Urban catwalk

When her heels hit the pavement, the city becomes a catwalk, a stage to display the latest luxury. Vanity is the highest good, money just a commodity. 

A deliberately commercial photo set featuring the incredibly talented Julia W. for Most Wanted Models. It was such a pleasure working with her. Mostly shot on film.

A lonely night out

A beautiful young woman on a night out. She enters a classic bar, dressed to attract attention. Yet, as the evening progresses, she remains alone. Her melancholic eyes scan the room while she takes sip after sip from her drink. What's her story?

South western

Originally inspired by a Pinterest board created by my blogger friend Fiona, this photo set plays on fashion and lifestyle in the south-western United States. Shot completely on film (35mm and 6x4,5 medium format). Thanks for being an amazing model again, Friedy.

Going crazy

A completely analog photo set that depicts a person's transformation from a completely normal, controlled state of mind to complete madness. This transition is shown in three steps with different locations, outfits, makeup, and poses.

The art of calligraphy

A little photographic experiment documenting my friend's calligraphy. Shot on Kodak Tri-X with my Mamiya RZ67.

The follower

A young woman sitting on a bench in a city park. She is dressed for going out and apparently waiting for her date to arrive, glancing at her phone in an increasingly annoyed fashion. We observe her from a distance. As she gives up and sets off, the camera follows her. The viewer becomes her follower until she suddenly notices him. Once spotted, the follower turns out to be good company and the set changes from voyeuristic to intimate. But what happens next?

Take a look at this video for the story behind the shoot.

Vanessa Lou

Equipment used:
Mamiya RZ67 with 110mm f/2.8 Sekor lens

Modern, abstract, colorless

A cold and abstract environment. A strong young woman showing her different sides. A lonely spark of life in a colorless world. Shot with only one camera (Mamiya RZ67), one lens (110mm f/2.8 Sekor), and completely on black and white film (Ilford HP5+ and Rollei RPX 100).

Model: Hanna van der Weck
Hair & Make-up: Evgenia Stamler

After the party

A long, wonderful party which lasted well into the night. Our protagonist finally emerges to glance at the first rays of sunlight of the new day. Carrying fresh memories. Enjoying the soft touch of grass on the soles of her feet. 

Model: Isabell K.
Hair & Make-up: Marielle Meier

Cello solo

One of my best friends playing one of my favorite cello solo pieces: Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007.

Captured with one of my favorite cameras on one of my favorite black and white films. 

A concert of favorites. 

Muted colors

From a short but sweet casual analog portrait session with Brazilian model Alexa Devi, represented by TIME MODEL and PS Models. 

Fabulous Fabienne

From an analog portrait session with the incredibly talented Fabienne for Java Models in Munich.  

Two seasons

Two casual analog portrait sessions with the same young model Lea Schwarz (together models), one in late summer in Munich, the other one in the winter in Salzburg. 

If you're interested in seeing some behind the scenes footage, take a look at this camera review on my YouTube channel. 

Just starting out

The result of a casual analog photo shoot with beautiful, young Sophia who had never modeled before. Hard to believe but true.

Waiting for a no-show

A cultivated young woman waiting for her date to finally arrive at the theater. She is growing impatient and annoyed. The show begins any minute. But she waits in vain and remains the only person left outside the theater. A no-show.

Shot completely on black and white film with a Mamiya 645 Pro TL with 80mm f/2.8 and 150mm f/3.5 lenses as well as a Yashica Mat 124G.

Some bonus images towards the end of the set. Seems like our model Zarah decided to go out and party instead.

Young, special, beautiful

A young beauty of French/Indian descent who declined an offer from a New York-based model agency to focus on her studies first. And then asked me via Instagram to take her picture. I certainly couldn't decline.

Shot completely on 120 medium format black and white film on a Sunday morning, this was very special photo shoot and I really enjoy the results. I hope you do as well. 

Most photos were taken with my Mamiya 645 Pro TL with a 80mm f/2.8 Sekor lens, some of them with a Yashica Mat 124G. Watch the Story behind the Shoot video on my YouTube channel if you are interested.

Black and white

Light and darkness. Happiness and sadness. Positives and negatives. Two sides of the very same coin. My talented model Hannah in a photo set deliberately playing with hard shadows and soft highlights, accentuated by her long white dress and black jump suit. 

This set was shot completely on black and white film with my Mamiya RZ67 and Mamiya 645 Pro TL. Watch the Story behind the Shoot video on my YouTube channel if you are interested.

Golden hour

Another Sunday. My beautiful model Linda glowing in the morning sun. Shot with a Leica T and a 50mm Voigtländer f/1.5 lens.

All black and white photos were taken with a Yashica Mat 124G with Ilford HP5+.

Morning fog

A spectacle of nature on a winter morning with beautiful model Celine Banerjea.

Primarily shot on Kodak Portra 400 and some Ilford HP5+ with my Mamiya 645 Pro TL.  I also shot one roll of Fuji C200 with my father's Minolta XD-7 with 85mm f/1.7 and 35mm f/1.8 lenses.

If you want to hear the story behind this shoot, take a look at this YouTube video.

Modern nature

This completely analog photo shoot took place in a valley where the river Isar crosses, surrounded by beautiful mountains and patches of forest. My models portrayed young urbanites getting out of town on a weekend. If you want to hear the entire story behind this shoot, please take a look at this YouTube video.

I shot this photo set with my Mamiya 645 Pro TL with a 80mm f/2.8 Sekor lens and my Mamiya RZ67 with a 110mm f/2.8 Sekor lens. In addition, I was allowed to use my friend's Linhof Technika III for my very first large format photos. All images were shot on Ilford HP5+ or Kodak Portra 400.

Cigarette break

Sunday morning. Dressed all black. Smoking a cigarette like no one else. A bright smile and a few drops of rain.

All black and white shots taken with a Mamiya 645 Pro TL on Ilford FP4. All color shots done with a Leica T with a Voigtländer Nokton (50mm, f/1.5).

Against the day

“Remember, God didn't say, 'I'm gonna make light now,' he said, 'Let there be light.' His first act was to allow light in to what had been Nothing. Like God, you also have to always work with the light, make it do only what you want it to do.” 

― Thomas Pynchon, Against the Day

And "work with the light" we did on this particular Sunday morning. My model Diane and I got up at 5.30 am to catch the right light only to realize that the sun had risen a bit too much by the time we reached the park. Nevertheless, we managed to catch some beautiful scenes. Shooting with the Mamiya 645 Pro TL medium-format camera surrounded by trees felt like pointing a gun at innocent deer in a forest. The shots were taken on Ilford FP4, Ilford Delta 400 and Kodak Portra 160. Let there be light.

A classy classical singer

Shot wide open with the Leica T and my 50mm Summicron lens.

Against the grain

The result of a casual photo shoot during our summer vacation at my parents' place. Shot on the amazing Yashica Mat 124G (with close-up lens) loaded with Kodak Portra 160 and Ilford FP4.

Foggy fall forest

A Sunday morning stroll through a foggy forest in the fall. The perfect setting for a casual analog portrait session with Anny.

I shot this photo set with my Leica M6 with a 50mm Summicron and my Yashica Mat 124-G, in part because I wanted to retain the forest's calm atmosphere with silent, manual cameras. For film, I chose Ilford HP5+ and Kodak Portra 400.

Morning sun

Four different film stocks, three dresses, two cameras, and one beautiful model in the morning sun.

Shot with my Mamiya 645 Pro TL and my Yashica Mat 124G on Ilford FP4, Kodak Portra 160, Fuji Pro 160N, and Fuji Pro 400H.

River ghost

A colorless river ghost going ashore, slowly transforming into a human being full of life, eventually blending into the crowd. Witness a transformation.

Shot mostly with the Mamiya RZ67 and a 110mm Sekor lens on Ilford FP4+, Ilford HP5+ and Kodak Portra 400 as well as the Leica T with a 50mm Summicron. Watch the Story behind the Shoot video on my YouTube channel if you are interested.

Femme fatale

Which location could better symbolize the thin line between life and death than a slaughterhouse? Just the right backdrop for a femme fatale.

Shot on a Sunday morning with three different cameras (both analog and digital), this photo set aims to capture the dynamics of power: from grandeur to sweet kindness.

Urban poetry

How do you portrait an old friend who happens to be a poet, PhD student, kung fu fighter, and former basketball player? Well, see for yourself and let me know what you think.

Shot with my Mamiya 645 Pro TL on Ilford FP4 and HP5.

Partners in crime

My girlfriend with one of her closest friends. 

Shot on Ilford FP4 film again with my Leica M6 and 50mm Summicron as well as my father's old Minolta XD-7 with 85mm f/1.7 and 24-35mm f/3.5 Minolta MD lenses. I also tested my recently acquired Mamiya 645 Pro TL (with an amazing 150mm Sekor C lens) towards the end of the shoot. 

Munich with the Monochrom

Shot with the Leica M Monochrom and a 50mm Summilux.
