In his early career, Armin fulfilled his dream of portraying beautiful people in New York, Paris, and Vienna. During his time in New York, he frequented Andy Warhol’s Factory and got to know the city’s art scene in the 1980s. He is not only active in the fashion and art scene but also in the world of celebrity and names such as Roger Moore, Liz Tayler, Gunter Sachs, Andy Warhol and Peter Lindbergh are among them.
However, Armin’s passion for photography gradually shifted from the fashion and celebrity world to the natural world. In 1991, he traveled to Peru to shoot the documentary film “The Other Side of the Sun,” where he left the studio lighting behind to discover the natural beauty and wonder of the landscapes and indigenous people.
He always had a wanderlust and finds special powerspots intuitively. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku, or forest bathing, Armin believes that every path leads through the forest, and that time amongst trees is never wasted. His new project aims to portray nature’s magic and transform spaces by this into oases of contemplation.
