THEY SAY THAT BEAUTY PHOTOGRAPHY IS A SUPREME DISCIPLINE. I LOVE THIS GENRE BECAUSE YOU GET VERY CLOSE TO PEOPLE AND YOU WORK WITH DIFFERENT LEVES. THAT SUITS MY NATURE.

In recent years, a rethink has taken place in the cosmetics industry. Dr Hauschka Natural Skin Care is one of the role models for that change. This cooperation shows excerpts of the NEONYT INSTALLATION. Concept of the installation by STUDIOMM04, fashion director Claudia Hofmann. Warmest thanks to Sandra Bürkle.

I love collaborations with other artists. Here, for example, with Sarah Illenberger, who painted over the cover featuring Sandra Treydte.

Magazine cover featuring a close-up of a person's face with colorful abstract paint strokes overlaying parts of the face, including green, pink, purple, and blue shapes. The title reads "MAGAZIN" and the text at the bottom says "Zu viel des Guten."

TUSH Magazine

I photographed a number of spreads and covers for Armin Morbach's beauty magazine. Mini Anden on the cover is direct and mysterious.

ZOO Magazine

When we shot this editorial for ZOO magazine, Mini Anden had a fever but still wanted to take the photos – the result is, that the images are more touching than beauty photos usually are.

Hardly any genre in photography has conspired as much with artificiality as beauty photography. Perhaps people love this image of Claudia Schiffer because it shows beauty with soul and character with no filter or retouching.

The gender debate has also found its way into photography. But if you look at it more closely, photography has played with gender roles from the very beginning and also questioned them.

TUSH Magazine

Dealing with clichés, to reinterpret them and break them open. This is the challenge when working with well known brands – as here for a cooperation with CHANEL and TUSH magazine.

I LOVE MAGAZINES AND BOOKS. PAPER AGES AS WELL AS PEOPLE AGE. MAGAZINES HAVE NOTHING FINAL - THEY COME AND GO.

TUSH Magazine

Felix Fischer did more than just hair styling for this image . Here hair conveys a subtile political message.

VEZA and I have repeatedly dealt with the topic of beauty and also with the absurdity of beauty mania, though. Nevertheless of that it remains exciting for us in the photographic discourse.

A WELL THOUGHT-OUT PHOTO IS LITERALLY SUSTAINABLE – SIMULTANEOUSLY MODERN AND TIMELESS.
