The Lamb.
The Lamb, das Lamm.
Da steht es. Schaut dich an, wendet sich weg.
Du schaust es an; passt es in die Umgebung, in den Kontext?
Du schaust es wieder an, wendest dich weg. berührst, fühlst, betastest es.
In unser Leben treten Situationen, Anblicke, Geschehnisse, die wir nicht zuordnen können, die nicht zu passen scheinen. Machen wir das Beste daraus!
Danke, Emilia.
A Wing Made of Disappearance
„A Wing Made of Disappearance“ is part of a long term project. The series “Featherest” explores moments of dissolution, transition, and the shifting boundaries of identity. The figure within the work does not function as a portrait but as a surface for projection—an entity suspended between visibility and disappearance. It is less a photo of something than a photo about something: an image that resists depiction in favor of evocation.
Through controlled motion, blurred contours, and the presence of dark, feather-like structures, the series creates a visual language of transformation. These forms operate simultaneously as shield, veil, and catalyst, suggesting both protection and metamorphosis. The body becomes an impression rather than an object—an emotional resonance rather than a fixed shape.
Light fractures the form; shadow gathers around it. In this collision of atmosphere and gesture, photography moves toward painting, toward something more fluid and uncertain. The work dwells in the in-between: the moment where identity becomes mutable, where the self is revealed not through clarity but through its unraveling.
“Featherest” invites the viewer into this threshold space—a place where the image does not explain but suggests, where interpretation becomes an act of intimacy, and where the unseen becomes momentarily perceptible.

Dancing in the Darkness
Tanz. Dunkelheit. Schwarzweiß.
Jovanna schwingt das Tuch, die Schleife. Immer wieder sich drehend, beugend, wieder aufstehend, so verschafft sie dem Betrachter viele Ansichten.
Danke, Jovanna.

Echoes of Heritage
An alpine dairyman in the rhythm of Goaßlschnölln – a gesture that carries echoes of the mountains. It is not only movement, but memory: heritage woven into sound and motion. Within a gallery of diverse visions, this image speaks as a cultural voice: Tradition as resonance, guiding the future.

An Empowering Journey
Nude photography, when approached as a personal journey, is less about exposure and more about finding yourself. It invites us to see the human body not as something to hide or judge, but as a landscape of form, light, and story. We learn to love ourselves, no matter our looks, imperfections, or age.
When you’re in front of a camera, you can’t hide behind anything. What remains is honesty—an authenticity that can feel both fragile and empowering.
When we see how light plays on our skin, we treat our bodies with more care. The body is no longer an object of comparison, but a vessel of life and expression.
Nude photography can help us heal, fight shame, and find our own definition of beauty. It is about the inner change, not just the images. It is a practice of honesty, empowerment, and connection—an art form that teaches us to see the human body, and ourselves, with dignity and wonder.

Gib Jovanna einen Stuhl und schon beginnt die Reise durch die Posen. Linksgedreht, rechtsgestreckt, Blick zum Himmel oder erdwärts…
Hat Spaß gemacht!
Flüstern im Fokus
Wenn wir uns auf die leisen Details konzentrieren – feine Halme, weiches Moos, ein Hauch von Licht – flüstert die Natur uns zur Ruhe.
