Viktoria, Frankfurt, 2014
Frankfurt isn't exactly known for its coolness. For a while, I used to wander its streets like a urban treasure hunter, always searching for locations or interesting things to discover. And that's when I found this courtyard - down a few steps and tucked away in a factory-style basement loft was an absolute lingerie paradise. I instantly clicked with the owner, Erika. What an amazing woman.
After months of weekly visits, I finally worked up the courage to ask if I could perhaps do a photo shoot in her salon. The model you see here is Playmate Viktoria.
