Pull of Life

Nastya, Frankfurt, 2023

Ever since I gave up my own studio in Frankfurt in 2012 because I'm simply not a studio photographer and prefer to shoot on location, I've been struggling with white studio walls.

But you should always face new challenges and try out new things. That's what I did when I discovered the enchanting Nastya. She is so fantastic, such a great person, that I completely forgot what environment I was in. She was the star!

Tears in Rain

Tezz, Ibiza, 2022

Ibiza in May with rain. This was not how imagined my shoot. Luckily, Tezz was a tough girl. While I was wearing a rain jacket, she took off her clothes. Temperatures went down from 18 degrees to as low as 13 degrees Celsius over the day. But the location was still magnificent. And Tezz is a dream. What can I say? I always wanted to shoot in the rain. But I meant more like, warm summer rain.

See Through

Nera, Frankfurt,2012

Nera is a woman who has sensuality deep within her. I find it hard to describe. She just feels it. And she radiates it. It's not about having the perfect body or the most beautiful face. No, it's this cheekiness, this feeling that something is about to happen. That's what she brings with her. And I love that. These are the perfect conditions for an erotic shoot.

Active Awakening (4K)

Lina Linn, Prague, 2023

Did I ever mention that I love sporty girls? So, I brought this weirdly looking gymnastic ball which kind of looks like an xxl sex toy to the shoot. And as I had been early, arriving hours before the shoot, I went for a walk. I passed by a shop and found a gymnastic mat and dumbbells.

Lina did a real workout while I captured this for you.

Silver Bullet

Medea, Babenhausen, 2022

One of the rare original camping trailers from 50 years ago that have not been converted into a snack van. I really wanted to take a photo with one of these. Many years ago I discovered one that had been converted into a hotel room in Austria, but this one was much better. And the shots with Medea were great in the setting sun in front of the storm clouds.

Digging in the Archives

I have good news for you! As some of you requested older sets which I personally thought would be too old for Patreon, but you denied, I went to my bank and got the old photos from my backups. Actually, I am still copying data for four hours now and going through the images. I will re-retouch most of the series, before I can show them to you. And some are really not my standard any longer, but there are so many old images that give me a big smile, that I am looking forward to showing those to...

Hornamorous

Jelena, Paris, 2016

Jelena is a great woman. It's becoming more and more important for me to work with women who feel erotic photography and don't just do it to make a quick buck. Then the photos just get better and I think you can see that.

Vulpecula

Margoreett, Frankfurt, 2023

Vulpecula /vʌlˈpɛkjʊlə/ is a faint constellation in the northern sky. Its name is Latin for "little fox", although it is commonly known simply as the fox. Margoreett refers to herself as 'the moon', so I figured, a series title around the universe would fit her well.

Home Office

Ariel, Frankfurt, 2018

I flew Ariel in for this shoot. She is such a stunning woman. This gave me the security for an experimental shoot. I just knew, she'd look sexy even if I place her in the dark or whatever. The place where we took these images is now history. It was the former printing house where my first two coffee table books were printed.

Self Exposure

Lu, Frankfurt, 2009

This was shot in my studio in Frankfurt. I was still a beginner when I took these images and except for the idea behind this, there's not much positive I could say about these images from today's perspective. However, Lu was kind of sexy with her haircut that reminded me of the dancers from the Crazy Horse in Paris.

Beats and Bangs (4K)

Vanessa, Frankfurt, 2024

Finally, the weather is nice enough again for natural light shoots. I missed this so much. To my surprise I have only recently discovered Vanessa. She is a German model and this has become so rare in my field of photography.

Preview "Messy Masterpieces"

I was lucky and after all the rain, I happened to get the one day with sunshine and was able to shoot Olivia with a lot of blue finger paint. It was a fun shoot and the photos turned out great. Now, like always directly after a shoot, I am overly excited and need this enthusiasm to settle a bit.

But very soon, I will share the results with you. As always, you will be the first to see the photos.

Venus Flytrap

Effy, Paris, 2021

This was one of those shoots were I got fooled by the location photos I saw when booking. They were shot with around 10-14mm and therefore the whole apartment appeared much bigger than it actually was.

We shot in winter and it was so freezing outside. Luckily the heating worked and I pulled it up to the max. Effy looked stunning. And I knew that we would work together again in the future.

Devil in Me

Kitrysha, Milano, 2018

I met Kitrysha in the morning for the first time. I was so blown away by her energy that I asked her, if she had time for another shoot on the same day in the evening. She said yes and so we did a rough shoot without light. She is such a cool woman.

Meanwhile her body has changed a lot, but these images of her natural appearance live on forever.

Wash me (I'm dirty)

Melissa Mendini, Wiesbaden, 2012

With the right model, you really don't need more than a shower and some water. This shoot was so easy to do and it's really a pity that Melissa is not modeling anymore. Great memories of a great model.

Olivia in Tidy Touch

This is a fun clip from my shoot with Olivia as a cleaning maid.

Iconic Rides 4K

Sylphsia, Frankfurt, 2019

An Australian blonde on the hottest day of the year in 2019 in Frankfurt (over 40 degree Celsius) riding an Italian chopper with a fox butt plug attached to the back. What more do I need to say?

The lingerie addict

Miluniel, Worms, 2019

I took these images in a place that looked like a furniture store. A pretty clever designed studio with multiple rooms. For both Miluniel's and my brain it was kind of difficult to feel the room, though. Miluniel is a collector of underwear and damn, I loved her collection.

Grounds for Divorce 2

Carla Monaco, Leeds, 2013

These images are old, but until this day, I am a big fan of my work with this car and of course, with Carla. Such a good match. I actually like the bit amateurish vibe my work had back then. Hopefully I can conserve this and not become too streamlined with my work as I gain more and more routine. What also is nice that these are memories for a car which doesn't exist anymore, because the new owner crashed it. This makes these photos even more special.

Little Runaway 1, 4K

Nicci, Tenerife, 2024

Escaping winter, I did these shots on the Canary Islands with beautiful Nicci. These are kind of NIP photos, which usually isn't my thing. But we tried to manage not to be seen. Maybe someone saw us, but we were pretty quick.

The Realm

Bianca, Tenerife, 2021

The taxi driver brought Bianca to my place early in the morning. We drank a cup of coffee together and off we went on a trip to the beach and this little hut up the hills. In case you ever shoot with jewelry and salt water, make sure the stuff is waterproof. I had to throw the body chain away after the shoot (into the trash can of course), because the water totally ruined it instantly. In case you haven't found the jewelry yet, it's alright – Bianca takes up mor...

Wake up call

Nika, Frankfurt, 2018

Nika is quite know in the industry. What I didn't know was that she hardly spoke English and I was communicating with her husband beforehand. Such things turn me off and it wasn't the best experience. However, I can say that she posed professionally even though my images had turned out better with better communication.

Koshechka

Anastasia, Erfurt, 2019

One of the few times that I actually drove to the real apartment of a model to photograph her there. Such a setting feels a bit odd, but in the end, for you, it might look the same as my other shoots. You also might be able to tell that this shoot was all about her voluptuous boobs.

Bike 4K

Layana, Babenhausen, 2023

I expected this shoot to go differently. But we were disturbed by a bunch of construction workers (all from Balkan) who were very nasty and approached Layana. She told them to fuck off, which didn't calm the situation. As I didn't want to risk anything and also had a very rare and expensive race bike (borrowed for this shoot), I decided it was the best to interrupt the shoot and leave.

I never got into such a situation before. It happened that people wer...

Rhythm Division

Franzi, Leipzig, 2015

Our first encouter and just a playful indoor series in an industrial style building in Eastern Germany.

Ride the Waves 1, 4K

Julene, Fuerteventura, 2023

Julene accompanied me on my last trip to Fuerteventura. We photographed a surfer girl story and this is the beginning (first part).

My Sandbox

Terez, Feurteventura, 2016

In only one month I will see this beautiful model again. I am very much looking forward to a new shoot with her. In all regards she is a wonderful woman and I usually have to laugh a lot when she is around. Quick reminder to self to take photographs and not only joke around.

Behind the Scenes: Mermaid Shoot

Here is a behind the scenes from a shoot I did in Tenerife with Margoreett. She was dressed like a modern mermaid, so to say. As embedding a video here didn't work out last time properly, I set a password this time. The pass is: marmelade

Hide and Seek

Danika, Frankfurt, 2010

A new hotel had opened in Frankfurt and I was shown the rooms straight away. It was a different time 14 years ago and I was just starting out. Nevertheless, I would like to show these pictures, because a few years after my photos, the highly esteemed Andreas Bitesnich took a book of nudes with exactly this model.
