About Me

From photojournalism to event photography—the pace has remained the same.

An Austrian startup hired me to photograph its event in Hamburg. The photos appeared in Forbes and international media—shortly thereafter, the company closed a $23.6 million funding round.
The European Wood-Based Materials Symposium has been using my photos for over ten years for invitations and announcements of its next event—and the event keeps growing every year.
A LinkedIn post following a corporate event received 105 likes. These aren’t exceptions. That’s the goal of every assignment.

Photojournalism was my school of photography. Soccer in the rain, the red carpet, press conferences, the Pope at the stadium. No assistant, no second chances, no room for error. Entire newspaper pages depended on my photos.
I bring this mindset to every corporate event: I don’t wait until everything is perfect—I recognize the moment as it unfolds.
At 1.90 meters tall, I’m never really invisible at an event. But my clients still quickly forget that I’m there. That’s on purpose.
I grew up in the Eifel region and have called Hamburg home for almost 20 years.
The fact that my name means “light” in Latin—perhaps that wasn’t a coincidence. I usually shoot alone, speak English and French, and, just in case, have a network of colleagues whom I know personally and would recommend without hesitation.

The right dress code is simply part of it, because it gives the event its framework. Let's discuss before the event.

Instant pictures during the event? No problem. For social media or for sharing with the press. Directly on site.

The equipment is important for my work, of course. Besides cameras, lenses and many memory cards, eyes and instinct are my most valuable tools.

My photo archive is online around the clock and double backed up. In case the link to the online gallery is in the wrong mailbox and images are needed quickly.

Built in '82 and with over 20 years experience photographing events large and small.

Hamburg may be my (adopted) home, but I feel at home in the world. I speak fluent English, French and even Luxembourgish.

What could be more personal than a photo of your guests printed out at the event directly to take home? With your logo, motto and advertising message?

With my modern photo printers, this can be done in seconds.
