Dinner Date
Sylvia, Mannheim, 2020Bathtubs are out of fashion in hotels in this country. Kind of dumb. But I found an old hotel that still had one.While Sylvia undressed, I quickly walked to the nearest pizzeria. I like stories that are a little crazy and Sylvia is the best anyway.
Lovesick
Anna, Riga, 2016Sometimes it is difficult and circumstances are adverse. In this apartment the toilet lid was missing and there had been a fire a week before. The door had been kicked in by the fire department and the landlord's phone was not working. He was smoking pot in the apartment and somehow I still managed to make Anna look adorable and sassy.
New Project Announcement
I am super excited to announce a new art project with Sylvia which I am currently working on. I need to find a proper location for it which is more difficult than I thought. But I hope to be able to find one soon. The project is bigger than usual and I plan to have it finished December, 1st 2023.
Print of the Month: May 2023
Bewitched Dreams, Marlen, Frankfurt, 2013Ten years ago, I was photographing with a Phase One Camera. This beast of gear was massive and I loved the sound of the shutter, but as it was so unhandy and had only three focus points (left, middle, right), it was my biggest misinvestment ever.I am happy, I found another camera system and switched to Sony in 2015.However, this shot of Marlen feels intense since today. I think I never shared this image be...
Blind Date
DominikaIt's one of the very few times I've managed to create a little story board, which really pans out and fits the title of the shoot.
Factory Settings
Anna, Frankfurt, 2021Anna looked super different from her model portfolio. Speaking about the hair down there, for example. But I actually prefer pubic hair in photography. What do you think about it?
Hop On, Hop Off
Ibiza at this time of year is a gamble. The clubs are just opening, the crazy English girls fly to the island and the weather does what it wants.This old Citroën Méhari is a super off-road vehicle, but otherwise really unsexy. Good thing I had Dianium with me.
Double Trouble
Chiara and Kitrysha, Milan, 2018Shooting with two models is twice as complicated, believe me. I was lucky that both Chiara and Kitrysha are extremely good models and they matched. I bought the same sets of underwear for them, because I thought this was a nice idea and the villa in Milan was amazing, too. Is this too soft pornish?
Erin, Frankfurt, 2022
While I like short hair, Erin had the opposite. Long natural hair. Very interesting, too. We tried experimental poses.
Bonus II: Coming Home
Saya, Frankfurt, 2012I promise, these are the last bonus photos to the series Coming Home. When looking in the archive again, all of the sudden, these popped out and seemed not so bad. Sometimes, it's difficult to make a selection and years later other photos are preferred.
Moon Landing
Sazze, Prague, 2016I never asked, but I assume, the model came up with her name because she often feels 'sassy'. What a fun woman to work with!
Hussy by Nature
Many years ago, Men's Health magazine had erotic guides in their issue and they specialized in straight men.
Blush
Katia, Portugal, 2016I absolutely loved to work in this villa with Katia. Not only did I book super large hotel rooms for us, also there were only two other guests in the hotel at that time. Only the boss of the hotel managed to stand behind me every time I was shooting in the public area of the hotel. I was so scared every time he suddenly turned up behind me.
Simon Says Love
Model: Avery (and Simon), Frankfurt, 2023This little yappy French bulldog comes along to the shoot and when I greet him, I ask for his name. The doggie's name is exactly the same as mine! Simon.At first he was a little suspicious because I was so close to his mistress. But after 5 minutes of barking he calmed down and slept (and snored) for two hours.In the end he was allowed to be in front of the camera. These pictures are just a small intro...
By popular demand
Christiane, Vienna, 2017I have a special connection with Christiane, because our first shoot in 2011 was very special. So, I had to photograph her again, when I came to Vienna.
Roseberries
Mary, Berlin, 2017The model wasn't drinking coffee, even though our shooting was early in the morning. She preferred to drink beer. These are the unusual things that you won't forget even a few years later. Mary is cool!
Hunted Down
Fox, Paris, 2021When the model's name is 'Fox' and as a photographer I shot her, isn't it obvious why the name of this series is 'Hunted Down'?
Coming in Hot
Katey, Vienna, 2015Sometimes there are models you wish you had photographed more often. Katey is one of them.
Pie in the Sky
Aleksa, Frankfurt, 2017The first model who brought her own electric heating on set. I am not saying this to make fun of her, it was just very unusual. She is a super professional model and I am a bit sad that I have only worked with her once.
Breathe Deeply
Rebecca, Fuerteventura, 2019I am a fan of catsuits, but using lingerie outdoors was something I wanted to try out again. Rebecca looks wild in this.
Hotel No Tell
Clara, Porto, 2017For me, this shoot was not planned. I wanted to go out to the beach but this did not work out the way I had planned it. In Portugal there were families everywhere and absolutely no privacy. So, I photographed in the hotel room instead.
Hot Oven
MonikaMany models are too shy to dance in front of the camera. Crazy, isn't it? There are a lot of shy models anyway. Monika, fortunately, was not one of them.
Basin II
Effy, Tenerife, 2023This is part two with Effy at the water basin by the sea. Those boobs are incredibly perfect.
Perceptual Vibration
Olga, Frankfurt, 2016It is quite unusual to see breasts this size and they are natural. This doesn't matter to me, I am just saying as I am starring at them. Olga looks great in red.
Hoppy Easter!
It's that time of year again! Wishing you all a very Happy Easter filled with joy, love, and plenty of chocolate bunnies! May your day be filled with happiness and blessings. Have a hoppy Easter, everyone!
Fairy Queen
Anato, Frankfurt, 2021If you want to describe a perfect model, you can just mention the name 'Anato'. She embodies nude photography and all you have to do as a photographer is press the shutter release.
Basin I
Effy, Tenerife, 2023Sometimes I think too much and look for a great story for a photo series. Then, I realize that all it takes is a beautiful woman who undresses.
Nightshift
SayaSometimes things happen and you need some kind of solution. I was actually shooting Saya during the day, but my Profoto flash generator suddenly gave up.I thought maybe it just needed to cool down and went out to dinner with Saya. Then it was already dark and the generator stayed dead.So I had to work without much light, but Saya rocked it.
Hot Season Sneak Peek
Dominika, Mannheim, 2015Usually you don't get this amount of sunshine in February in Germany. So, I was overwhelmed by this on my shoot. And this was how I came up with the title for this set.
By popular demand
Christiane, Vienna, 2017Christiane is always great to work with. She's definitely a woman men will turn around for on the street.She was a bit shocked when she saw the photo from above, but only because someone asked her about it.We are friends to this day.
