Poker Girls (II)

Here's the second part of my series with Heidi, Irina, Karina and Dasha.

Poker Girls (I)

One of the most challenging shooting types are shootings with a group of models. When I was in Sicily last September, I had the chance to shoot with 4 models at the same time. Fortunately I knew all 4 of them already. I had only 30 minutes for this shooting, so there was not much time to provide directions to the models during the shooting. It was rather 4 models playing their roles, not waiting for the photographer...

Upcoming g/g shoot - Moodboard

There are only 2 days left before we meet in Speyer for the g/g shooting with Irina and Sofia. Today I sent them some pics what I have in mind for our shooting - of course, location, models and light will be different but it's important that they understand where I want to go ... The pictures are from various photographers and you may recognize that the last 2 pics are part of the video clip which was the initial inspiration.

Upcoming g/g shoot - Working on moods

Few days ago I talked about an upcoming g/g shoot in Speyer on May 8. So it's time to think about the basic idea for this shoot. Here's a link to a video clip as an inspiration for this shooting. Not sure I will use the idea of writing with a pen on the model's skin but could work well with Sofia's tattoos.

Upcoming g/g shoot ...

Last weekend I got a message from Sofia that she will be in Frankfurt beginning of May and would like to shoot with me. I know that Sofia and one of my favorite models, Irina Lozovaya, are good friends. I didn't work with Sofia yet, but thinking about the options, the idea for a g/g shooting was born.

Logistically, such a shooting is quite an effort. With Sofia residing in Frankfurt, Irina will come by train from Cologne to Frankfurt and I will meet them there, coming from Munich by car...

Mia was in town !

For more than 6 months, Mia and I tried to find a date and town, where to shoot. Last week we met in Munich for a hotel shooting ...

Inspiration & Utility

In my shooting I often use a book to have the model look into it - mostly I use "Revenge" by Ellen von Unwerth for that. There are some reasons

• All pictures shown are black and white - so the color concept of my shooting set is not disturbed by a picture in the book

• The book presents a story and therefore deals with the same topic all over

• There was no model so far, not being fascinated by the book which makes it easier to work with it during the ...

My first shooting with Rebecca Bagnol

Rebecca is one of my favorite models I love to work with. Over the last years we have had more than 15 shootings together and I always got a bunch of excellent pictures.

Of course, our both experience grew over time and our way of shooting changed a lot - but we have a common understanding what's a good picture and this makes it easy to create new things.

This series was done back in August 2018, when we had our first shooting in Cologne, Germany.

Laundry Day

Viktoria Yarova (@vi_blabla) is a model I did various shootings with - this series was shot in a country house close to Toulouse, France.
