TJK widmete sich schon frühzeitig der Fotografie.

Was anfangs als Hobby begann, entwickelte sich durch seine zahlreichen Reisen und Auslandsaufenthalte zu einer umfassenden, akribischen Tätigkeit.

TJK ist nicht nur Weltreisender, sein Zuhause ist die Welt.

In über 80 Länder hat er seinen Fuß gesetzt. Immer wieder von der mannigfaltigen Architektur, Natur und den Menschen fasziniert, lässt sich TJK auf dieses Genre ein.

Seine Fotos erzählen Geschichten, in die der Betrachter versinken kann.

Die meisten Aufnahmen sind mit Nikon Kameras entstanden.
