On the Way
Travels to the East


Since 1995, I have been making journeys from Vienna through Eastern Europe, ranging as far off as Russia. Just setting out, curiosity in hand, to discover these countries from the road was pretty much exactly my ideal concept of travel, as well as of photography. Following my finger on the map—after having done thorough research—and just letting things happen. In these works, people are the center of my field of view—fleeting little moments allowing that which is innately human to briefly shine through. These travels brought forth two books, one on Ukraine and one on Albania.
