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.

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 über 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.

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.

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.
