Over a year ago I had for the first contact with Jens Ritter, March 2013 we have made a photo documentary ​​during his work in his hometown Deidesheim. In June 2013 I made a series of photographs taken in New York, among others at Rudy’s Guitar Stop, Metropolitan Museum of Art and art connoisseur and collector Paul J Schupf.
The past few months I have made pictures of musicians who perform with the instruments of Jens.

During the exhibition “The Art of Electric Guitars”, three photos of me will be exhibited.
