Experiment 2 of 2

Beraca, Tenerife, 2025

Here is the second experiment. A classic one: I chose the wrong location. The rocks were uncomfortable. The surf too loud. The light in the shade too dark and in the sun too harsh. So I had to leave it at just a few photos at this location.

Experimental 1 of 2

Lana Lane, Heusenstamm, 2023

I always promise that there are more images to see on Patreon than anywhere else. And I want to keep that promise. Even though my inner censor says that these images don't belong published. They are just for you. Just so you can see that I'm not holding anything back. Like the sketch of an artist for a painting he never painted.

And that's part of every work process. That you have ideas, try them out, evaluate them and then realize: No, that didn't w...

Olga, Paris, 2015

The landlord in Paris worked in film production and I would have loved to show him the images afterwards. But communication isn't always easy with very busy people. A shame, because he had explicitly given me permission for the shoot and his apartment was in one of the coolest corners of Paris.

Olga, what should we say about her. She's a dream woman. I think that says it all. And the construction workers across the way were also over the moon. Olga waved to them...

Out of the Blue, Bonus, 4k

Rebecca, Fuerteventura, 2019

Sometimes it totally confuses me when models suddenly say something during the shoot and throw me off my concept. "I thought we were in Africa," she said out of the blue. And I pondered. No, of course Fuerteventura belongs to Spain. But yes, we are much closer to the African continent than to the European one.

But I don't want to distract from the actual point: We see a beautiful, tanned woman at a dreamlike villa location. A special day, especially b...

Angelique, Paris, 2024

Angelique wrote to me and really wanted to work with me when she heard I was coming to Paris. She is so professional, prepared, really very warm. Only her suitcase with 287 pieces of underwear was really a bit much for me. I had asked her to bring her favorite lingerie set. Not immediately, the whole closet!

The Blonde in the Machine, 4k

Zu, Frankfurt, 2023

For this series I was trembling and worried because I so desperately hoped that no one else would come up with this idea before my book was published, in which the images could be seen for the first time. I mean, let's be honest, the idea was just lying in the street. It practically jumps out at you. Especially when Apple came around the corner with their expensive cyber-glasses thing and it was in the press daily. What I particularly like about this kind of image i...

Video: Lina Fuerteventura

Lina masters her bitch face. These are her own words. She says, her face works 100% to keep men away. When I argued, it might be an idea to attract men rather than keeping them away, she disagreed. Until the end of the video, where I managed to get at least a tiny bit of a smile from her.

Office Day, 4k

Aneta, Frankfurt, 2009

In 2009 I still had my photo studio in Frankfurt. Centrally located, 200m from the main train station. Back then I was in my "Office" phase. I was always thematically recreating some kind of office scenes. Ultra-reduced with folding tables and various objects. Always with a pretty woman at the center.

Aneta was an incredibly striking Romanian. Unfortunately she suddenly disappeared from the modeling portals, so I couldn't book her a second time. Because I s...

Kira, Tenerife, 2025

When I take such shots, I'm alone with the model, but not completely alone in the world. Other tourists are naturally at such spots too. If possible, I try to avoid us getting in each other's way, but that wasn't possible here. The spot was too prominent. And so it happened that a group of four women in their early twenties were jumping around taking selfies while Kira was undressing. I was completely focused on Kira, but with my right ear I heard sentences like "L...

Monika, Prague, 2024

It sometimes blows me away when I realize that women whom most men wouldn't dare to approach are themselves quite shy and reserved.

Because I now have difficulties finding models in the Czech Republic, the former mecca for nude photography, I booked Monika, a great model from Poland. For my shoot in Prague. Yes, somehow not ideal when you think about CO2 and such things. But I'll quickly distract you with my photos...

Kissing in the Blue Dark

Margot, Frankfurt, 2023

Margot has had a picture-perfect career. And I'm a little bit happy to be part of it. First, she contacted me to do a test shoot with her. She was 19 at the time. And when I saw the envious looks from the guys at the bus stop as I loaded the blonde into my car, I knew she was a man magnet.

Then I suggested her to Playboy. But Playboy declined. Too unattractive. Seriously? I flew her to Fuerteventura anyway and produced a photo series with her. Then the pan...

Margoreett, Frankfurt, 2023

There are several models in the industry who first had a career in fashion, but then discovered nude photography as a passion. Margoreett is one of them. She's very mature, very grown-up. And she knows martial arts. Really a cool person! And she's remained a child at heart.

Five Minute Hydration, Video 4k

Kira, Tenerife, 2025

I ran out of time on this shoot. Actually, I should have just left it alone. But because I had already bought the cucumber and the face mask, we quickly took a few pictures.

I wouldn't actually publish a video like this. But on the other hand, Kira is too beautiful to look at. And I still need to practise filming during my shoots anyway.

Long story short. The password is: facial

Elfa (or Call me Elfa), Frankfurt, 2024

Elfa calls herself "Call me Elfa." Should I call her "Call me Elfa" or "Elfa"? Whatever. Listen. I met her in the hotel lobby. It was August. It was warm. And she was wearing exactly what you see in the photos. In the hotel lobby. A 50-year-old guy (me) picking up a 21-year-old dressed like that. I had to laugh inside. And quickly disappeared with her to the room.

Miska and Terez, Bad Homburg, 2021

On this day, it came over me. I just wanted to shoot in black and white for once. For a change. Because I wanted to do something new. I'm not satisfied with my results. But that's perhaps normal for an artist. I will keep trying.

Darina, Frankfurt, 2023

I had photographed Darina for my book Mellow. And although only four pages were supposed to go into the book, I wanted to take more follow-up shots. I was being somewhat picky. But that doesn't have to be a mistake. So I photographed her again. She has an incredible body. Simply amazing. I've already revealed her secret before: avoiding sugar. And she listens to techno music. That doesn't contribute to her beautiful body shape though. I just enjoyed it during th...

Nastya, Paris, 2024

Nastya is one of my absolute favorite models. And honestly, I should work with her much more often. But then there would only be photos of her. That wouldn't be ideal either. It's important to me to always capture a good mix of different women. Not just those I personally find attractive. And what is attractiveness anyway? Is it a body? Is it personality? Is it a connection?

Monachopsis, 4k

Dominika, Frankfurt, 2024

"Monachopsis" describes the subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place in a situation or environment, like a seal on a beach. You feel awkward, clumsy, and easily distracted, often in the company of others who don't quite fit in either, and you dream of a place where you would effortlessly and brilliantly feel at home.

This word came to mind as I was photographing. Sometimes I have these strange flashes of thought. It's not a b...

Ibiza in the Rain, 4k

Tezz, Ibiza, 2022

It's raining. Just a little at first. Then more and more. And I specially flew to Ibiza for this. I booked a model. Her day rate is steep. We connect very well. But it's raining. First, I thought of this famous tree. Fortunately, I have a very good memory for places and I found it again, even though I was last there in 2016. But after that, the rain really started coming down. Funny how you can't really see it that much in the photos.

Baby Nicols, Tenerife, 2022

My first photoshoot after the pandemic. Me, starving for creativity and full of energy. In front of me, a lovely person. Baby Nicols is an amazing human being. I was able to capture emotions with her. That's always what I aim to achieve. To preserve moments that feel genuine when viewed. And dance scenes are so perfect for this. Of course, her South American appearance - a Venezuelan, the first before my lens - is also fantastic.

Vi Bla Bla, Athens, 2022

It's hard to believe that it's already been two and a half years since I took these photos. And sometimes I find it sad that I didn't discover a certain model earlier. Vi Bla Bla is an actress. She has a mind of her own, is very strong, but her expression is incredibly intense. These pictures here are rejects. But too good to delete, in my opinion.

Katerina, Fellbach, 2022

Here comes the third part of my photoshoot with Katerina and the awesome Opel GT, model year 1972. Finding a location was incredibly difficult, and the project almost failed because I was forbidden from taking photos everywhere I tried. Initially, I wanted to rent an industrial hall in Stuttgart that's used as an event venue. When I called the landlord, he told me he wouldn't allow photography there even in underwear. We're talking about an industrial hall. And...

Olivia, Frankfurt, 2023

There are a few male fantasies that are actually quite silly, but always work. In 1st place: The flight attendant who seduces you. Where exactly? In the 1 square meter airplane bathroom? In 2nd place: The nurse. But aren't you sick when you're in the hospital? Better not then. So here I present 3rd place: House Keeping. The beautiful cleaning lady who goes everywhere with her duster and leaves nothing dirty (or does she?). I am joking!

Mother of Eros, Bonus Part 1

Vi Bla Bla, Athens, 2023

They say actors are the easiest to photograph. And I can confirm this. It's that "I don't care" feeling they exude. They are in their role. And the presence of a camera simply doesn't interest them. As a photographer, you sometimes need to be careful not to pull the person out of their role. Just go with whatever they're doing. Don't interrupt the flow. But the feeling of seeing through the viewfinder that something fantastic is emerging is wonderful. And so he...

Avery, Frankfurt, 2024

Sometimes I wonder why it's so difficult to photograph nudity in Germany. I specifically drove to a remote country road, far outside, beyond the city limits. During the shoot, of course, a few dog owners still passed by. And all of them, really all of them, had to make a stupid comment. Something like "Tractors drive here too, you know." Yes, obviously not at the moment, otherwise Avery couldn't be standing there with her bright yellow VW Beetle. And if a farmer ...

Anna, Riga, 2016

This photoshoot remains unforgettable to me. The model was quite crazy. And I was really far away from home. Suddenly around me was a taxi driver who chatted with Anna in Russian and gave her his phone. They wanted to meet up for sightseeing, and I was supposed to join. Yet I had booked Anna for a photoshoot. I felt like the sober person between two stoned people. A strange situation. Sometimes photoshoots demand more from you than what's apparent at first glance. And ...

Lina Linn, Prague, 2023

I always wanted to work with a cloth and water by the sea. And it always looked silly, so I didn't show the photos to anyone. But I don't give up that easily. So I simply took my cloth (which I had bought specifically for a shoot) with me to Prague. The blue bathroom was nostalgic-sexy anyway, and Lina is such a wonderful person that I'm always happy to see her regardless.
