Born and raised in Vienna, I started photographing at the age of thirteen and my photography has always been shaped by the people around me. My friends have been a big source inspiration for me and working with them has allowed me to push the boundaries of my own comfort zone within a safe space.
Over the years, my style moved away from classic portraits to darker photography- more and more inspired by the underground and subcultures, both in Vienna and Berlin.
„Holding on“ came to life in the basement of my old apartment. Playing with light and shadow, as well as the line between something fragile and empowering, it is a collaborative project with my good friend Beka.
The process of creating this story was incredibly fun and intuitive, which is also why it is one of our favourites to this day.
