Hello fellow artists!

I'm a type 2 and an enthusiastic photographer. Over the last couple of years I have specialized in industrial and decay photography, shooting abandoned factories, hospitals, hotels, ghost towns and the general battle between human structures and nature.

My latest so far biggest project was a photo tour through the Chernobyl "zone of exclusion" in the Ukraine, which 23 years ago witnessed the biggest nuclear catastrophe in history. The zone is highly contaminated and won't be inhabitable for hundreds of years.

Funny enough, we were two diabetics in the zone - my photo partner, who came along, is a long-time type 1. We spent 2 days in the zone, and I have collected our experiences along with 450 pictures and 7 videos in an extensive "Chernobyl Journal". Check it out if you're interested!
