…a morning at the lake…
Backroom I
"In the amber glow of a forgotten hour, she holds her secrets close."
We dove into the dim light of a hidden backroom, a place that whispered secrets from the Prohibition era. We used the minimal light available that was spilling through a dusty small window and from old lamps, sometimes catching her features sharply, sometimes softly. The "Flapper Girl" concept came alive; you could feel the yearning for freedom and the sweet decadence of the "Roaring Twenties." Every click of the camera was like a toast with forbidden whiskey, capturing that rebellious, fleeting elegance.

Alter-Ego (Behind the Bunny Mask)
In the fall of 2023 I started this project. At first it was just because we needed something anonymous and somewhat Halloween themed.
During that first shoot I saw how she got into character. Transporting into this alter-ego character. With a little bit of anonymity from the mask there was suddenly so much freedom.
Then in 2024 I brought the idea to 5 more models and friends. We changed the settings and let them each bring their own alter-ego character to the woman behind the mask.
Now it's Halloween 2025 AND 4 more have added to their Alter Ego to the project.
Where is it going? First, it's certainly something that transcends a holiday!
Maybe it's a book, magazine, or prints…I'm not sure! But I know its rewarding to do something long term and also leaving flexibility to see where it leads you. It's so much better than "insta" "content".
Wabi-Sabi Artist Núria Gich
A few months back I did a photo session in-studio with Núria Gich, a local artist now living in Lanzarote. In exchange Núria offered me a painting of my choice but instead I asked if she could paint a creation on my garden wall which would also give me the opportunity to photograph the process of her creativity. As I sit here now at my computer I can let my eyes wander to the window and enjoy and admire her creation on the other side of my garden.
Im Spinnenwald
Ksenia versteckt sich im Wald. Hinter Gespinsten steht sie, sitzt sie. Schutz bieten sie nur vermeintlich. Vielmehr sind sie selbst die Gefahr. Nicht berühren, nicht zu nah kommen.
Eines unserer emotional geladenen Shootingthemen haben wir in einem Waldstück am Rhein umgesetzt.
Schwarze Morphologie
Das Bild inszeniert den Körper als Skulptur aus Licht und Schatten. Die Fotografie arbeitet mit einer strengen Komposition: Tiefer Blickwinkel, zentrierte Figur, ein Raum von architektonischer Ordnung, der die organische Form des Körpers kontrastiert.
Die dunklen Flügel sind keine bloße Kostümierung, sondern eine Erweiterung der Figur – sie verwandeln Bewegung in Textur. Licht fällt hier nicht beschreibend, sondern modellierend: Es formt die Materie, tastet nach Kontur und Tiefe.
In der Spannung zwischen der gebauten Umgebung und der gebückten Haltung entsteht ein visuelles Paradox – Kontrolle und Instinkt, Bühne und Rückzug. Die Fotografie hält diesen Zwischenzustand fest, jenen Moment, in dem das Bild nicht zeigt, sondern innehält.
So wird das Foto selbst zur Choreografie: ein Dialog zwischen Stillstand und Erwartung, zwischen Fläche und Raum.
Folded into Light
A shoulder becomes a shoreline,
knees a harbor for the tide of breath.
Shadow measures what the day can’t hold,
and the body keeps the quiet true.

Cartography of Light
Light skims the body like a surveyor, tracing ridges, hollows, quiet borders.
Fragments become coordinates—shoulder, heel, a slack hand—each a small longitude of breath.
Not confession, but mapping: the skin remembers where the shadow has been.
Graffiti Show
Graffiti Show mit meinem Modell
Ich habe mein Model mitten im Graffiti mit hartem Licht inszeniert. Die komplementär Farben und das harte Licht waren besonders an diesem Tag.
Graffiti show with my model
I staged my model in the middle of the graffiti using harsh light. The complementary colors and harsh light were particularly special on this day.
