I'm baby

Kitrysha, Frankfurt, 2017When someone says 'I'm baby' they are referring that they are innocent, cute, gentle, adorable, loving, and lovable. Or in short: Kitrysha.

Sandy, Barcelona, 2015Nothing was easy about this shoot. I was accompanied by a camera crew that filmed how I work and they got robbed in the old town the night before. I didn't go out, so I was fine, but the whole atmosphere was very tense.I was still shooting with my Canon 1ds MKIII at that time. This was short before I switched to Sony.

Firestarter

Jammy, Mannheim, 2014I was desperately seeking a model with red hair for this shoot. When I saw Jammy, I immediately knew she was it! Red hair in perfection. I love this, because it makes you think of a movie strip right away.

Feminine Fuel

Paulina, Paris, 2019After a night out, Pauline came to my hotel early in the morning. She has such a wild spirit and was making fun of me, because I am always so serious when I am concentrated. She said "Simon, you have a stick up your ass, you are so stiff" and we both had to laugh.

Like Ice in the Sun

Sloane, Barcelona, 2016I was at the wrong terminal when trying to pick up Sloane at the airport. This confusion was awful as I only had a few hours until sunset. Luckily, I managed.Two years later, this villa was completely renovated and I worked there again for Playboy.

Maybe Naked

Valin, Paris, 2016I adore the curly hair of Valin. This freshness about her look gives a nice interaction with her shyness.

Demand and Supply

Michaela and Terez, Frankfurt, 2021In an old factory, Michaela and Terez came together and I photographed them one after the other rather than together.

Road Ranger

Mia, Fuerteventura, 2013When wanting to shoot a road trip story with Mia, I had major problems finding an undisturbed location in Fuerteventura. I was not so experienced with working abroad in 2013 and at my first sport, there were other tourists, then there was too much traffic passing-by.It took until 2 pm for me to make the first photo. I was getting nervous already, but Mia is one of the most perfect models I ever worked with. She just rocked...

Amazone

Fernandes, Amsterdam, 2011It's all about body proportions. Those legs are never-ending. I think, I never met a model again with such crazily long legs.

Ban the Bra

Raphaella, Ibiza, 2013It was my very first time in Ibiza and I booked a location scout to take me to scenic places for my shoot. This helped me a lot and I can only recommend to do such a thing when you pay a model and want to get the most out of your time.

Flowers by Irene

Maria, Frankfurt, 2017I was allowed to photograph parts of my flower series in an old art house cinema.

Coming Home

Saya, Frankfurt, 2010I re-worked on these photos during pandemic, because this shoot really means something to me. Saya was coming home to my apartment for this shoot, actually.It's weird to see how it once looked. Meanwhile, the furniture has changed, but through these photos of Saya, I remember it nicely.

La vie en rose

Laurence, Liège, 2014What a beautiful apartment! Architecture plays a big role in my photographs. It's about the female body, but there is always an interaction with the surroundings. Not only during the shoot and for the mood on set, but also when you view the photos. This place looks cozy and so you could imagine much easier to cuddle with Laurence. I said 'imagine', so please don't get me wrong.

Behind the Scenes

These are behind the scenes images from my series 'Crocodile Candy'. Smoking in a pool was so nasty, but it was the model's idea, believe me!

Atlantis

Rubia, Ibiza, 2016A place so difficult to reach, yet so beautiful.

Bonus: Out of Office

Here are 3 more images with Ariel making copies.There was a paper jam during the shoot and I had to call someone from the office. He pulled the crushed sheets out of the rollers and went wide-eyed when he saw what was on them.

Out of Office

Ariel, Frankfurt, 2015For a long time, I wanted to photograph a woman on a copy machine. But it wasn't easy to find a model who was up for it. And to find a copy machine. First I thought of buying one, but damn, those things are expensive.So, I asked the publishing house where my book was printed and they said yes. The rest can be seen in the pictures.

Dreaming of Me

Katia, Porto, 2017A movie inspired me to try out this theme. I didn't have a darkroom, but Katia is the star in the pictures anyways, right?

A Dog's Life

Anetta Keys, Frankfurt, 2019What a sexy woman! I always wanted to work with Anetta and when she asked me to shoot her, I was very delighted. And so was her dog. Is he having a boner?

Rainbow in a Cloud

Lina Linn, Frankfurt, 2022I have done so many shoots in hotel rooms, that you could imagine, it gets boring. But with Lina Linn, it was special. She brought so much life into the pictures.Imagine, as we wanted to end, she told me, she can do splits, so I ended up with the photo with her legs spread from one side of the bed to the other.

101 Park Avenue

Aubrey, Frankfurt, 2015She was such a cute blonde young woman that I had to ask Aubrey, if I could photograph her. Unfortunately she did not want to shoot nudes, but when we met there was still a certain aura she had.

Open Your Eyes

Dominika, Frankfurt, 2021These are the photos I have chosen for the final series with Dominika. I tried to balance my flash with the outdoor light, so it looks like an available light only shot. I think, it worked out quite well except for that you can see my umbrella reflecting in one of the images.

Sundressed

Rubia, Ibiza, 2016Traveling to an island with a model is best when you know each other already. I am very thankful for having received a free upgrade with my rental car which is very unusual, I believe. I love about Ibiza that it is small and you can reach each place within one hour driving.

Nearacle

Lara, Paris, 2015I fell in love with this apartment right away. It was super tiny, like all the apartments in Paris, but so cute. And this blonde woman fit in perfectly.

Outtakes Dominika

When working with a model like Dominika, it's hard to shoot a photo that doesn't look good. She is such a gorgeous model and therefore I worked with her four or five times already.These are just some outtakes which were less good than my other photos. Still too good to just throw them away, I believe.

Sensualism

Carlotta, Frankfurt, 2022

Neon

Darina, Frankfurt, 2022

Amour Fou

Laura, Paris, 2022

Rock 'n Roll Refugee

Rubia, Ulm, 2014A friend of mine once said "I'm a rock'n roll refugee, I don't need a watch". This is how I came to the title of this series. The Mustang is quite a power horse. And so big compared to German cars. It was one of Rubia's first nude shoots, actually.
