Documentary Photographer and Editor based in Berlin. I have a great interest in how people live, what they think and feel. For me there is nothing's cooler than investigating foreign cultures and societies, and to photograph them. Myself I would describe as friendly and outgoing. Uncomplicated what demands for comfort and living conditions As principle. Very friendly and caring. :-)

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: http://www.lastfm.de/user/Mandrake315 Movies : I think Jim Jarmusch is one of my most favorite director. His movies are just awesome, including Night on Earth, Coffee and Cigarettes, Down by Law. Lately I was really impressed by all the movies of Alfred Hitchcock. Some other movies I love are: Pi - The Movie, Donnie Darko, Stay. There are many more. I generally enjoy mind-fuck movies. I love to discuss about movies and share my experiences. Books: Russian writers like Dostojevski or Turgenev, Truman Capote, Charles Bukowski, Max Frisch and a lot more.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Visiting a squat full of crazy artists in the center of Moscow. Traveling through the Pamir mountains in Tajikistan close to the border of Afghanistan and doing a reportage about life there. Discovering Kosovo on my own for three weeks and learning how the culture there works. I was in Thailand for five weeks documenting the remote life in the north. It was fascinating. I spent three weeks alone on Iceland. It was a great adventure and I enjoyed many gorgeous moments.
