Dhaka, Bangladesh

The first five years of my life, I grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh. While I don't remember much, it has left a big impact on my creative approach and senses.

My father is to date my biggest role model. He worked for the German Embassy, that is why we lived from country to country every four to five year. I am aware, that my life is unique and not only did I get to experience the differences in cultures, I grew up in extremely different cultures coming from two different backgrounds.

While my mother was in Kyoto, my father took a trip within Bangladesh and made these amazing photographs of buildings, people and the landscape.

"While Bangladesh is known for it's exploitation of garment workers, I hope to shine a different light to it's beautiful country."

These are all analog photogprahs taken by my father, around 1987.
