A beach is an unusual place between public and intimacy, between urban life and uncontrollable nature. In this photo series, I ask myself, how does this in between space affect us and how do we affect it?

I love discovering new perspectives and finding beauty in unexpected places. I think that capturing the connection I make with my subject allows me to create images that are both aesthetically pleasing and meaningful. This is a collection of portraits I have taken over the past year.

A few weeks ago I bought two lilies and photographed them every few days on my kitchen table. I captured the progression of the plant from bud to falling leaves. It was just beautiful to observe a plant so closely over several days.

For every pair of ‚good socks‘ sold, another pair is donated to those in need. My enthusiasm for the brand motivated me to contact Maria (the owner of ‘good socks’) via Instagram and offer my support. Finally, I realized the project during a spontaneous summer holiday photo session with friends.

Rita is a dancer and jewellery designer. In her work, she focuses on natural structures and mindfulness. I am very happy that I was asked to be the photographer for Rita’s first collection.
