Long-form work
Documentary Projects
Documentary work is built on repeated visits and deep observation. Rather than chasing single images, these projects unfold over months or years — following a subject through seasons, behaviours, and change. The result is a body of work that tells a fuller story than any single frame can.
Natura 2000 Field Observation
Weekly exploration and observation of protected Natura 2000 areas near Bad Soden-Salmünster, focusing on plants, wildlife, seasonal change, and the quiet details of the natural landscape. This ongoing work documents how the area changes throughout the year — from small signs of plant growth to bird activity, animal tracks, weather patterns, and the relationship between habitat and wildlife.
Documented as a personal hobby 2014–2025. Professional study from 2025 onwards. · Natura 2000 Areas — FFH Area: 5722 304 · Bird Protection Area: 5722 401
Hirschbornteiche Beaver Project
The Hirschbornteiche project near Bad Soden-Salmünster documents the return and impact of active beavers in small waterways. Through long-term field observation and photography, the project follows how beaver activity changes the landscape — slowing water, creating new habitat, and reshaping the quiet spaces between forest, ponds, and walking paths. A key part of the project is the relationship between wildlife and daily human use. The area is not untouched wilderness. It is a shared landscape where people walk, hike, picnic, and play with their dogs. This project looks at that balance with patience and respect, showing how wildlife can live close to us when given space, awareness, and careful observation.

River Systems — Life Along the Kinzig
An ongoing long-form project documenting the ecology of the Kinzig river — from its source to its entry into the Main river. The project follows the wildlife, habitats, and seasonal rhythms of this Central European waterway, exploring the relationship between the river, its banks, and the species that depend on both.
My approach
Observation without interference
Every documentary project starts with time — time spent learning a location, understanding animal behaviour, and building the patience to wait for the right moment. I never bait, call, or disturb subjects. The work is built on presence, not intervention.
