ON THE GO WITH A CAMERA AND A CLEAR VIEW.
My portfolio
In my portfolio, underwater worlds meet distant lands, cultures, and moments of closeness. I photograph what moves me – beneath the surface, on the move, and in the midst of life. Each image tells the story of a place, an encounter, or a moment that deserves to remain.

A paradise for adventurers, explorers and divers
In the heart of the Indonesian archipelago lies Komodo National Park – known for its legendary monitor lizards and one of the most impressive underwater worlds in the world. Divers here experience a spectacular natural experience between fast-flowing channels, colorful coral reefs, and encounters with large fish. Right next door is Flores – an untouched island with volcanic landscapes, dense jungles, and a deeply rooted culture.
Real diversity – above and below water
Whether encountering manta rays, sharks, and turtles or visiting traditional villages like Wae Rebo, the region offers intense impressions – visual, human, and cultural. Flores is rich in history and warmth, shaped by Christian and animist traditions. Everyday life is slower, the attitude to life is authentic, and the landscape is breathtaking.
Arrival & tips for the journey
The easiest route is via Bali or Jakarta to Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo. Diving is best done between April and November – with your own mask, experience, and respect for nature and culture. Always bring cash, mosquito repellent, reef-safe sunscreen, and a smile. The region takes care of everything else.
Island of the Gods
Bali combines many of the things that make Indonesia special: a vibrant spirituality, stunning natural beauty, and a tangible connection between people and their environment. The island is known for its temples, rice terraces, volcanoes, and the rhythm of everyday life—characterized by ceremonies, colors, and a deep sense of community. Those who arrive here immediately sense why Bali is more than just a vacation spot.
Diving between wrecks, reefs and giant manta rays
Bali's most beautiful dive sites, such as the wreck of the USAT Liberty, the underwater paradise of Menjangan Island, or the fish-rich cliffs of Nusa Penida, are just a stone's throw away. Experience the fascinating underwater world around Bali and dive into colorful coral gardens, manta rays, and exotic fish species.
Between volcanoes, gods and hospitality
Balinese culture is unique in Indonesia—characterized by Hindu Dharma, deep religiosity, and a strong family life. Volcanoes like Gunung Agung dominate the landscape, while the villages in the island's interior thrive on music, dance, and tradition. The people are open, warm, and proud of their heritage. And those who take the time will realize: In Bali, everyday life and spirituality are one and the same.
An archipelago like in a picture book
The Maldives consists of over 1,000 islands in the Indian Ocean. Between white sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons, and gently swaying palm trees, the world seems to stand still. Resorts offer understated luxury, a close connection to nature, and the feeling of being far away—and just right.
Diving with manta rays, sharks and turtles
The Maldives are among the best diving destinations in the world. Whether in channels, outer reefs, or protected lagoons – the visibility is clear and the biodiversity impressive. From large fish to macro fish, everything is there. Particularly popular are manta rays, reef sharks, turtles, Napoleon wrasse, and huge schools of fish.
Arrival & tips for the journey
International flights usually go via Malé, from where you can continue by seaplane or boat. Many centers offer good-quality rental equipment. Bringing your own mask, reef protection, and experience with currents is recommended – they can be strong. You'll be rewarded with a true island feeling.
History meets underwater world
Few countries combine culture and diving as seamlessly as Egypt. Between temples, markets, and desert, the Red Sea awaits with vibrant reefs, clear visibility, and pleasant temperatures. Beginners and advanced divers alike will find ideal conditions – year-round.
Dive spots with contrast and character
The cliffs of Ras Mohammed, the Elphinstone Reef, and the bays near Marsa Alam are well-known. Reefs teeming with life, easily accessible wrecks, and encounters with dolphins and turtles offer diversity in a small space. Visibility of over 20 meters is not uncommon.
Arrival & tips for the journey
Direct flights to Hurghada or Marsa Alam make getting there easy. The dive centers are experienced, and the procedures are routine. A thin wetsuit is almost always sufficient. Recommended: your own mask, logbook, and time for a trip to the shore – pyramids aren't just on postcards.
A country full of contrasts
New Zealand combines rugged coastlines, rainforests, glaciers, and volcanoes in a very small space. Between fjords, mountains, and green expanses, nature is revealed in its purest form. Māori culture, warm-hearted people, and a respectful approach to land and sea make traveling here special.
Diving outside the ordinary
The Poor Knights Islands are among the most famous diving spots in the country. Kelp forests, grottos, and steep walls characterize the underwater landscape. It's often cool, sometimes rough—but also surprisingly quiet and photographically exciting. Large shoals and bizarre shapes are included.
Arrival & tips for the journey
The journey is long – usually via Singapore or Dubai to Auckland. Diving safaris are rare, and local bases are well connected. A 7 mm wetsuit is standard, and gloves and a hood are recommended. And: Anyone who wants to experience New Zealand should travel slowly – and be open to genuine encounters.
