An intense portrait of a young woman whose face is bathed in soft lights and whose eyes are in a state of deep reflection.
This portrait was a surprise for me. During the shooting, I was not so impressed with the styling. I wanted more blooming flowers. Therefore, the picture remained unused for a while. Then came the idea to create a winter image. White branches and white flowers and a few crystals and ice. Unbelievable, how it played out in the ends :-)
This photo session was inspired by Marie Antoinette and the Victorian era! It was shot in a porch using all authentic and antique furniture and props and it was the model's first photoshoot! I am thrilled with how these photos turned out!
Candid portrait of a street beggar under natural light. The focus was on his rugged hands, his only literal mean of survival.
Lisa is one of my favourite models. I took the photo when i visited a good friend of mine in germany. In his kitchen there was such a great incident light, so that I immidiately knew that this will be a wonderful shot! The picture was taken just with the available light there.
For the shooting „dream worlds“ I did some thinking about the subject dreams. Dreams in themselves cannot be observed. They are never concrete…never tangible. We experience them only alone. Dreams are fragile and transient, but can be so strong that they „take us with them“…in one or the other way…positiv or negative.
While shooting it was important for me to make the invisible visible for the eye. As in a dream flowers, spiny flowers, roses and silver thistles appear to us through a translucent veil in the picture. The sleeping beauty makes us curious. What may she dream of? How long may she probably lie there. She appears like an angle. Her eyes are closed. We get the association of Snow White in the glass coffin. Nobody wants to disturb her long sleep. She rests in herself but everything else seems to be in progress - through the milky water or the translucent veil she takes us with in her dream worlds.
Taken using a combination of Three studio lights , two orange gels and one blue gel to set up the shot, using umbrellas rather than softboxes.
Severine is a super nice, very friendly model. In this shooting we tried different light formers. I wanted to show that there is something more in her than nice and friendly: little drama and a very direct energy. I think it suits her very well.
I can still feel the taste of your lips ...

A dark portrait using natural light whose subject has a resemblance to Arya of House Stark. I tried to capture the darkness of the girl both in her eyes and the environment she is present at in a mysterious and eerie way.
Another beautiful image of Lily, who's stunning features make her a perfect choice for many of my person-requiring assignments. Lily is a natural beauty, who fusses over every detail: her makeup, outfit, hair, everything. Strip all that away, and your left with the natural beauty of Lily. Normally, fierce green eyes match perfectly lip-glossed pouty lips. In this black and white, my focus goes straight to the actual shape and beauty of her face, the wave of her hair, the natural ease she has in front of a camera. I love black and whites, and I think it turns an ordinary photo into a piece of art, just as I strived to do here.
Melinda is a very lovely person and a nice model to work with. When i took that picture, it was the first time I photographed her. At the location I made this shot there was just available light, great to work to!
This portrait picture is from a wedding shoot in Tirupur (India). I caught a small ray of light coming through a window and falling on the ground while this beautiful bride was walking down the stairs. I knew then that I had to frame a shot there. I am sucker for black and white pictures and the output that I got was as exactly as I had imagined!

This was taken with someone who had done very little modelling in her past, and I had the opportunity to take some portraits with her. This was done using the clam shell method and using soft boxes. A pink paper backdrop was use in my studio flat.The hat was found in a charity shop. Misha Silva is a natural Portugese model with a beautiful face that just speaks to the camera.
A great Shooting with the beautiful Nathalie. It was my first shooting with her. I experimented with light. And during editing of this image I tried different styles. In the end I used less contrast, and black version and a very soft and tender mood.
I love this image for many reasons...Aside from accentuating the beauty of her features, there is a slight sadness in it which neither my subject nor me expected. Everytime I look at it, I can almost feel her thought process. I love both the simplicity and complexity of it.
And when my dreams have all faded, you still remain...

A portrait of a young woman showing her darker side under a shadow play.
Sometimes, simplicity is best. Meet Lily, my over-dramatic, fashion-forward bestie. Always done up, I aimed to capture the natural beauty of Lily. Using an accented analogous technique, I took this photo in beside a small window in Lily's Toronto dorm room. As students, money was (and is) slim, I used a piece of dollar-store bristol board for my backdrop, and we scrounged Lily's ever-growing closet for matching colours. A natural light portrait that remains one of my favourite portraits.
