Thirty-Second Collection

A photo says more than a word! Using one light and a beauty dish to bring her freckles out and capture her attitude!

Black and white capture the soul of the human.

A beautiful portret of a girl in ocher yellow. Her soft smile combines well with the background. The photo was taken during a shoot in the occasion of the 25th wedding jubilee of her parents.

Shay our model is posing in this high key lighting setup using a single strobe, bare bulb, creating the crisp shadow on the background.

Svenja has incredible eyes! You don't often see green eyes like that. Plus, she has freckles and red hair, a combination I really, really like! I hope to see her again soon, as she lives a couple of hundred kilometres away. But we both like to travel, so I'm sure we'll find a way :)

This picture was taken during a Workshop with the outstanding portrait photographer Anton Rothmund with the amazing Evelin when it was warm and sunny. Usually I hate the direct sun light but in this Picture I love the reflection on her hair which provides the something special I try to achieve on my work. Thank you Evelin and Toni!

With my great model Joyce we took some fantastic pictures. One of them was made on a bridge, where she was posing only in a black underware. This set was so simple that the resulting pictures reminded me of statues. That's why I called this picture "female statue". Only available light was used. From different sets this picture is one of my favorites of this photo shoot.

This is from one of my first maternity portrait sessions. I met the model in person just before the session. Even though she does not call herself a model and has never undressed in front of a camera, we were able to create some amazing series of portraits which can be seen on my web site under Maternity category.

After the family shooting, we spontaneously decided to do some more individual portraits. It was great. The picture was taken in an apartment in natural light.

Created at a portrait workshop with a very pretty model. I used a white background and one flash with a octabox.

This photo was taken at a local park in Johannesburg, South Africa
This particular shot was taken with a single flash using an 80cm octobox. I cropped this image tight with an 140mm lens F3.5 to show off her beautiful freckles.

This person has always inspired me. We have worked together and became best friends - we both share a passion for dance and photography so one day I asked him to pose for me to create and experiment in the streets of Stockholm (Sweden) This is one of the images that I felt in love with.

As she walked into my studio, I decided to paint and shape her face with the lights. I used 4 lights and trio reflector. Makeup was done by www.zydrezi.com .

This picture was taken shortly before sunset. I love the light at that time of the day, it's so beautiful and soft <3

My beautiful model Michele is a very sporty young woman. In the picture "Fall is coming" she puts on a hooodie whereby you can guess your muscles. In combination with her tattooes...perfect. For the picture only available light was used.

I love this picture because of your look and the shine in her eyes and the great colors as a result of the special color look.

This picture was taken 2018 during the Shooting Days in Germany. It was an amazing Location!

This is also from our first time working together with an aspiring model Larissa O. Here I used a champagne flute in front of the lens to create some blurry effect.

The photo was taken during an outdoor shoot at the end of November. Despite the cold temperatures, the model has given everything.
