“To be able to take photographs of people the way they are, you have to earn their trust:”

I was allowed to accompany the two extreme sportsmen Wolfgang Kulow and Stefan Schlett across the Takla Makan dessert. Already that was for me an act of faith. Along the northern and southern silk road of the province Xinjiang I met mostly very pleasant Uyghurs…
On many travels like this I van get myself an idea of, how varied and fascinating life is. That’s what I hope to be able to convey with my photography.


„Um Menschen fotografieren zu können, muss man ihnen Vertrauen schenken.“

Ich durfte die beiden Extremsportler Wolfgang Kulow und Stefan Schlett quer durch die Takla Makan Wüste begleiten. Schon dass war ein Vertauensbeweis für mich. Entlang der nördlichen und der südliche Seidenstraße traf ich dann in der Provinz Xinjiang die meist sehr liebenswürdigen Uiguren…
Auf vielen Reisen wie dieser kann ich mir ein Bild machen, wie vielfältig und spannend das Leben ist. Das hoffe ich mit meiner Photographie weitergeben zu können.
