Fifth Collection

This was taken with someone who had done very little modelling in her past, and I had the opportunity to take some portraits with her. This was done using the clam shell method and using soft boxes. A pink paper backdrop was use in my studio flat.The hat was found in a charity shop. Misha Silva is a natural Portugese model with a beautiful face that just speaks to the camera.

For the shooting „dream worlds“ I did some thinking about the subject dreams. Dreams in themselves cannot be observed. They are never concrete…never tangible. We experience them only alone. Dreams are fragile and transient, but can be so strong that they „take us with them“…in one or the other way…positiv or negative.
While shooting it was important for me to make the invisible visible for the eye. As in a dream flowers, spiny flowers, roses and silver thistles appear to us through a translucent veil in the picture. The sleeping beauty makes us curious. What may she dream of? How long may she probably lie there. She appears like an angle. Her eyes are closed. We get the association of Snow White in the glass coffin. Nobody wants to disturb her long sleep. She rests in herself but everything else seems to be in progress - through the milky water or the translucent veil she takes us with in her dream worlds.

Melinda is a very lovely person and a nice model to work with. When i took that picture, it was the first time I photographed her. At the location I made this shot there was just available light, great to work to!

Sometimes, simplicity is best. Meet Lily, my over-dramatic, fashion-forward bestie. Always done up, I aimed to capture the natural beauty of Lily. Using an accented analogous technique, I took this photo in beside a small window in Lily's Toronto dorm room. As students, money was (and is) slim, I used a piece of dollar-store bristol board for my backdrop, and we scrounged Lily's ever-growing closet for matching colours. A natural light portrait that remains one of my favourite portraits.

My amazing model cum good friend, Nivetha Pethuraj, is a very talented actress and I had the privilege of doing a mini photoshoot for her during her short visit to my city. She is an amazing person with a beautiful soul and I am so glad that my first award is for a picture of my super awesome friend!

A dark portrait using natural light whose subject has a resemblance to Arya of House Stark. I tried to capture the darkness of the girl both in her eyes and the environment she is present at in a mysterious and eerie way.

And when my dreams have all faded, you still remain...

A great Shooting with the beautiful Nathalie. It was my first shooting with her. I experimented with light. And during editing of this image I tried different styles. In the end I used less contrast, and black version and a very soft and tender mood.

Taken in the street in Cassis in France. This was a tramp who was resting from the hot sun outside a shop. I asked if I could take his picture and gave him some money for his time. I wanted to do a mono but with a slight hint of colour _ especially the eyes. This is a tight crop on his face. Natural light only.

Lisa is one of my favourite models. I took the photo when i visited a good friend of mine in germany. In his kitchen there was such a great incident light, so that I immidiately knew that this will be a wonderful shot! The picture was taken just with the available light there.

Let Them Eat Cake
This photo session was inspired by Marie Antoinette and the Victorian era! It was shot in a porch using all authentic and antique furniture and props and it was the model's first photoshoot! I am thrilled with how these photos turned out!

Another work with the beautiful model KC. She had the idea for this styling and for a while I did not know how to transform it into an image. Then one day I had the idea of a forest with stars and little fireflies or something like that. I tried this and that and in the end it was that :-)
