I started photography around the age of 4, with a reusable single use camera type thing (it was red, still have the parts somewhere). I grew up around both my parents shooting film in a time when that was still normal. And we basically never switched to digital. (I didn't have a digital camera until I was already a grown man). I studied Arts, Latin, modern languages, science and horse riding in secundary school, all the while shooting film. For my university studies I chose to pursue mechanical engineering. My most recent degree being a masters from the University of Manchester. I worked as engineer in the design of laser systems, then became head of engineering at Adox fotowerke as well as being a founding member of Valoi in between things. Now I am working on a new project, called Jagglé, which is aimed at making cool products in for analogue photography. The first product we made is a daylight enlarger, aimed at making film photography analogue again, and lowering the threshold to starting in the world of darkroom printing.
