In the relentless stream of images flooding our screens, a quiet undercurrent is gaining momentum in the world of photography. It's a return to the essence of the craft, a gentle rebellion against the tyranny of the algorithm. At least, I hope so.

The new year is barely two weeks old, and my head is already buzzing with ideas. While others are still shaking off their winter sluggishness, I'm planning my first-ever book tour through Germany. Yes, you read that right — I'm going on tour. Well, "tour" might sound a bit grandiose for a photographer driving around with his photo book in the trunk. But that's exactly what I'm planning to do.
A year of transformation. As always, the end of the year brings my very personal review. A lot has happened in my life over the past months, and I'm looking forward to the new year with anticipation.
Women have long been told their bodies are sinful. Even today, women are raised not to show their pubic area under any circumstances. Vaginas are never seen in media except in pornography or medical situations. Isn't this puzzling in a society that claims to value freedom?
There were more women involved in this shoot than you would think. Anna recommended Lina as a model, Erika organized Cesira's garden for me and my wife ironed the white dress I had bought. I already knew Alina from our first shoot and knew that she is interested in art and lives and breathes photography.
Back in 2020 and 2022, I shared these winter drink recipes on my blog. Now that I'm running the blog in both English and German, I thought it would be perfect timing to revisit these recipes and share my little winter drink collection with all of you — whether you prefer your content in English or Deutsch.
Whenever I travel, I realize how important it is to get away from home. That sounds strange because when I'm at home, I don't really want to leave my familiar surroundings. I've set up a good infrastructure at home and can work very well. Our household is well organized, meals are planned, and I exercise five times a week.
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.
