THE MAN WITH THE CAM(S)
Neither studying politics and history nor a traineeship making him a radio reporter avoided his turn to photography. For more than 25 years he’s taking pictures on breaking news, sports, conflicts and local stories.
Starting as a freelancer for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung he’s working as a Reuters Staff Photographer since 1998. Meanwhile the man who always considered photography as a “professional hobby” is one of the most awarded photo journalist worldwide.
