Who am I?
This is me, back in 2010, a German Kid that was born and raised next to the beaches of Barcelonas surroundings.
Growing up, having the Sea as my neighbour opened up a whole world of Surfing, Kitesurfing, Bodyboarding, Skimboarding and whatever other water sport you could imagine.
Having the luck of my parents documenting our lives via Photos, I was both able to improve in my hobbies quickly, and at the same time boost my knowledge for Photography.
That's when I bought my very first (second hand) GoPro, not just to record my adventures without having to rely on someone else shooting me, but to capture the essence of what I was experiencing.
This marked the beginning of my deep dive into photography and action-sports videography.
It's when my current YouTube account was born, a starting point for my obsession with crafting the most creative content and expressing the true meaning of my hobbies.
My fascination with photography took a leap when I stumbled upon the work of wave photographer Clark Little.
Inspired, I started taking photos beyond just action shots of myself. Waves and the surrounding nature became my subjects, and each click of the camera felt like freezing a piece of the magic I found in those moments.
From the sandy shores of Barcelona to the dance of waves, my life became intertwined with the art of capturing these simple yet profound moments. It's not just about sports, it's a visual story of the beauty I see in the waves and nature that have become an integral part of who I am.
Why do I shoot photos for others now?
The Idea originated after a surftrip to Bali in 2017 with two of my best friends, specifically on a day with the best waves I have ever ridden.
One Wave that I took was, until today, the largest tube I’ve ever been in. I sadly did not make it out and that resulted in a broken board.
As I left the water with a big frown on my face, a local photographer came up to me and told me he got that wave on Camera and if was interested in buying it.
I was thrilled! Without him, I would have never had a permanent image to keep of that wave, being my last wave on that board, on an unforgettable trip.
Realising how fortunate I was, not only for that situation, but in my entire childhood, to always have someone recording/shooting me, and lately dedicating more time to photography, I found a lot of joy providing this opportunity to those who may not have someone to do the same for them.
Especially the ones recently getting into these sports, and still learning with every session, are often overlooked, and it fills me with immense happiness to offer everyone the chance to enhance their skills and share their experiences with friends and family.
I hope I can bring the joy of having visuals to keep, for those memories you don’t want to ever forget, to as many people as I can.
