Documentary photography is the photo-graphy of life. In images it affects social affairs, describes all day reality and deals about things which are vanishing. It is the art to capture this reality, those moments, situations and expressions in one single or combination of all saying photographic images. Therein lies my fascination and great love for it. Documentary photography is a challenge, because there are so many things which are out of your control. Unlike in a studio the scenery, the people, the happening and the light aren't yours. You cannot direct it, it’s just there and it just happens. It’s up to you to be there, to see it and seize the moment in which everything fits together. For that you have to be patient and sometimes it just doesn't happen.
