The truth about me is rather boring.
Only the rumors are interesting.

My pictures make no sense, and they serve no higher purpose. They show neither skill nor taste. They are merely a desperate attempt to do justice to the depicted beauty.

Although I don't see particularly well, but I see the world through my eyes. Especially the beauty in it. That's why I enjoy taking pictures, even though I am completely talentless. With a camera, a black one. I've attached an impressive phallic symbol to it, the largest and most expensive I could find. Not to impress models, of course. No, just to know where the front is. Besides, I am an impatient and opinionated grumbler who likes to torment his models. Fortunately, they are always too far away anyway.

Anyone who can prove their qualifications to actively perform a meaningful function and contribute to the success of the shoot, such as a makeup artist, hairdresser, or stylist, is always welcome on the set. However, inconspicuous people in the background who are just there, not wearing a fedora or trench coat, almost ruin every picture and have to be painstakingly retouched in post-processing. My studio is not a waiting room, and I don't offer free workshops. Stands have proven to be excellent for holding my reflectors. I have two left hands myself, so I can do without more. If I ever need someone to help me cross the street, I'll be old enough to make my own choice.

I don't engage in discussions about my shoot genres. I still decide who gets to be photographed by me. I'm not yet daring enough for covert portraits; for beauty, only models that enhance my portfolio and whose idea convinces and personally advances me are considered — wherever that may lead. I don't shoot lingerie with models I don't know, not the first time, nor ever later. Whether I shoot nudes and in what form is solely my decision. Above all, I choose my models for that myself and contact them personally. In any case, only models that have my full trust are considered. I only have time for TfP if I like the model and they are also open to my ideas, even if it doesn't really enrich my portfolio. However, women who look cheap should urgently refrain from offering themselves at an expensive rate.

Sure, my equipment wasn't cheap. And my photos haven't really improved because of it. But now I have much more fun with my bad pictures. Instead of showing off my expensive and often unnecessary technical stuff, I'd rather point out some unusual ideas that have a special fascination for me:
- Galloping on an elephant
- Training of cats of prey
- Snake shooting with a cobra
- Deep-sea diving
- Cliffhanger
- Surfing a tsunami
- Volcanic eruption
- Landing on Mars

A trustworthy collaboration with me offers limitless possibilities and is not a big deal at all! If you're not a pigeon nut and don't belong to the megalomaniac teenagers or the reality-detached housewives, just send me a postcard with your suggestions and patiently wait for my response. However, please refrain from unscrupulous inquiries; such will end up in the trash unread!
