Seventy-Fifth Collection

This is one of my favourite pictures from the photoshoot with my amazing model, Ana.
I photographed this in Dubai, in the desert, just before sunset using only natural light.
The whole photo-session was arranged solely by me. The dress my model, Ana, is wearing was also designed by me. I bought the material and found an amazing local tailor to make it, and it comes with a 3 meter trail.
Ana loved playing dress up, as much as I loved photographing her in it.
Funny story is, before the session even began, my car wheels had got stuck in the dunes and we almost missed the natural light, before sunset and pitch darkness came, but thankfully a lovely Emirati family came to the rescue. Thanks so much!

Still, I loved everything about this day , the challenges we faced and overcame, and seeing my vision come to life.
I call this photo "Dubai Desert Goddess"

Created in the heart of Montreux, Switzerland, during a homeshooting. Only with daylight, pure sensuality. Many thanks to the wonderful model Olivia.

How will I know, have you the time?

After a long time I shot with her again. My amazing model Sunce posed in front of a wall where the shadows from a window projected a pattern onto her and the wall behind. I called this picture "In Shadows".

I only used natural light.

This photo was taken at the first shooting with the model Kathi in the city of Zurich. In the open shade by the river it had this wonderful light that we used for this shot.
Thank you Kathi @hannahs_otherhood for your fantastic commitment.

It takes dedicationto get up a 4am in the morning to photo shoot in the first sun rays of the day but it is worth every hour of investement. I am glad I could rely on a very passionate model joining me for this early bird photo shooting.

This is one of my favourite pictures from the first shoot with Flutra.
This photo was taken at a special Lostplace in Switzerland.
I only used natural light.

This is my first self portrait. It is very difficult to photograph yourself. But I figured out how, using a doll head. Now that there is a great place and I don't have a model, I can be a model.

This is photo of Camila during the trunk show at the African Fashion Week in Zürich. I had to work with available light in different colors. So I decided to create a black and white version of the picture. Model: @camila_galla

This photo I've taken in Italy at an abandoned place. We were a group of 3 photographers and one Model. Each of us had planned to work alone together with the model for one hour. I met this model for the first time. But I'm very happy about the results.

We had this shooting in Zurich's west-end in the morning of a public holiday. So there were not so many people on the road like on a normal working day. But still Violeta brought traffic to a standstill.

Sacrifices, how much are you willing to sacrifice to follow your dreams? You have embrace the darkness of arduous times and use it as tool for motivation to keep going. For the darker the abyss that is overcome by human willpower, the greater the light is on the other side. Sacrificing everything you have to follow your dreams. It's the Deliverance from evil.

This picture is one of several photos of my model. Thanks very much. I like it very much.
Another job that only uses natural light ...

Maternity photoshoot with a fabric tossing.
Flying material is a great way to make your images flawless and magical.
This shot made in my photo studio in North Hollywood, California

This is a portrait of my kids in the creek that runs behind our house. This was shot with a NikonZ6 and a sigma HSM 85mm 1.4 at golden hour.

This picture of the beautiful @saskiafreriks was taken in the old town of Wil. It was one of the first time, Saskia stand in the front of a camera, but she is an amazing model and very talented.

Comme les plus lointains souvenirs s'assemblent, je croise forcément son regard
Elle m'a appris à jouer aux dames et à écrire mon prénom en attaché »
