Hi, How can I help you?

about ME

in·spi·ra·tion

/ˌɪnspɪˈreɪʃn/

the process of being mentally stimulated

to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.

Hey I'm Chris, born in Bavaria, south of Germany and a former head chef turned traveling photographer for a while, now on starting a new journey into photojournalism. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably found my work somewhere, on Instagram, YouTube, or my website. I stoped put content behind paywalls. Everything I share here, like photos, thoughts, and stories is free to access, because in the first I want my stories to be read and thoughts should be shared, not monetized.

This page is just a creative corner of the internet where you can follow along more closely, support me if you feel like it, and maybe send a virtual coffee if you want.

For more information about me feel free to enter this pages here. 

And If you’re interested in my career as chef visit this page 

That’s it… almost.

What I do have, is a print shop and an archive where you can find stories and images about my work, you should definitely visit.

Thanks for reading and nice that you're here.
