Originating from Germany, I moved to Bemidji in northern Minnesota/USA in 2007. I taught photography and photojournalism at Bemidji State University and freelanced for Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) News and other regional clients. In 2023, I moved back to Erfurt/Germany with my husband.

In my photography I focus on people in their environment as well as people’s impact on the environment. I want to tell stories that indicate our bonds to the past but that may also let us reflect about today and the time beyond tomorrow.

I am also passionate about dance, which is about other, creatively imagined environments. Capturing briefly-appearing moments before they are gone is what I am seeking for.
