Natasha is a natural and sensual beauty, every image always a great success. She needs no elaborate garments, just a piece of flowing silk.

I've always wanted an Irish Setter dog when I was younger, I really love this dogbreed. Unfortunately my partner in crime didn't want a dog with long hair, so instead of the Irish setter we have a Hungarian vizsla at the moment (who is also the best we could wish for). Still I had this wish to have an Irish Setter in front of my lens, and so sweet Sepp came along. I found his owners at Social Media and invited them to come to my workshop with Sepp. The rest is history ;)

The man could be a metaphor for someone reaching a moment of realization, self-acceptance, or surrender after a long period of struggle or transition. The scattered suitcases represent his past, his burdens, or emotional baggage, which he may be in the process of unpacking or letting go of. The pelican adds an air of companionship or guidance, suggesting that he is not alone on this journey of self-discovery. The reflective water hints at inner depth and emotional clarity.

Overall, the image feels like a meditation on life’s journey, emotional release, and personal growth.

Beautiful Bengal cat Boo, posing for my camera during a beautiful summer evening. He really did amazing! Boo was the first cat I ever photographed and I absolutely loved it!

Tom came with his younger brother for a photoshoot. After taking pictures together, they each had solo photos taken as well. Smiling in a photo is often nice, but a serious expression can be very powerful.
