After spending a lot of time in the darkroom with my father as a child, photography later took a back seat for a long time. Photography has been an important part of my life for many years now. As a mechanical engineer, my photographic focus is on structures, geometric shapes and textures, which I primarily find in architecture. Strict, orderly, possibly symmetrical image composition and narrow, sometimes abstract image cuts should emphasize what defines the object. The strong contrasts created by light and shadow are intended to show the viewer the structures, geometric figures, patterns and rhythms. I usually take photos in black and white because it gives me a feeling for whether and how a subject looks.
