Welcome to my ecomedia journalist’s website. Great to have you here.
Trying to encourage by listening, writing and photgraphing…
I am a free lance reporter and photographer for printed media and public radio broadcasting stations. During my reporting travels I am trying to understand realities of all kinds of people all over Europe and neighboring countries.
From these impressions I am forming my articles, photo- and radio reports. My idea behind is encouraging and empowering people in difficult situations through good examples given by those I report on.
These may be young unemployed, who create their own jobs and future by building a hanseatic ship like in the middle ages in an economically ambandoned area of Eastern Germany, a Tunesian human rights activist, who risks her life to improve the living conditions of her fellow citizens or Israeli heart surgeons who save Palestinian children’s lives without being payed for their work.
There are so many „heroes of daily life“ ignored by the mass media. So, there’s more than enough left for me to do ….
My reports and photographs are published amongst others in the German daily taz, the Swiss travel magazine Globetrotter, Austria’s „Die Presse“ in travel guidebooks, in public radio such as WDR, NDR, Deutschlandfunk, on websites like schwarzaufweiss.de. I am working in German, French and English language.
You also can book me as your as a tour guide, trainer and presentor
