Thirtieth Collection

I take the photos of my models so natural and beautiful as possible.
The posing is in this case very essential for me.
Another important aspect of my work is pleasure ... for my model and for me.
Thank you Jennifer
You are great!

Best man is getting ready to give the speech off his life, you can read it from his face. I made this Photo on a open street in a muscle car.

This beautiful girl, Sina, and me are taking dancing classes together. Even though I knew her, it took me many, many month before I finally dared to ask her if she would be interested in a little photoshoot. As you can see, she was ;) We spent the late afternoon, taking some pictures in my living room and on my balcony. It was a relaxed and fun shoot :) Thank you dear Sina for your time and your trust!

Just for fun I made some Pictures of my Business collegue Nicky, first in Business Dress and then without top with his Fitness trainend Body. He really has Model potential :-)

A key element for this shoot was fireweed. I wanted to create a very autumn look with it.
Cloudy september sunday, yet the colors were stunning.

Natural light, 50mm lens.

This Picture was taken during a Workshop class at a local shopfloor where historical trains are restored. The day light Comes from Windows on the right. It was great working with Sina, Sacha & Pascale!

This picture is called "watching cartoons", because this snapshoot has been made during Kids are watching cartoons on a smatphone. The perfect light on the boys face was from the smartphone and I think that the Pic is very cute. I love it.

For this photoshoot I wanted the shoes to be the star of the photo. Also I wanted to show the nicely shaped body of the model and show her muscles.

The idea was from the makeup-artist, all I had to do was to take the picutre. The black and white version of this picutre is amazing too.

My first photo shoot with Onil. He was rarely in front of the camera. In my opinion, he is a huge natural talent and should definitely be booked more. Thanks for the great day with you.

This is one of my favourite images from a boudoir session. My model is a young mother who wanted to capture these images to surprise her husband - and herself. She was amazing throughout the whole session and the three of us - model, stylist and photographer - made a good team. My work usually focuses on maternity and newborn sessions but it is fun to do something different from time to time and I'm starting a to develop a real passion for boudoir photography as well.

At the back of the studio, we got our model Cristina to pose against this corrugated steel background, in this outdoor natural light black and white image.

"My last, tonight" means my last cigarette for tonight and shows my beautiful model Mirjam smoking her cigarette with pleasure. A nice detail is, that the smoke is so clearly visible. The light comes from the street lamps only.
