1. How would you describe yourself?First I`m creative, often a little chaotic but with a strong leaning towards perfection2. How did you get started in photography?By chance… so I am self-taught and my approach is – you live and learn. In passage of time, however, my work has become my dream job and I don’t want to miss it.3. You do many types of photography but must are alternative and fantasy photography, why are you attracted to this type of photo-shoots?I love the diversity, the creative, the otherness … there’s always something new to discover. In addition, these themes give me much space for fantastic creations, especially in combination with image processing.

5.What about all the back stage work do you like to be involved on the creative part of the photo-shoot conception, what can make a picture became perfect?Since photography is my job, often not much time remains for the back stage work. In case of this, planning and assembling the perfect outfits must be well prepared. The concept is based on an idea, a story or something else, but it’s only a frame because I like to work spontaneously, without 100% planning, here are often created surprising and amazing results.And you surely know … no one and nothing is really perfect.

6. And what about the all after shoot work all the editing do you enjoy doing that as well, were do you get all your inspiration from?Post processing is the icing on the cake, so, it always belongs to this. I love to take pictures so special … giving them a life, the rising of new worlds of my own.

Inspiration is the image, sometimes I usually do not know in advance what I want to do, it arises in the processing and surprised me often itself.7. With so many amazing picture you must have many requests for collaborations,  what’s the must important thing to make you say yes to a model our a project?Model and project, both of them must agree. If I use the little spare time for free cooperation, I have to be sure that the results are fine … and mostly it is succesful, Only the perfect interaction of model, idea, outfit, styling, photography and post-processing is able to bring the perfect match!

8. From all the great pictures you have I bet it’s hard to choose a favorite, but do you have one shoot that you hold more dear if so why?No, there is really no favorite at all. I like them all in their own way … the work is always so different and I am glad about the complexity.
