Follow the waves of energy through the ocean into the sky and back into the sea. The underwater world isn't only full of strange creatures but offers lots of colours, patterns and shapes which are captivating in itself. I love subjects, often overlooked by underwater photographers on the search for special creatures. The protected and thriving reefs around Wakatobi (Indonesia) were perfect to develop this series. One sentence, created as titles for the single pictures of the series, at the same time, shows the level of interconnection of the photographs and beyond: Going like waves - through the ocean - the frequency of particles - and light vibrates - through space and time - to allow the improbable - in our universe.

Photography fascinated me already early on in life, to be able to document as well to stage or to spin stories around a picture. Travelling opened up new horizons and inspired my photography, especially nature, but also human traces therein, as well as my studies of Geography, Management of Environment and Politics. When I started diving it felt like a whole new universe, another dimension suddenly revealed itself. So much to discover! I needed time to perfect my diving skills, to study the underwater realm and to save up for photo equipment to allow me to share this weird and wonderful world with others. After all: We protect what we understand and love – be it in or outside the ocean.
Only recently I started to have the courage to present my vision to others, like on our own website and social media. Devocean Pictures is a joint project which combines videos, photos and blog entries to share our passion for nature and conservation. "Our actions affect others, affect the world."
