TITLE: „Searching for the Soul“

I like people. I like to watch people. I like to portrait people.
Each individual is different. Each individual is interesting to me. Each individual tells a story.
When I approach individuals I try to search for their story, their personal truth. Their soul.
Sometimes I even find it.
