Detroit - silent places
chemical lab
rubble
hanging
hallway

living room
ballroom
My work started with recovering and retaining parts of Detroit's past glory.
Over time, it has turned into a larger project of taking self-portraits in these ruins.
The empty shell was left abandoned, sometimes the presents of the past occupants
was still visible in left behind furniture, clothing and other items but the actual human
element was missing.
My self-portraits are part of self-discovery and therapy.
All prints are enlarged by myself in the traditional color darkroom.
Born in Germany moved to Metro Detroit in 2001.
Currently studying photography in Royal Oak, Michigan
For my earlier work, I was using a Yashica MAT 124G,
today I am using a Hasselblad 500CM.
