Dear Visitor, Welcome to (bits and pieces) of my (on-line) portfolio.

Due to redesigning and moving some files, most galleries do not work at the moment. Please visit again shortly to enjoy all galleries on this site.

I have attended art school for a year where I studied Fashion Design. I learnt a lot and had a great time but I found out that I wanted to also develop my analytical skills and decided to quit and attend university instead. That meant the end of being occupied day in day out with art, but did not mean the end of creativity for me. In my spare time I have tried to be creative as much as I can and this has resulted in more fashion design and especially sketches and photography. I am not that active at the moment since I am very busy with my profession but check back every now and then to find some new things.

I like to design costumes, especially costumes inspired by historical attire and lingerie. I love to design and make corsets as well as Victorian costumes. I have many new ideas involving a mixture of different materials and techniques and hope to be able to put these to life some day.

Regarding photography, I like UrbEx (urban exploring) as well as photographing visitors of festivals. It's great to see how much effort some people put in their costume and looks and I like to capture this on film. Not only in order to share these with others but also as inspiration to my own creations.

I would also like to do more portraits/band photography so please contact me if you're interested.
