About

Want to know more about myself?

I was born in Germany and a few years down the track I studied interior design for 4.5 years. Photography was one of the minor subjects. Having access to the studio and photo lab of the university, there was the opportunity to experiment with medium format, flash and light.

In 2001 I took on a full time job as graphic designer and art director in a major advertising agency in Munich/Germany and there was very little time for photography at all. After three and a half years I left my job to travel around Australia.

Now I live on the North West Cape in Western Australia, with the Ningaloo Reef at my doorstep. Having a passion for diving made it quite apparent that I had to capture underwater images as well.

aabz-imaging was found in May 2007, with a postcard series about Ningaloo Reef. Framed artwork is currently on display at several locations in Exmouth and can be purchased through the Exmouth Visitor Centre. A luxurious holiday home in Exmouth is displaying my images in a private gallery which can be visited by appointment.

I shoot with 21.1 mega pixel full frame digital SLR cameras on land and underwater accompanied with highest quality lenses.

My fully mobile studio setup enables me to shoot at almost any location. I also have a very small studio where I can carry out product shoots or general portrait photography. I am available for contract work in the commercial, industrial or private sectors. Please contact me with any queries.
