The Bonanza bicycle featured a banana seat and was named in homage to the cool and rebellious style of chopper motorcycles. As a child, I had no idea about this. Consequently, the name Bonanza always puzzled me because there was this Bonanza Western TV series, and cowboys were supposed to ride horses, not bicycles.

There are moments in an artist's life when you wonder if the world has completely lost its mind. One such moment was recently bestowed upon me by YouTube's staff, who I suspect must lead quite an adventurous love life. How else could I explain their latest decision? They've banned a trailer for my new photo book from their platform. A trailer, mind you, that I had already censored so thoroughly that even the Vatican's art commission would have found nothing to object to.
The 90s were the best time after all. I have memories of techno nights in the club. There was this song called "The Realm". A woman moans phrases like "Something for your mind your body and your soul" and "Hot like the sun and wet like the rain" into the microphone.
Here I sit in front of my work, unable to let go. Too many images that mean something to me. Authors call it kill your darlings — this painful process of cutting out favorite passages that may be beautiful but don't serve the bigger picture.
In Greek mythology, the Mother of Eros is usually considered to be the goddess Aphrodite. Eros is the god of love, and Aphrodite is considered his mother.
The Airstream is the rock star of caravans, so to speak. Created by Wally Byam in the 1930s, this camper van rocked the streets with its cool, silver aluminum look, which earned it the nickname Silver Bullet.
Here are four more pictures from the great outdoors. With Tezz on Ibiza. In the rain, cold and wind. These are the rough motifs at the place Tezz had suggested to me.
Imagine this: A 208-page book, packed with beautiful images, is going on a world tour. It's my photo book! Here's a little glimpse into where my book has already made its way.
In addition to suspender belts, ears are also a regular accessory in my pictures. It's not really cosplay, but the reference to comics is definitely there. I had never used fox ears before.
In my job, it's important to have a good knowledge of human nature. After all, I'm constantly dealing with new people. It's usually only a few hours and I have to adapt to my counterpart in a very short space of time, find common ground and create a flow.
I bet you cannot spontaneously enumerate all the colours of the rainbow and their order. Fear not: you're in good company! Whilst we've all marvelled at these magnificent arcs gracing our skies, there's a lot of knowledge behind rainbows that might surprise you.
I knew that I would love to work with Lina Linn again. But I didn't know when and where. When I came across a pair of white and blue cowboy boots and a white country kitchen, my visual idea was born.
Escape the winter chill and join me in the stunning paradise of Tenerife this upcoming February 2024. Whether you're a content creator looking to amplify your social media presence, a model with dreams of gracing the pages of Playboy, or an individual seeking a private and discreet photo session, this is your chance to capture unforgettable moments in the breathtaking settings of Tenerife.
This is the only series that I took in two different years. Darina surprised me so positively at our first meeting that I wanted to take bonus pictures for the book. I used the color red as my theme. In each picture, Darina is wearing a different item of red clothing. Don't worry, it's not that many clothes.
Erwin gave me the tip about the location. Many thanks for that. And, of course, many thanks to the Seligenstadt pinball museum. The German crime series Ein Fall für Zwei has also been set here twice. And now, I was finally able to turn my wish to shoot a nude model with slot machines into reality.
It's my pleasure to announce my calendar for the coming year. At the moment, I'm quite euphoric because I feel it's the best calendar I've photographed so far. As the saying goes: Self-praise stinks. Therefore, please form your own opinion.
Of all my photo series, I think this one has the coolest title. I think it could be the title of a movie. I can't help but think of Pierre Richard in The Tall Blonde with the Black Shoe, although my series has nothing to do with it. Well, at least model Zu is also tall and blonde.
Poolside Sheriff sounds kind of funny. And that's why I chose this title for my set with Alice. It's the second time that a series with Sheriff in the title is in my book, but since the titles are only at the end in small letters in the table of contents, it's ok.
Plagiarism is the misappropriation of someone else's intellectual work. So obviously you can't plagiarize yourself. What do you call it when you imitate yourself? That's exactly what I did in this series.
The theme of women in nature is a classic motif. Despite everything, it is difficult for me. I have to admit that. I don't like photos that look too heavy. That seem too artistic. So somehow forced. I have to feel an image and sometimes this is very difficult for me with naked women in nature.
Nothing in my photos happens by chance. And yet I allow myself a lot of spontaneity and I try out many things. Sometimes I throw the results away because I don't like them. My approach to my shoots is always similar.
Today, I'd like to make you a special offer. As you know, my photo book »Mellow« is very close to my heart. Now I thought: Why not combine business with pleasure?
In winter, when it's gray and dark outside, the mood is completely different than in summer. Perhaps you've felt that too. A candle inspired me to create my series with Kiki.
Classical image analysis in visual arts involves a structured examination of a work of art in order to understand its various elements, techniques and meanings. As I studied art, we will look at the pair of pictures Pink Painter together, today.
