal experiences and emotions visible.
