"For me photography is to place head, heart and eye along the same line of sight." It`s a way of living" - Henri Cartier-Bresson

My name is Michael B. Krüger and I am a photographer.

Those who expect here a classic history of photography education like art school or university will be disappointed. Of course I learned my craft but I am the classical autodidact.

„Talent is more important than technology“ - Andreas Feininger, 1906 - 1999

It is not that difficult to learn and understand the technical site of photography, but without the eye for the motif, passion and creativity, it will be difficult to work on a professional level.

My passion for photography started very early. I was 14 years old when I got my first Canon camera.

The "fever" hit me right from the start - I shot almost everything.

Beside that fascination I absolved first a classical business education and worked for many years as a salesman. Even if I photographed the whole time, it was a long process until I quit my job and finally started to spend my working days with what I really loved the most. Taking pictures.

I didn`t regret it for one single day.

„Photo development is not just taking place in the darkroom“Almut Adler, 1951

I think in pictures all the time. They are permanently in my head. I call them my "visions". I bring these pictures/visions to life in my photographs. I see some interesting location or some wonderful landscape and in my mind I start to place a model into it immediately.

„A good photo is a photo that you look at for more than one second“ - Henri Cartier Bresson, 1908

A good photo is always the result of teamwork especially when you take your focus on working with people, particularly in my case , on beautiful women. The most successful photographer cannot shine without his model. Equally important is the makeup-artist who helps me to project my visions on the model.

During the shooting I am always open for suggestions from my team and I am very pleased to see how we proceed on this together.

For the shooting it is necessary to create a special bond of trust between me and my model. A harmonic teamwork and atmosphere on the set always pushes me and my model and increases creativity to the max.

The perfect location is another very important aspect to create a good photo. When the model becomes a unit with the location, the magic starts, I forget everything around me and start to push the trigger.

„Women are the most beautiful, the way god created them – taylors just can spoil that (them).“ - Paul Gaugin

I love beautiful women. Beautiful women with curves. Women who look like women and are proud of it. So it is no big surprise that my biggest passion is fine art nude photography.

I have the amazing privilege to work with such beautiful and self confident "goddesses" which are at least as happy to be a model as I am to be a photographer.

I would like to thank here all of these women and muses, who helped me to let my visions become reality. It wouldn`t be possible without you.
