Having a background in design and working with online media for many years, the step to take photos and to offer them through Microstock agencies was rather natural.
Please feel free to browse the list of websites mentioned below for my images or find a collection of my images underneath. In case you want to get involved into Stock Photography yourself, please find some
links at the bottom of this page that might help you getting started.
I hope you enjoy browsing my portfolio - maybe you find motives of interest for you. In that case it would be very kind of you if you´d inform me about the usage of my photos as it is of course very motivating for a photographer to see his images used elsewhere. In case you are interested in a special photo, please me.
My portfolio can be found on the following Stock Photography Websites:

Portfolio:
"Real life photography" vs. "shiny happy people" - in my daily work I discovered the need for authentic every day imagery that is sometimes hard to find, that is where I am aiming at with my spare time photography - hope you like the samples below. In order to protect my intellectual property, these previews are in rather poor quality - please click on the individual images to obtain a preview in better quality.
The most recent additions to my Portfolio can be found on my Facebook-Page - please like it and keep updated!
