As a photographer and writer I have learnt that people open up and trust me because I treat their culture with respect and curiosity. Wether I take part in a chieftancy ceremony in a slum in Accra or wether my bavarian neighbours introduce me to their traditions - I don’t judge, both are equally important to me. 

I live in Munich, Bavaria and accept assignments worldwide, be it as a writer or photographer or both.

I'm thrilled to have won 2nd place in the Sports category of the prestigious Sony World Photography Award with my Bavarian Fingerhaklers. This year, around 400,000 photographers from all over the world entered their work in various categories of the competition.

I feel very honoured that Amy Toensing has chosen my work for the short list of the life-framer competition “humans” 2024.
