Fifty-Sixth Collection

I met Chris (@chrisclips) at @swissinstameet, but we didn't have enough time to shoot nor was I already experienced. But he stayed in my mind and I took the opportunity to meet him again. Boy did we have a blast that day! The creative outburst was awesome and all of the pictures turned out great to say the least.

During COVID-19 lockdown and limited opportunities for traveling, it's a special pleasure to find unusual places in your own home town. This is a real Japanese garden in Munich which turned into a true autumn fairy tail!

Title: Gardenia is waiting for me. She waited for me in the north of the city, in a bubble of flowers in the garden of a building. A green and natural patch that shone with color and splendor in the middle of the asphalt. The day didn’t disappoint us, the city surprised us by showing the sun pouring into the welcoming breeze. So we can remember that magical moment.

This is a quinceañera photoshoot, quinceañera is the sweet sixteen in Latin America, we chose the Kauffman center for the performing arts as a background because of the impressive architecture of the building. We went early in the morning for 2 reasons, 1. To avoid crowds and 2. Take advantage of the golden hour. I think the beautiful dress is a perfect contrast with the background. Love how the photo came out and the opportunity that Mother Nature gave me that day for this photo.

Mia is a wonderful pre-pro dancer at the Master Ballet Academy and I was blessed to have a very short opportunity to work with her while I was in Phoenix. Follow her on Instagram at @ballerina_mia

The lighting setup was super easy and simple. 2 Godox AD200 with a magmod dome diffuser on each.

Pearls Daily is an actress and showgirl, based in NYC. She is known for her “Old Hollywood essence and modern sensibility.” For this shoot, we wanted to create a sense of both of those things, a modern woman, strong and playful with a nod to the sexy, glamorous actresses of the past.

This shot is from a session creating new black and white portrait styles with stark contrasts. In order to reflect the lockdown context, my husband couldn’t see a hairdresser and had to grow a beard. This is one of my favorite shots of the session.

We went to the mountain "Rigi" for some dreamy pictures with great views. It was a super foggy day, so we focused on portraits. It was a really cold day but i'm still in love with the outcome.

Three little women with their best friends. Those three little women are actually three sisters, and they pose with their best friends, each and everyone a rescue dog. I wanted to show the connection between them and their dogs in the old painterly style that I love so much.

It was a home shooting with the amazing Lara Vogel. This Portrait was created on the terrace on a rainy day, so the light was very soft.

The photo was taken with my Nikon d750 and 50mm lens. We were on a walk with my friends and I was trying my color filters. I think the experiment is successful. I'm very satisfied with the result. Everything is matching: the filter, the girl, the mood and it was the super bloom of Poppy seeds in California.

Serf is 5 years old, a little nervous he approached the session but immediately connected with the moment and showed a vulnerability any photographer would appreciate. He is a very brave young soul.

Together with the wonderful model Aita (@ac.just.me) i created this picture in a motorcycle shop for the fashion brand kingkerosin.

This Shoot was on such an amazing Summer Day with Franziska Engeldinger near my Studio. We used a Tree to get these amazing effects in the foreground.

Model: Franziska Engeldinger
Photo & Retouch: Mystic Moments

This 2-year old girl had no idea what was going on, but she was prepared to give her most innocent look for this image in my studio. Her parents were very proud of her and we also did some pictures with the whole family. Some time later the father of this girl sent me a picture of his leg . A tatoo artist copied this picture on his leg. This picture of his daughter will be going with him the rest of his life.

Thank you very much for the apreciation of this picture.

The main idea behind this photograph was to show the flow of life in general. Red was an accent, it symbolizes life itself, movement, passion, and the frantic rhythm of the modern world. But at the same time, through the candles, I wanted to show that time is running out and running faster than life itself. What is important sometimes to stop and feel life as it is!

This "gold" concept was brought to me by makeup artist Pathivi Kumari (IG: @parthivi_mua).
Parthivi is a graduate of the John Casablanca's Institute in Vancvouer, BC.
Modeling the look was by Marie Elise (IG: @marie.elise__).

A shoot with Chantal. This is one of the pictures I selected as favorite and this was one of the last pictures we did in this shoot. We also did some fitness outfits, so maybe I will be submitting that next month.

Beautiful model Fabiana posing for me during the last minutes of the sunset. Catching the sun before it disappears behind the trees.

Another breathtaking shot of @yve_ninety_two during our photo session in Frankfurt. I love capturing reflections in windows. Many thanks to Yve for two unique photo sessions, hopefully, we meet again next year!
