Black & white portraits – of animals, places and myself.

I photograph animals the way I photograph people, buildings as personalities, and myself as a seeker in places around the world. Always reduced, always about the gaze. Limited editions of 12, printed on Hahnemühle fine art paper.

PHOTO OF THE MONTH NOVEMBER

Sometimes an image becomes something truly special – even to the photographer himself.

This sheep portrait has probably become my best-known photograph. It has received several international awards, including Gold at the International Photography Awards (IPA) and a Special Mention at the Chianciano Biennale in Italy. I have also exhibited it on numerous occasions.

I am fascinated by the combination of the almost limitless whiteness of the wool and the animal’s direct, calm gaze. The fine textures and subtle contrasts draw the viewer’s attention to what really matters. In this way, what began as a simple animal portrait becomes an image that seems to resonate with people in many different ways.

Animal Portraits

Animals, portrayed with the same attention as people. I reduce every image to gaze, expression and character, until the animal looks straight back at you.

Awards include Gold at the International Photography Awards 2025 (Sheep) and the Prix de la Photographie Paris 2025 (Tortoise).
