Finally, I have a little more to tell. Because this story is particularly close to my heart. Cheerleading as a topic. What a brilliant idea. I'm delighted that no one has thought of this before me.

I like it when women can dance. Dance is also a form of courtship in humans. I find it very appealing to watch a body in motion. When it moves with verve and the rhythm carries you along.
If you ever come to the island of Ibiza, make sure you visit the rocks of Es Vedra. You won't be the only one. The place is usually a tourist magnet and yet the view from the cliff is absolutely captivating.
When I'm out and about for shoots, I often come across garbage. It never ceases to frustrate me and I don't understand it at all. It's an annoying topic.
Because they look much more realistic, night shots are now actually filmed at night. This is called night-for-night. But in my series with Effy I was inspired by the good old day-for-night style.
There is an old house in the forest that has been beautifully renovated. I photographed Viesta there. And accompanied her for a day with my camera.
As a photographer, my mission is to capture fleeting moments and give them permanence. Beauty is ephemeral, but a well-taken photograph can make it immortal. Do you feel the desire to collect beautiful images? Then I have just the thing for you.
Some of the pages in my book feel strange to me. I spend a whole day with a model on an island and still only get four pictures in the book. That feels odd.
As you can easily see from the title of the series, we are in Italy. In ancient Rome, to be precise. I never had Latin at school, but Dulce Periculum fitted in well as a title for this series for me. It means sweet temptation.
Music is the best way to get into a relaxed mood. When is that more important than during a nude shoot? To avoid always playing the same songs, I put together a new playlist for the production of my latest photo book.
The pretty chambermaid who is cheeky and seduces you. A forbidden scene in this day and age. So absurd that I simply had to take a slightly ironic photo series of this topic.
I have been going to Fuerteventura in winter for over 10 years to produce photo series. Each time I try to do something new and not to repeat myself. Over the years, of course, this has become more and more of a challenge.
Some models do their thing without attracting much attention. One of them is Avery. I had my first shoot with her in winter and it was fine. When I was able to photograph her again in the summer, I was blown away.
I met Hermann, the owner of the 1972 Opel GT, at a shoot for Playboy. At the time, I was photographing an Opel Manta that was celebrating its 50th anniversary and he told me about his yellow speedster.
Taking photos in a greenhouse is actually a classic. And yet I've never done it before. I just didn't have the right little house. Then I discovered this tiny orangery…
Camping has become very popular again in Germany, at least since the pandemic. Many people have converted old vans and a kind of van life fever has broken out. Everything has always been bigger in the USA and when I saw an American motorhome for the first time, it was a completely different feeling.
I spent a whole day in Ibiza with Tezz. I wanted to work with her by the sea, but the weather was dreadful. Rain, wind and 13 degrees. I had imagined things differently.
What is the coffee table book »Mellow« about? I was asked this last summer when I first mentioned my new book and it was a good question. It forced me to put the common thread into words, to structure my thoughts and to verbally draw the bow.
Stefan and Timo from the podcast After Shooting End spoke with me about my new photo book. As the talk is in German, I will switch to German now. Wir haben mehr als zwei Stunden ΓΌber die Geschichten aus dem Buch gesprochen und wie alles entstanden ist.
Auf YouTube sehe ich mir viele Beiträge von Fotografen an. Manchmal sind es Kameratests oder spannende Lichtaufbauten. Am liebsten sind mir aber persönliche Einblicke in die Arbeit anderer Fotografen. Und jetzt bin ich selbst mal einer davon.
As a nude photographer, I have never been a missionary. Everyone should be free to decide whether they want to see nude photos or not. Whether they like my pictures or not. In this article I would like to draw attention to how artists like me are often discriminated against. It's a topic that is hardly ever talked about, yet it hurts.
It's done! After my books »Frisky« (2014) and »Sublime« (2018), I am happy to announce that my third coffee table book »Mellow« is now printed. As with my previous books, I was at the printing house for the entire printing process. Here is a little insight into the long day.
A sale with a discount is normally made when something doesn't sell. Due to German legislation, however, this is different for my book.
After Frisky and Sublime, here comes my third photo book. I've named it Mellow. The title has been fixed for a year and a half and I've been working on the pictures since 2019, so I'm all the more pleased to finally be able to tell you about it.
