The Anthropocene

This series of sceneries and portraits display the time we live in. Simply my take on this era of a plastic world, where humanity is drowning in trash, competing against technology, living in their own bubble, not being able to see the forest for the trees.
I'm pointing out some of the issues that made me do this projects although I think there is a lot of positives within these images. But I want you to find them yourself;)

Artist Biography

My live started in Filderstadt near by Stuttgart, Germany. Stuttgart has been my home turf and playing ground all my live. Very early I decided to be a filmmaker simply for the reason that I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else without getting depressed. I just had to create and it had to be film. Photography is something that I added later. After graduating from highschool I started my film career with a dokumentary job in Namibia Afrika. From there on I went to several film production companies like Bavaria, Markenfilm, Element E and others. Living for over a year in Hamburg.
During these years I saw everything from big commercial-, series- to feature film-productions. Being there in various functions and departements I was able to pic up a lot of knowledge from all these professional filmmakers. I was quickly given the chance to put hands on. With rising responsibility came a lot of confidence in my ability as a filmmaker.
To win some time for finding and trying myself creatively I startet a bachelors degree of arts at Merz Akademie back in Stuttgart. Besides my study I work as a freelance photographer and filmmaker having several indie film and photography projects that have been or still are realized. You will hear about it soon;)
