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 über die Geschichten aus dem Buch gesprochen und wie alles entstanden ist.

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.
With the new possibilities that AI offers in image processing, the question of how to deal with it morally also arises. Which use is justifiable? I have tried to create guidelines for myself and would like to communicate them transparently.
Every year, I look forward to my annual end of the year article. It's the longest and most detailed article of the year. Reviewing the entire year is always nice for me too. Only this year, it's kind of hard for me. I don't feel like I've experienced any real highlights and I'm saddened by world events.
Nowadays, photos are taken all the time, but many people don't like to be photographed. They are afraid of not being photogenic. As a photographer, this angers me and I wonder what role the psyche actually plays in being photographed. It's a fascinating topic if you dive deep into it.
For the past few years, I have traditionally offered a quartet of small artworks in museum grade quality in passepartouts in December. This year three new series are available again. But already in November.
Are you a morning person or a night owl? This question has been debated for decades, with some people believing that the early bird catches the worm, while others swear by the saying, the night is young. In the world of photography, this debate is particularly relevant, as the timing of photo shoots can be critical to the success of a project.
Escape the winter chill and join me in the stunning paradise of the Canary Islands this upcoming December 2023 and February 2024.

Attentive readers of my blog know that I have always been critical of social media. Nevertheless, I have been active on many platforms for many years. Since the summer of this year, however, I have prescribed myself a social media detox. And this is how I feel about it.
Mallorca, the picturesque Mediterranean island, is renowned for its stunning beaches and vibrant tourist spots. But there's so much more to this island paradise than what meets the eye. I am happy to announce a new pictorial in Playboy, at newsstands from now.
Since 2019 I'm working on my new coffee table book and all the work on it I keep secret. Next year my book will be published and now there is something to see for the first time. Because by a funny coincidence I appear on television. During my work on a new photo series with recreational vehicles.

I just read in an internet forum that Simon Bolz will have it even harder in the future because models will be generated by artificial intelligence. So before it's too late, with a wink, I thought I'd bake myself my dream model.
Do you know it, when some foreign words just don't want to be memorized in your brain? There is this word that I sometimes need to describe a lifestyle that looks good in nude photography. It's about hedonism.
Before the pandemic, I had planned another book project. I wanted to dedicate a new coffee table book to the good old theme of cars and girls. This cliché topic suits me very well and I was very keen on it. I like cars as a location and I really enjoy photographing women and cars. But the zeitgeist…
I get asked quite often how one actually becomes a Playboy photographer. Often, photographers who actually photograph completely different things want to do it on the side. To check it off their bucket list, so to speak. Is this a good approach? There's always stagnation in the comfort zone, right?
