Imagine…
Imagine this:
You’ve arranged to meet a friend at the skatepark – and there are no mobile phones.

Molly in London
The Story of Gods surprising ways resulting in a photo session with American graduate Molly in London.
Unforgettable
I had a photo session with Nadine (she shares my name) YEARS ago and I would never have expected her to write this recent review after such a long time…
Your genuine smile
When being photographed, don`t be afraid to smile wholeheartedly and openly. With openly, I don`t mean that you necessarily need to show your teeth – smile how you want to smile – but I mean that you can open up und be “real”. Don`t try to hide behind a fake smile. Think of the camera as a friend.

A bittersweet state of mind
Bittersweetness is a tendency to states of longing, poignancy, and sorrow; an acute awareness of passing time; and a curiously piercing joy at the beauty of the world…

Photographs and time
“Look, last week this tree was pink and now it`s basically green”, said Annie and took a sip from the hospital coffee she brought for her and her sister to the park. “Hmm”, Emily looked up.

How to dress…
What to wear? is one of the most frequent questions my clients ask me when we plan our photo session. Here is some advice.
Part of a story
“As they walked on the sunny side of Columbia Road, Peter turned quiet. It was Easter Sunday and the streets were almost empty. Andy saw the old beetle parked in line and all of a sudden, he remembered…”
Day in your life
Document your “full experience of life”: Whatever happens (or whatever doesn`t happen), there`ll always be opportunities for pictures. However eventless or mundane our day may be, we still can document what we see and how we feel with our camera.
Autumn
About the special feeling at the start of autumn: “April has never meant much to me, autumn seems to be that season of beginning, of spring.” – Truman Capote in Breakfast at Tiffany`s.
Shine and go with the flow
How do you react when people don`t act how you would like them to act and when situations don`t turn out as you would like them to go?

Feel more to see more
HOW FEELING MORE HELPS YOU SEE MORE. Do you wonder how to slow down time? Or how to get more out of the moments that just keep coming at you and running straight past you?

Style
HOW TO DRESS IN YOUR STYLE. I`ve never really thought about what style or “finding your style” really means. In the German dictionary, style is described as „a characteristic way to express something”.
Picture your Highlights
Give it a try and make a “pictures of summer” album. The major surprise will come later: Looking back after let`s say a few months and going through your highlight pictures, it will hit you: How blessed you are! How many good moments you captured that otherwise would have passed unnoticed.

Vision
When making decisions or planning, ask: Does this serve my purpose? This way we can move forward according to our values.
Ditch that camera bag
Why having no camera bag can improve your photography. Here`s where your camera is supposed to be: Hanging over your shoulder and ready to shoot. That means the lens cap is either at home or in our pocket.

Self-image
“I PRAISE YOU, FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE…” I want to look at my picture saying: Yes that`s me with a beating heart that is capable to hope and a mouth that is able to smile bright.
Dress like you want to be
Fake it til you make it. This principle can be helpful with a lot of situations. Some people even claim it can make you rich.

New Year
As we start the new year, it`s a good time to go through all our photos of this year. Of course, to reflect on the past twelve months.
Life is now
This life, I want to avoid saying “I can do that later” to something that I fancy doing.
Light-Photography
Some of my favourite photographs are of light. By that, I mean light as the main element; those pictures that are purely about the light.
Character-Style (How to dress with character)
In fittings at Wunderkind, Wolfgang Joop sometimes grabbed the fabric of a perfectly ironed skirt or blouse and creased and puffed it up slightly to make it look more “alive”.

Capture the 50:50
Be ok with the 50 : 50 of life by photographing the full human experience – including positive as well as negative, and everything inbetween.
Shadow stories
Have you ever been out and wondered how to take a picture with yourself in the scene – but without taking a typical selfie?
