I started as a general photographer with a personal passion for fireworks. After some time I recognized how much these two things have in common. Both are pieces of art based on technical know-how, experience and great imagination.
In my opinion it is necessary to look at fireworks from a photographer’s and a pyrotechnician’s perspective at the same time in order to achieve the best photographs.
I am familiar with e. g. cue lists, digital firing systems and Italian stutatas and have actively taken part in the set-up of various fireworks in Germany, Italy and Spain.
A festival of fireworks on a glacier, the opening of a hotel in Dubai or New Year’s Eve in Sydney are only some of the international events I have worked at as a photographer and filmmaker.
