What a wonderful start into 2019. I am happy to announce that I photographed the Playmate series for Playboy Germany February 2019. I will let you glimpse behind the scenes of the production.

I discovered additional footage that I filmed as behind the scenes from working with the girls for my book Sublime. So, I cut it together for you to see. I guess, it's not about travel, it's about freedom.

2018 – my annual review

If I was to describe the past year with one adjective, it would be 'full'. For me, the year was packed with amazing journeys, a lot of work and not much time in between. It's better than the opposite though and looking back, it's hard to believe what I have been all up to.

Talk with Martin Krolop

When Martin heard I was making a new book, he invited me over to Cologne to speak about it on camera. We had a very spontaneous meeting and talked for about 45 minutes about my latest book. The interview is in German.

Cover for Playboy Germany

Photographers are vain people. They live for applause. Maybe it's not such much about vanity, but about being seen and appreciated for what you do. So, I am very grateful that my work has been put on the cover of Playboy Cars, November 2018 issue.
