_{I’m a portrait and documentary photographer based in Munich, Germany. My photographic work mainly deals with socially relevant topics and social issues. People in their environment and the question of identity are at the center of my work. Currently, my research focuses on the consequences of the transformation of post-socialist countries in Eastern Europe.}

_{Born in 1999, I studied photography at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich from 2017 to 2022. Since 2024, I have been attending the masterclass at the Ostkreuzschule in Berlin.}
