At first, photography for Christian was just an excuse to escape the library while he was earning his master's degree in philosophy and media studies at the University of Cologne. However, being a passionate traveler, he increasingly enjoyed how looking at the world through a lens brought details into his sight that otherwise would have been overlooked: A real sense of discovery. He has pursued photography both personally and professionally ever since.  

Both in documentary and commercial photography, Christian is always looking for that spark of authenticity that makes his images human and relatable.

He is currently based in Berlin and Capetown. Since 2016, UPFRONT photo & film has represented him.
