When I was 14, it was clear to me: I was going to be a photographer. My father already was, and a lot of things just felt right – the peace and quiet in the lab, the close observation, the contact with people. After the “Graphische” in Vienna, I specialized early on in what has stayed with me to this day: Fine art nude photography. Sensual, direct, reduced.
I work with people, not with poses. That’s why my pictures are not a show – they tell of trust, intimacy and quiet strength. Erotic photography that takes its time.
My work has been published in Playboy South Africa, Penthouse Germany and the Wiener, among others.
Today, they can be found in private collections all over the world.

Besides my Collector’s Edition – limited Fine Art Prints on Hahnemühle Baryta – two calendars are published every year. Calendars:
the classic erotic calendar in black and white(Black & White) and its color counterpart(All in Color).

This is complemented by two large-format photo books – Coffee-table books that let series breathe. Not a best-of show, but photo series that you don’t scroll through, but leaf through. Over 25 years of work, reduced to what remains: Body, space, light. If you want to get started without immediately hanging a work on the wall, this is often the place to start.

Since the complete relaunch of my website, there is also Signed.Framed.Iconic.:
monthly changing motifs as hand-signed, limited edition fine art prints – framed, and only online for four weeks.
For collectors who want quality but don’t want to start at 1,000 euros.

Another series that has been created in recent years is the Modern MadonnasPainted over originals based on my nude photos – sometimes colorful, sometimes censored, always unique. Pieces of art on wood, resin and paper, created together with my art director.

I believe in real pictures. In intuition and in art that stays – even when the power goes out.
