I was diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum when I was 15 years old. Society still dictates that diverging from the social norm is to be avoided at all costs, so I spent the next 12 years desperately building up the social skills that I thought were necessary to be liked as a person. …
I trully fell in love for the first time two years ago when I was 32. It’s been the most beautiful and traumatic experience of my life. We had a short relationship of 9 months. It was passionate and I was feeling happy and complete… but he was the one who made all decisions. That’s…

When I was 19 years old and living in Paris, I had become the epitome of a basic gay, I was cruel and bitchy and entertaining for others. I did this so as not be lonely. Everyone liked having me around, but didn’t particularly like me. I do not put blame on others for creating…
I would never forget the first time when I shot Marcel and Matthias, a couple living in Berlin who have been together for the longest of the time. It’s also my first time to visit Berlin solely for the purpose of meeting boys photographing them and collecting their stories. They live in the east side…
