Context: Growing up, I was surrounded by Nazi imagery, like everybody in Germany, and for a boy obsessed with photography it left an indelible impression on me.

Even today I love photographing by the light of street lamps or in the glare of my flash.
“Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.”
