Mataboonga - Photography and Music Cook Islands

ARTIST I am born and raised in Germany. Studied Art and Photography in Mainz and Dresden. Worked many years as Art and Creative Director for internationals brands as Levis Strauss, BMW, American Express etc. I have learned the classic photographer education with analog and digital technology, as well as the development of photos in the darkroom, which is still my great passion today. 2014 I sold everything and followed my heart and moved to Rarotonga. Since 2015 Im working on projects with the United Nations, Unicef and establish my wedding photography. MY MISSION I‘m absolutely thrilled with the authentic, subtle and sophisticated documentary photography that tells the story of your day. I like to work in the background and still be there. So everybody has enough distance and nobody has to feel uncomfortable. For wedding couples who do not have so much experience in front of the camera, don't worry, I got you! For me as well as for you it should be a great experience and fun is the top priority. MY WAY OF WORKING I see myself as a unique storyteller in the style of documentary photography with a focus on unsurpassed authenticity. I'm not afraid to get close and be in the middle of it. I often become part of the wedding party and am often in close contact with the bridal couple and guests. My style of work is a mix of a documentary and artistic approach. In my shooting style, I give emphasis on authentic moments and emotions in an natural setting - accompanied I attach major importance to composition and aesthetics. It’s extremely important to me that you are captured in exactly that way you are like an individual, but in the most beautiful way.
