One Hundred and Tenth Collection

There are shots with a whole story in them - childhood, dreams, purity and that fleeting glimpse that will never be seen again.

The girl at the wall. I placed @thalia_timm09 at a wall half shadow, half sunlight, in the parc of @schlossbenrath. Using a lens with f 1.8, I could add a beautiful bokeh and a light gradients to this black-and-white portrait just using the camera and the lens.

When children come in for a photoshoot, the beginning is always a bit scary and unfamiliar. After the first few photos, the awkwardness fades, and they start to feel more comfortable in front of the camera. A photoshoot should be fun for children, and what’s more fun than taking silly pictures alongside the smiling ones? A little goofing around during the shoot is important. And when children say afterward, 'That was fun, we’d love to do this again!', that’s when I know the shoot was a success!

Trying something different. New dress, clouds and sunny weather.

"Between the mists of the forest, she emerges — not merely walking through nature, but becoming one with it."

This portrait captures the essence of a woman rooted in quiet strength, ancient wisdom, and an unspoken connection to the mystery of life itself.

Inspired by the Dutch folklore of the Witte Wieven — wise women who moved between worlds — this image offers a modern interpretation of the legend.

With grace and depth, Priscilla transforms myth into memory. The result is not just a portrait, but a Legacy Portrait: a timeless piece of personal art that honours your story, your spirit, and your presence.

The Portrait Photo Awards proudly honors Derya Suter as one of this year’s select honorees. His arresting black-and-white portrait—remarkable for its razor-sharp detail, masterful lighting and profound emotional resonance—won special commendation from our international jury. Congratulations to Derya and all of our outstanding finalists.

The beautiful bond of siblings

A loving couple stands close, their foreheads touching.
She wears a dark coat and has shoulder-length brown hair; he, in a similar coat and a burgundy scarf, has short dark hair and a beard. Their similarities connecting them even more.
Their hands are gently clasped, with soft sunlight casting a warm glow over them. The blurred background suggests a calm outdoor setting. Making the scene more romantic and in the moment

My colleque Presley, he needed a cover for his Music Album and choosed exactly this pic, dreamy, emotions and vulnerable

The purity of the world lives in every glance of a child. Photography only gives us a chance to preserve this light for a lifetime.

Model @justyna_norelle

Livienne visited me on a warm and sunny day. I placed her in full sunlight to get a portrait with warm colors and contrasts.

Jort was one of the first boys I did a photoshoot with three years ago. Now, three years later, he returned to the studio. It was so much fun to do another shoot with him! We recreated photos from three years ago and also captured many other beautiful shots. The block Jort is sitting on I sometimes use, and it fits perfectly with this photo!
