My approach …
I am a portrait photographer with heart and soul, and have been ever since I was sixteen. I chose to become an architect first though. Ten years down the line I was at the point where I spent every single second of my free time with photography and the decision was everything but difficult to become a photographer. I love working close and personal with people. I like to make them feel comfortable and guide them through what is hopefully a wonderful experience for the persons involved. I want my model to trust me and to express their personality and dreams in my photographs.
My images …
It is essential for me to have a good chat with my model prior to the shoot to establish what the model wants to achieve, express, see, experience and create. I then come up with a series of ideas for the shoot including the location which I will discuss with the model prior to the shoot. I usually start off the shoot with very natural images using natural light. Depending on the models moods, desires and playfulness the images can reflect very different aspects of a personality. I have found that the right mood, chemistry and creativity can create unique images that are beyond what I or the model expected, they are a piece of art.
