Thanks to @_kirstenwe from Bielefeld. For this photo, we went to a parking garage. The light and the wind were perfect at that moment and @_kirstenwe did some very cool poses.<br /> Special thanks to @werkraum.bielefeld who made this shooting possible!
Thanks to my model @vaneschkal from Burghausen. For our shooting, we met in Bonn and every shot we took was spontaneous, also with this photo. We saw this beautiful light passing through an inconspicuous construction site fence and I tried to create some crazy shadows on @vaneschkal's face, positioning her the right way beside the fence.
Many thanks to the Canarian Model @nizast for this awesome experience. On a stormy morning, we met at the Beach El Confital in the North of Gran Canaria. It was raining and quite cold, but I loved the dramatic scenery with the menacing waves and rocky landscape around us.
many thanks to @cara.mash who went a long way for this shooting. originally we planned to shoot somewhere in the center of cologne. but when I picked her up at the train station, we saw this construction site, perfectly fitting her outfit.
normally I don't shoot cosplay, but I couldn't get this spider girl idea out of my head. many thanks to @mascha_sonnenschein who did an amazing job. you can see the full series in my Instagram feed.
thanks to @katharina__la for this epic photo. for this spontaneous shot, I just photographed through a window somewhere in the streets of frankfurt.
Thanks to the amazing @yve_ninety_two. All we created in Frankfurt that day, was completely spontaneous. Special thanks to @denis_behrens_picturesworld for making this shooting possible.
Thanks to the model @wondershei for an amazing and creative day in Hannover. Here we tried some storytelling at a farm in the model's home town.
This spontaneous shot was taken in Frankfurt. Many thanks to the model @kim.berleeey. Fortunately, it was quite windy, so that her hair has been blown up. Light on her skin was created by a sun reflection on a windowpane.
Many thanks to @gleyrybatista from Wuppertal for so many incredible shots. We improvised the entire shooting. That's what makes this photo so unique.

With my model Beatriz, we wanted to try something new and unusual, so while she was standing still, my assistant was shaking her hair from side to side. This how we got this effect of "moving hair".
I took this photo during our workshop outdoors "Walking with the ballet dancer". This was a great experience. Street photography is one of my favorite genres.
This is one of the pictures of my Workshop Cosplay. Cristina is the perfect model and actress, she plays Merida from the movie "Brave".
Portrait of a beautiful model Beatriz. I took this photo in my studio using soft-box light and natural window light. Makeup and hair also done by me.

This is Agnese. She posed very naturally and wanted some new pictures of her current shape. This is one of the pictures we selected.
These two beautiful British Shorthair cats posed for a few moments in the studio. It wasn't really hard to make the pictures of the cats separately but together was a challenge.
Strange times we are living in at the moment. A lot of shoots got canceled so I had some time to make some new "selfies" in my studio. This is one of the results.
What a great couple was this! We did a lot of different sets, this is one of my favorites of this set. It was a pleasure taking pictures
This is Tyron Lardy, a member of the Dutch Karate team. We did this shoot with some smoke and some color at the end of the shoot with this photo as a result.

This is Tyron Lardy, a member of the Dutch Karate team. We did this shoot in my studio for his sponsor Arawaza. This was shot with a two-light setup.
This is Demi, we did a little make-over photoshoot. She posed very naturally and I had a lot of fun in the studio with her and the MUA.
This is Ashley. We did a fun photoshoot in lingerie, this was one of the first shots during this shoot and already a great picture in.
Sometimes mini shoots can surprise you, this was one of these surprises... What a beautiful dog is an Australian Cattle Dog.

My model Dina is a very handsome and happy personality. With her, the shooting in the city was a lot of fun and we made a lot of great photos. <br /> One of them is this one, called "see the sights of Bern". It is an example of the mood on the set.
This type of photoshoot with a Model and a classic Porsche 911 was already planned last year. Due to various reasons, I could just recently realize it. With my model Daiana, we made so many great photos, I am still overwhelmed. <br /> One of them is this "Are you ready a for a ride ... with me?"
It was an unfriendly, rainy day. My model Slavica and I had imagined it to be very different. But we took it as it was and made some really great photos, especially because it was raining.<br /> This is one of my favorites. I named it "a walk in the rain".
In this photo, I called it "Pay attention to the details", my model Daiana is renewing her lipstick. A photo that impresses with its details and bokeh. It is just one of many great photos from the series with my great model and a Porsche classic car.<br /> The light source was used natural light only.
In Bern, there was this wide old staircase. And then there was Jovana with her hat, my absolutely breathtaking looking model. One of the results of this photoshoot is this picture, which I called "I have my hat on". I am still thrilled and hope you're too. Only natural light was used.
It was a beautiful warm summer evening when I met my Model Vanessa to take some shots out in the fields not far away from where we live. The selected photo, I called it "an evening in the fields", is just one of the many fantastic photos we made during this evening. I retouched the pictures to get these brown warm colors for a unique look. The light source was natural light only.
In this photo shooting with Agata the goal was to make a lot of boudoir style shots. One of them was a series in a dress on the couch. I love the perspective and the edit in this brown matte tone fits perfectly. I called it "Sensual times at home". For this picture, I used natural light only.
This was my first photo shooting with Tanja but hopefully not the last ;-) We had the idea the make some cool City leather fashion shoots (we made them too) but we ended in a Hotel nearby and made these fantastic portraits. I love her pose on the chair and the editing in that shade of bronze that goes perfectly with the whole picture. I called it "What a beautiful story" because she looked at me like she was hearing a story I was telling her. For this picture, I used natural light only.
My Model Jana and I made a few sets with this nice red dress. This Picture is inspired by the Helvetia on the backside of the Swiss Francs coins. I love it. I call this picture "The Pose". I used natural light only.
I saw these stacks of wood at a sawmill and I knew this is a great place to get some fantastic pictures of my model Jana. Check out her eyes and her freckles. Beautiful, isn't it? I call this picture "The secret in her eyes".<br /> I used natural light only.
