Cominciò come garzone in una tipografia, finché, dopo la guerra, riuscì a mettersi in proprio aprendo la “Tipografia Marchigiana”, che fino alla fine della sua vita fu la sua principale attività di sostentamento.

He studied literature at the University of Heidelberg and returned to Hamburg in 1924 to work as a trainee in his father's coffee importing business, la List & Heineken. He became a businessman and then a solicitor; it was during one of his many business trips that he discovered his passion for photography, as a hobby with no artistic intention.
