Beauty and Boats Pt. 1 (4K)

Nicci, Tenerife, 2024

When you work with a model repeatedly, many things are easier. You meet at an agreed location, don't need to make a lot of small talk, but can go straight out and take p...

Courtship Display

Loreley, Paris, 2014

The simplest pairings are often the best: chips with ketchup, soccer and beer or a naked woman and jeans. It can be so simple.

I took the photos in an amazing desig...

Summer Grapes 4K

Kaya, Rheingau, 2023

Why wander far away when good things are so close? That's an old saying and that's exactly what I followed. I put together a nice little picnic and went to the vineyards ...

Behind the Scenes: Nasty and Tennis

BTS Clip of me shooting Nastya for my series "Game, Set, Soul (Love All)" on a windy tennis court.

Painted Black

Sabi, Tenerife, 2016

I actually wanted to shoot a model smeared with finger paint for my book "Sublime". It took me two attempts and in the end I wasn't satisfied. Body painting is more diffi...

Prime Time

Olga, Paris, 2015

Olga is a vamp. I think that's what they call these man-killing women with perfect breasts and long legs. These women who can just have any guy. As a model, she was a real d...

Arise and Shine

Sailys del Mar, Paris, 2019

When I photographed Sailys del Mar in Paris, Notre Dame had just burned down, Peter Lindbergh had died and I met his 1st assistant Stefan Rappo the first time in p...

Drive My Body

Melisa Mendini, Wiesbaden, 2011

At my car shoots, the question always arises as to who is the real star, the horny car or the enchanting woman in the picture? You have to answer this question...

Echoes in White 4K

Bella Ballerina, Tenerife, 2023

It feels incredibly privileged to be able to work with lots of sunlight. With so much light, even a dull hotel room becomes a good location. And I just love w...

Rhapsody in Purple

Adem, Frankfurt, 2010

Photography definitely has a learning curve. I can say that when I look back at these pictures. But above all, it's amazing how fashion and the zeitgeist change. Bold sm...

Hussy by Nature

Michaela, Frankfurt, 2010

This set accompanied a story about partnership and love making in Men's Health magazine. Unfortunately, the magazine is now a bit more buttoned up and no longer has ...

Bikini Zone

Dianium, Ibiza, 2022

This beach in Ibiza is quite ideal for shooting. You need to climb down a little but then you have a bay all for yourself. It's a popular spot, but off season in the morn...

Endless Love

Lu, Frankfurt, 2010

I was inspired by this music video where the guy walks through New York City carrying a big red heart and singing about his broked heart. Maybe, I have overdone it a bit. ...

Backstage

Elle, Paris, 2014

For this shoot, I rented a real apartment with actual people living there. Well, I didn't rent the people, I just wanted to have a lively place and not the typical airbnb em...

Descending to Cloud Nine 4K

Margoreett, Frankfurt, 2023

Our first time working together and I was already convinced. She is a wonderful model and also freaky at the same time. This makes shooting fun and the results are...

Lara Bonus 1

Lara, Paris, 2015

Parisian woman Lara fit so well in this apartment that looking back at those images I have no doubt, I visited her in her very own place with my camera. Which if course, was...

Boobservation

Karina, Berlin, 2017

Whenever I see photos of other photographers with just a bit of this window frame, I can immediately tell where the photo was taken. Weird, isn't it?

This was my fi...

Look of Love

Sanctum, Leipzig, 2015

I booked Sanctum because I loved her haircut. And her presence in front of the camera. 

But unfortunately the only thing I remember today from the shoot was ...

Mellow and Sublime

This is a quick info that my pre-sale for the book Mellow runs out on Friday. If you haven't ordered a copy yet, you could save until Friday.

While tidying up to create storage space, a box ...

Natural Ingredients

Sabi, Tenerife, 2016

This was from my very first trip to Tenerife. I had Sabi with me and those were wonderful days. The sea was much warmer than expected even though it was winter time. And ...

Bubble Bath

Chiara and Kitrysha, Milan, 2018

I met these beauties in Italy. To be honest, I knew Chiara already. And for my coffee table book Sublime, I wanted to photograph the topic with two women sens...

Girl on Fire

Melissa Mendini, Wiesbaden, 2011

I am very grateful that I got to work with Melissa Mendini in the early 2010s quite a lot. She was a super professional model, always on point and these were ...

Behind the Scenes Nastya 1

Some people asked for it, so I filmed a behind the scenes video of me shooting Nastya while working out a series for my photo book.

I dressed her up as a cheerleader for this.

As somet...

Jacqueline

Jacqueline asked me to work with her. And I immediately saw her potential. I took these test shots in a local hotel and suggested her to Playboy. It took a while, but two years later, I was commiss...

Roadtrip

Sloane, Sitges, 2016

In 2016, I drove around Sitges, over the mountains and back to Barcelona with Sloane in the car stopping here and there for a little roadtrip story.

Nika

Nika, Frankfurt, 2017

Somehow the bad memories are always stronger than the good ones. First, the good ones: Even though Nika didn't speak English, we got along well during the shoot. I teste...

Whispering Whims (4K)

Lina Linn, Karlovy Vary, 2023

This is the most basic underwear I own from Maison Close. It consists of only 3 elastic strips that give the illusion of underpants and this funny bra which empa...

Beach Bonus

Baby Nicols, Tenerife, 2021

So, I went to explore some beaches with Baby Nicols. She is a wonderful woman and I won't forget these days. I am actually quite grateful for having met her and le...

Stripe Me Pink

Vivian Dubois, Frankfurt, 2011

This was my very first shoot with a medium format camera. The whole handling was totally different and to my surprise, the model said, she does not like my came...

Printing my new Coffee Table Book

Yesterday (Monday, 19th of February, 2024) my new coffee table book was printed. 26 x 4 printing plates for the 208 pages plus cover.

I'd like to share a little behind the scenes video with...
