Angel in the Dark

Tulpenstaub. Der Name hat mich gleich gefangen genommen. Hier trägt Tulpenstaub Flügel, präsentiert sie in schwarzweiß, in dunkler Kulisse.

Und doch ist sie es, die das Monochrom farbig erscheinen lässt, das Dunkel hell. Es ist ihr Wesen, ihre Ausstrahlung, die mich gefangen nimmt.

Angel in the Dark, Engel in der Dunkelheit; das ist Licht vom Himmel.

Danke, Tulpenstaub!

Skin Deep

Skin Deep - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Stephen Wong / 24.12.2025 06:10

No one is perfect, and no body is perfect. While your skin appears perfect superficially, skin blemishes and other marks show if you look closely. That’s only natural. Our skin, the largest and most visible organ in the human body, protects us from the environment and plays an essential role in our physical appearance. Sometimes, our skin sustains damage, injuries, and scars. Wear them proudly and appreciate them as reminders received in the line of duty.

We have diverse body shapes because of our heritage, age, genetic makeup, lifestyles, and other factors. Social conventions might suggest that some bodies are more perfectly shaped than others, but body shape is subjective and fluid.

Unlike many other nude photography styles, one appeal of artistic nude photography can be empowering. It is more accepting of body shape and size, whether curvy or slim, older or younger, pale or dark complexion, etc. Perfection is not always essential; body and skin imperfections can add to the impact and narrative.

With modern, sophisticated photo editing software, indulging in skin retouching and manipulating body shape can be tempting. Whether you choose to do it and to what extent is the artist’s decision. Unlike documentary and journalistic photography, artistic photography does not impose authenticity.

Ultimately, successful artistic nude images are the culmination of hard work, creativity, skills, and a little luck. Art is created. It would be a shame not to allow others to share and appreciate it.

The Mirror Learns to Speak

The Mirror Learns to Speak - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Thomas Gerwers / 22.12.2025 13:26

A fragment from a series in progress—

an exploration of narcissism not as vanity,

but as a fracture in perception.

Where the body seeks confirmation,

the reflection answers with invention.

Where the gaze looks for certainty,

the mirror returns a question.

This work is not about admiration—

it is about dependence,

about the quiet negotiations

between longing and illusion.

A study of how we watch ourselves—

and how, eventually,

the watching begins to watch back.

Where the Light Touches First

Where the Light Touches First - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Thomas Gerwers / 20.12.2025 11:02

Sometimes closeness doesn’t begin in the hands,

but in the hesitation before them.

A body holding itself

not to hide—

but to speak without speaking.

Here, skin becomes a threshold,

light becomes invitation,

and a sideways glance becomes a question

that needs no answer.

Somewhere between retreat and opening

lives a single breath of courage.

And maybe that is already enough.

Instinct, Folded Inward

Instinct, Folded Inward - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Thomas Gerwers / 17.12.2025 07:57

She stands where shadow tightens its grip,

arms crossed not to hide, but to listen.

The body remembers what language forgets:

the quiet weight of instinct,

the tenderness of restraint,

the animal patience of becoming.

Antlers curve like thoughts that never fully leave the mind —

present, hovering, protective.

Not a pose, but a pause.

Not surrender, but concentration.

A moment where strength turns inward

and waits.
