The conversion from order to chaos, from existence to extinction, serves as our means of perceiving change and distinguishing one moment from the other. Entropy is the key to this process. Absent entropy, the universe would exist in an immense, perpetual stillness, where never and forever are the same. Without entropy, time, at least for…
A new year, time for a new book. In the past I’ve annouced finished small edition handmade books. This time I’d like to try a different way. I will print and bind the edition according to demand, but likely no more than 30 copies. This handmade book will be an A4 sized Japanese stab bound…
‘At the Mountains of Madness’ is the title of a novel by H.P. Lovecraft. The intense atmosphere of this book has inspired me to name my new handmade photo book after it. The theme is mountain based and quite dark and moody, how could it not be thus? It’s an A5 sized 24 pages saddle-stitch…
I’m very honoured to have contributed to a very special photography tutorial book by German nature photographer Jana Mänz – ‘Naturfotografie natürlich anders’. The first edition of this book (‘Naturfotografie ganz anders’) was released in 2014 and Jana’s unique approach to nature photography gave me many ideas and much inspiration. This year it has been…

After my first photo zine ‘Silence’ I have self-published a small edition hand bound book called ‘Hidden Layers of Perception’ featuring 30 multiple exposure images. Details can be found on my Books > Publications page. A few copies are still available.
This summer, I created and self-published a photo zine based on my project ‘Silence’. I wrote about the experience on the newly added page Publications (under Books), where you can also have a look at the online version of the booklet. Euan Ross of Biblioscapes invited me for a discussion on his photo book podcast…
The visit to Dune de Dinat in May 2022 was not planned. It was a hunch, looking for another stop on the return journey from Spain to Germany. Another short stay at the Sea after driving through the dry and hot Spanish inland for a week. We camped in the middle of a gorgeous pine…
And now for something completely different. This series is based on one image that I had experimentally created some years ago. I liked the result a lot, but had not pursued the idea at the time. I picked the theme up again recently, and the images in the gallery Mirrormask are what happen when one…
