After finishing my 3 years apprenticeship as a photographer in 1973 I was working as a fashion and advertising photographer.
In 1979 I made the master degree in photography and started to work as a tutor in the Photo Department of a vocational training school in Germany, which I left after 30 years.

In 2012 my partner Sally Maguire and I established the ARTMOSPHERE GALLERY in Waipawa (Central Hawkes Bay) and we ran it till we sold the house and the business in 2021.

​

The main part of my private work was always B&W photography and there in special B&W Infrared  Photography. Since three decades I work with my 6x17cm Technorama cameras and take my landscape photographs worldwide. 

I still work on film and develop my negatives and my silver gelatine prints by myself.
Meanwhile I published many books and calendars and part of my work goes to galleries or collectors all over the world.
