and considered a minor art?
How would you describe yourself?
I’d say I’m a very structured guy with a good phers?
sense of humor who is constantly joking around.
On the other hand, I’m also pretty straight forward
– when I don’t like something I tell the person
what is wrong.
Apparently, my models, close friends and family
tend to like this mixture …
Why a photographer?
That’s a tough one. I think there is no particular
reason for me to be a photographer. I won’t end
world hunger nor have my photos a deeper mea-
ning.
I just love creativity, beauty and sharing things
with others. Therefore, I think photography is the
best way to combine all this.
Is the world ready for your photos?
Yes. My photos are supposed to look cool or kinky
– I think everybody can work with that.
What did you study?
Communication design with a focus on interface
design and advertising.
What is your favourite theme, PinUp, Latex, Te-
rror…..?
Latex for sure! There is nothing compared to that!
Do you believe photography is underestimated
It is great that everybody can do a photo within
seconds with a smartphone nowadays. Because
now the media streams are flooded with average
photos and the unique ones shine out even more.
In conclusion, I don’t think good photography is
underestimated.
Was it difficult for you gaining the confidence of
models?
Actually not … as mentioned above the models
tend to like me and my personality. Joking around
the way I do seems to break the ice and is a huge
help to get better photos and since I’m doing pho-
tography just for fun this might be one of the
most important things for me.
What do you prefer: taking many photographs or
just a few during a session but spend more time
on each one?
I don’t take that many photos. I’ve a pretty good
idea how the photo should look before I even start
hitting the trigger.
What makes you different from other photogra-
Variance! There are so many great photographers
who always do the same! Same light. Same idea.
Same retouch. I try to do something new in every
project. Of course I’ve certain retouching work-
flows and a certain style, but without making so-
mething different every time I’d get bored to
easily.
What is your definition of beauty?
A confidence woman with a great attitude, a tight
body and some kind of detail that makes here uni-
que.
What is more important today: mastering the ca-
mera or Photoshop?
I’m no master of the camera at all. Therefore, I go
with Photoshop, because it allows me to create
things that are almost impossible to capture with
a camera only.
What equipment do you use? Why?
A canon 6D, a 50mm and a 25mm lense and some
random strobes, flashes and light formers – not
much of a photo tech guy …
In the digital era, can anyone be a photographer?
Of course! In fact, everybody should be! Some pe-
ople will make better photos some will not but
everybody who does photos does something cre-
ative, which is great.
