From Photography to Music

At 9, I discovered my passion for images. At 40+, I discovered a new love: music.

More Than 30 Years Behind the Camera

Since 1987, when I won the Sarotti Photo Competition, photography has been my life. I have:

• Photographed thousands of people
• Captured countless events
• Worked in London, Paris, and Munich
• Created documentations about homelessness and humanitarian missions

Every image tells a story. Every portrait captures a moment, an emotion.

The Connection Between Image and Sound

One day I realized: Music and photography are siblings.

Both share:

• Composition: The arrangement of elements in space (photography) or time (music)
• Rhythm: The visual flow in an image, the beat in a song
• Emotion: The ultimate goal is to convey feelings
• Storytelling: Every work tells a story

The Leap into the Unknown

After decades of expertise in one field, it was initially scary to be a beginner again. But that's exactly what made it so exciting!

What I Learned:

1. Creativity knows no bounds: The ability to tell stories is transferable
2. Technique is learnable: Just like cameras, you can master instruments and software
3. Experience is valuable: My years as an artist helped me learn faster
4. It's never too late: A new chapter can begin at any age

The Future

I'm not stopping photography – it is and always will be a part of me. But now I have an additional dimension to express my creativity.

Perhaps I'll soon combine both worlds in multimedia projects. Who knows?

The creative journey continues – and I'm excited to see where it leads.
