Baby Nicols, Tenerife, 2022
I hope I'm not giving too much away by showing outtakes of Baby Nicols right now. She was wonderful to work with. And I'm looking forward to having her in my next book.

Erin, Frankfurt, 2022
A small hotel room, the same setup over and over again... it's not that easy to take varied and different pictures. So I tried to find out from Erin what her specialties are: The long hair and her flexibility.

Effy, Tenerife, 2023
I really like these very simple stories: A girl takes off her clothes. That's all it takes if the surroundings are right, isn't it?
And so I have so many beautiful pictures with Effy that here is a whole bonus set. In the sun of Tenerife. What more could you want?

Katia, Portugal, 2016
I flew to Portugal because I wanted to photograph a naked woman with a flock of sheep. The owner allowed me to do that. And the sheep were really cute. Unfortunately they all ran away as soon as we approached them. I still went after them with the car - yes, that's how big the meadow was - but it all didn't help. So here I have a photo series with a shepherdess, but without sheep.
As I write this, I feel like a fairy tale teller. But I swear that everything I...

Raphaella, Ibiza, 2013
A small series on the most beautiful Mediterranean island with Raphaella. I almost wrote Raphaello, given the white villa and the light summer vibe.

Noe, Zurich, 2013
To this day, it's always difficult to find good locations for a shoot. Almost more difficult than finding good models. And finding them is already difficult.
So I was all the happier when the editor-in-chief of TRIP Magazine offered me to shoot in his loft in Zurich. We had met only once before personally and I was super grateful to him for this offer.
My model from Zurich, a pretty, slim blonde, did not come to the shoot. And so there I was in a gorgeous l...

Sarah Ann, Berlin, 2008
On this shoot, I can't help but think that the makeup artist's backpack was so heavy that she fell over backwards when she put it on while saying goodbye and was halfway in the closet like a turtle on its shell when she wanted to leave. I don't know why moments like that are so memorable.
Melisa Mendini, Frankfurt, 2009
Someone wrote me yesterday that I should take pictures with colored stockings. I immediately thought of Melisa. Here is an old set from her. Photographically I was not yet on a high level, but Melisa made up for it.

Melissa Mendini
The shower in my friend's bathroom was so dirty that I had to spend 20 minutes removing lime stains before Melisa could take a shower.
The shower and Melissa, they are really friends. Only the eye makeup was too dark for me and that annoys me immensely later, because I can no longer change it in the post-processing.
So rather look at her butt, please!

Andrea, Tenerife, 2023
In the house of a very sweet and dear old lady I photographed Andrea. The light was a bit challenging because the window was very small and at knee height.
For me, it's always strange when I drive far away from home early in the morning for 2 hours on the highway and then take photos in a place completely foreign to me. I would always have to pinch myself to believe it.

Dominika, Frankfurt, 2023
I have not worked with any model as often as with Dominika. I've known her since she was 23 or so. Ah, I won't reveal how old she is now. You don't tell the age of a lady.
I photographed her on a playground this year when she was passing through. It was one of these crazy model schedules again: In the morning she had a shoot at 6 o'clock, then she briefly came by to photograph with me and in the afternoon she had her 3rd production that day in Cologne. 2023-10-05 09:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Evi, Frankfurt, 2008
This set is from the time when I still had a studio in Frankfurt and created my series with table in it. Obviously the color red was my theme and I am grateful that I was allowed to work with Evi. Such a great, fresh, young woman.
The phone was once green and belonged to my parents. I repainted it red for the shoot. And if anyone wants to try something like this: Please be sure to treat it with a primer spray beforehand. I didn't do that and all the paint melt...

Monika, Frankfurt, 2013
This beautiful apartment was offered to me for the shoot by a nice lawyer from Frankfurt. Just in case you have a great place and would allow me to shoot there, I am always searching nice places.
And if you feel inspired by any of the images, please note that using a burning flame on a match stick may result in burnt lashes which happened to Monika when I photographed her.

Nera, Frankfurt, 2011
Since today, I am a fan of oily skin. My idea with the lipstick on her nipples, did result in an angry email from a guy and I still have to smile about how someone can get triggered by a lipstick on the boobies.
Julia Zu, Frankfurt, 2018
For this shoot with Julia, I had rented a small cinema. It was super complicated to connect my notebook to the projector and I had to buy all sorts of cables. I wanted to project behind the scenes shots from my previous shoots for my book Sublime as this was the final series I took for the book.
Julia was a wonderful woman. Perfect shapes, just damn sexy. I bought the shoes only for one photo as well as the silk pants. But the little things matter, I beli...

Margoreett, Frankfurt, 2023
A new model and what a model! I was really delighted to work with Margoreett, a tough woman who knows things. I always say, I like strong women as being self-confident. She even brings martial arts levels on set. Just wonderful!

Julie, Frankfurt, 2007
I used to have my own studio in the heart of Frankfurt. In this studio, I experimented with my first nude photo series. I always wanted to produce series and was inspired by fashion magazines.
Julie was a wonderful model. Her boyfriend came along for the shoot and I learned the lesson that a model always acts more freely, if she can focus on you alone. The photos you see here are the ones when it was only the two of us. They are very old, but I still like th...

Darina, Frankfurt, 2022
I have a long story with lingerie from Maison Close. From when they started the label more than 15 years ago, I was an avid buyer of their underwear. And last year, they came out with exchangeable neon strings for their pieces. But hell, why am I telling you all of this?
My shoot is about a perfect blond with a perfect body. Darina eats no sugar and works out. She is all natural. Amazing, right?

Chiara, Paris, 2017
Chiara is one of the most professional models I ever worked with. In 2017 I produced her to become Playmate in Playboy Germany.
For these photos we met at 8am, so you would definitely think, I was the first photographer to shoot Chiara on this day. But I was wrong. She already had a shoot at 5am in the streets of Paris. Sometimes, models are so crazy, they really surprise me.

Melisa Mendini, Frankfurt, 2013
I have worked with Melisa Mendini (or is it Melissa?) many times. She could be a role model for other models, if you ask me. I like her professionalism, her kindness and the way she acts in front of the camera very much.
Always liked the shape of her breasts, too. And I know, others go crazy for her behind. She is a shy and modest woman and when you meet her, you have no idea, she has thousands of fans out there.
I borrowed a BMX bike and went...

Marlen, Frankfurt, 2012
When I picked up Marlen at the train station, I was a bit shocked at first, because she looked so slim. My sister had anorexia when I was a kid, so I am very familiar with this topic. We went to eat the same evening after the shoot and Marlen ate normally. I did not bring up the topic, because it's none of my business, but I hope, she is doing fine.
I am only mentioning it, because I am very sensitive in all regards but sometimes, things are not under your ...

Kary, Frankfurt, 2019
I am not the type of photographer who shoots NIP (nude in public), but then, there's summer and so I figured, I could give it a try. If you choose locations that are not so populated, it's much easier than one would think.
I like the exotic look of Kary. What is exotic anyways? I mean, exotic considered that I am a German person (who used to have strawberry blonde hair).

Jelena, Paris, 2016
This is a bonus series I produced from outtakes. Originally I had shot Jelena for my coffee table book. I loved the top lighting above the dining table in this apartment and I keep an eye for such things when searching locations.
The apartment was located on Montmartre hill which is quite a nice area in Paris, just in case you haven't been there yet.
Jelena is an artist now, herself. I really like the photos that she takes and we got along really we...

Masha, Fuerteventura, 2011

On Wednesday, 7.9. (so tomorrow) it starts.
