About Me and My Work

I’m an independent photographer (not agency-affiliated). Most of my shoots are TFP (Time for Prints). Optional Post-production edits are available upon request. You may use the images for your personal Sedcard / Modeling Book.

I offer 50€ per hour for Art Nude. However, if we shoot together on TFP basis, I offer free accommodation (up to 2 nights) as a courtesy. You’ll have a key, full trust, and access to a clean, central space just 10 minutes from Cologne Central Station — a location often praised for its convenience.

I often offer traveling models a separate bed and keys so they may come and go during their stay. Noone has ever asked for a complete separate sleeping room before. However, if necessary, I have a large sofa in my kitchen that has a bed function. I'm comfortable to sleep there. My shooting request is for approximately 2 hours excluding breaks. If a model wishes to stay longer than two days, then I reserve the right to request another shooting. Models are free to feel at home and use the kitchen and other things as required. I have hosted models up to 1 week when they have shootings with other photographers in the city. I do not allow other photographers to use my studio space or equipment.  

If you have any other questions feel free to ask?

Communication

Creative energy matters most to me. If you connect with my work, fantastic — I believe we can create something truly special together. 

Artistic Statement

What inspires me is that electric moment when two creative energies sync. My work focuses on feeling, movement, and capturing the unspoken — not stiff poses or heavy direction.

I prefer relaxed, music-filled sessions where we build trust, talk, and let the mood evolve naturally.

My influences range from art history to pop culture, vintage glamour to surreal dreamscapes. I’m drawn to contrast, chemistry, bold colors, and emotional honesty.

If you’re up for something cinematic, soulful, and real — let’s make some art together.

Thank you!
