Death of peatland

All over the world the peatlands that have formed over thousands of years are mined to gain peat. The pictures show the consequences of this mining in a peatland in north-west Germany.

All photographs were taken analog, prints are handmade on silver-gelatine baryt paper.

I've been taking analog photos since I was 16 - mostly black and white and with my own lab right from the start.

The focus of my work is the representation of the abstract - often from nature - the focus on forms and structures that the eye and thoughts can glide along.

It's often the small details that have a big impact.

In addition, there are aesthetically attractive landscapes and cityscapes.
