A portrait is not just a portrait. I think one of the most important things about it is the interest in the subject. It's all about connecting to people and finding out things about them. I really love portraing peole as I am a genuinely curious person, especially about people I've never met or I barely know. It opens me up new points of views, another perspective. Christina also works as a photographer and we got closer portraing each other. This portait session took place at Yppenplatz in Vienna, one of my favorite spots in the city.   

"How does it taste what you eat in your country?" was the theme of the following photography serial taking place in Vienna. Four syrien woman were invitet to cook for austrian woman. And they create a wonderful menue full of warm aromas and interesting combinations!  Comissioned by an austrian magazine I met Bernadette on a hot summerevening in Vienna. In the backyard of her studio we arranged this little simple setting for the portrait session.
