Photographer, Retoucher

Through more than 10 years of dedication I have taught myself from scratch to only one goal: Being the best photographer I personally can. As a result, my passion, endurance and hard work have led me to a creative career in photography and retouching.

Being born and grown up in Germany, I finished my geography studies in Gdansk Poland. There, in 2015 I made a fresh start in the photographic branch as picture editor at Thomson Reuters’ global picture desk. Seeking for more photographic experience, I continued my professional work as studio assistant at the Polish fashion studio POPin in 2016, until I left Poland to establish my travel photography portfolio, while working part-time as tour guide for Nordic Gateway AS in Stavanger, Norway. In Stavanger, I created a visual outdoor story for the sports and outdoor brand Bolder, until I returned six months later to Gdansk, to work for almost 2 years as a retoucher at Quad Graphics, the biggest printing company in the US. In June 2018, I moved to Nuremberg, Germany grabbing the opportunity to work as a full-time photographer and Photoshop artist at Project Immobilien Wohnen AG.

On my way, I have already been published several times by National Geographic, was interviewed for and featured in Flickr’s spotlight, worked for multiple well-known clients, won numerous international photo contests, and served as a judge on Poland's national stage of the pan-European photo contest “Discover Europe”.
