Here’s some more cyber stuff in association with Cybergearz who custom built hairpieces for our shoot. This is “Beloved” featuring Model Sina Collins with my little broken android girl and a few watts of real blue laserpower.

It’s really annoying to waste time with things like this but it looks like another picture thief calls for the necessity to go to court. He seriously doubts I am the maker of the images his “chinese” supplier gave him royalty free with some of the clothes they copied from my french designer, for whom I shot them initially. How stupid are people? They could settle this for a minimal amount if only they’d behave less stubborn. As if I’d sue him if I wasn’t the photographer for real, and as if none of my models nor my employees would testify for me… They will be very happy to appear in court. And I can bring the props aswell. Can he?

Once again we have been in London, this time visiting London Edge Fashion Show for a myriad of new clothes for the shop, and of course for shooting our gorgeous new Latex Steampunk outfit. Also I used the time off with SDC not only to recreate, but to check various possible locations for my upcoming exhibition in London 2012. There were some very exciting spots and we are looking forward to setting up the venue next year! But that of course until now is all top secret :)

Germanys new model community fotomodel.de is up for a betatest, if you are a model email your portfolio to info@fotomodel.de to apply as a beta user. see http://www.fotomodel.de for details!

For quite a couple of months i had this idea in my mind, of shooting my own latex creations at Piccadilly Circus in London. My dream came true, when i went back to London again, this time with my gorgeous new muse model sina, who totally nailed an amazing shooting week with me. Not only did we rock Piccadilly Circus, but jumped Jack the Rippers dark alleys, and were allowed to shoot at the famous Cyberdog Camden store, with free choice of all therein. Not to mention the shopping trips and night outs with lovely new friends. We’ll miss u & be back again soon!

What are the odds of nailing the same thing twice?! My new muse Sina inspired me to rewrite the chapter of steampunk fashion, once so popularily shown with the Starshooter picture you all love and know – so we spent the day in the prop workshop creating some wonderful accessories and this new outfit. What else can I say? I did it again!

There I was, walking around the london streets early morning, when all of a sudden the Tardis appeared in front of me. It was a bit dirty, but i just hate to figure out a way to get in there, and as you can see, eventually i succeded. what can i say?! It’s really bigger on the inside, and it looks bloody awesome. good thing the doctor didn’t catch me…

I was very happy to work with Innocence Lost and Andromeda X at a famous London studio today, an outstanding location with endles possibilities. Returned home with approximately 2000 new images, here are just a few for your viewing pleasure. More will be release over the next few weeks.

Finally here we go again, I’m back in London, at my favorite hotel, the Millennium Baileys, and I just had a fantastic dinner at my favorite steak restaurant. Tomorrow I’ll be visiting the Doctor Who Exhibition, which I have been looking forward to do for months. Also of course new shootings are on the way. I’m very happy to work with Andromeda X, and Innocence Lost at a magnificent Studio with victorian ambience, which formerly was an old pub. You can expect some awesome new pictures! Oh yeah, and I’m going to see the phantom of the opera sequel “love never dies”… I wonder how that turns out to be ;)

Since my old volkswagen bus went up in smoke a few weeks ago, i had to buy a brand new t5 multivan, which we have tweaked and tuned a little over the past days. not only did it get the famous performance horse logos i created for our show horse team, but also some new fancy expensive tires and a few extras on the inside. it now matches my touareg perfectly and even has a mobile office with wlan inside. I’m really looking forward to a couple of fancy outdoor shootings this year.

Here’s one of my latest latex creations, a sexy metallic purple outfit I made for Model Sina Collins, whom I’ve been friends with for quite a couple of years now, but unfortunately never had the chance for an extensive shoot. This has changed now and here’s the first image of our collaboration. Really looking forward to more!

Upon developing fotomodel.de we have created the virtual character Vanessa, who is the face to the artificial intelligence behind the entire system. Today was shooting time with Vanessa, who was actually my very first virtual model to participate in a professional photoshooting. She did really well, and I’m looking forward to a lot of future shoots with here. haha :)

I am happy to announce the development of an own modeling an photography web project, called fotomodel.de! The popular domain will be germany’s next model community, and your new way of looking for beautiful models and excellent photographers. We’re all working hard to make it happen, and I have assembled a quite impressive team of helping hands and creative minds. Fotomodel.de is designed from scratch to give you all the features you love from your favorite sites and unlike projects like mk/fc makes a bold approach to focus on quality, style and usability, rather than quantity. Join the Fotomodel.de facebook page to keep in track with the latest developments with feature video previews and a look backstage while it’s all in the making!

Wishing you all a very merry christmas, joyous yule and a happy whatever after! Theres lots of snow pictures to come!

Yay! It has been snowing for days, and finally everything’s white again in old south germany. Naturally all traffic collapses, and everyone freezes to death, but who cares. I descided to use the weekend to go out in the snow and shoot. Debuting the winter motives is lovely Elina with famous cremello stallion FS White King. There will be more snow shootings with King, Ophelia and Andy, one of them even at night in full moon. Stay tuned!

there have been a lot of things to get prepared over the last few weeks, one of which was our christmas riding show at the riding club, featuring my lighting design and two of my hottest horses, one of which had her premiere in front of an audience. so today was the great day, and it was simply amazing, everything went well. here are a few impressions i shot during the show.

Here we go, say hi to Bimba, the newest member of our family of sweet sweet mares. She’s a well trained beautiful six year old daughter of the famous grand prix stallion Barconcelli with an excellent line of descent, and a super lovely character. I really enjoy working with her aswell as Mira a lot. Today was photoshooting day, so here’s a little picture which we also put on her facebook page ;-)

Halloween was porkling day again, featuring my specially constructed pig roasting device. This time we partied at the stables, with a very juicy and delicious spanferkel named “Babs”, after a former member of our riders club. Babs took 8 hours to get roasted perfectly, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy the lovely sunny day with lots of beer, cocktails and jim beam, aswell as riding. Of course the night everybody got costumed and had a lot of fun. Due to ethical reasons, i will spare you the pictures though :-)

Those of you who follow my work might have noticed that i started working with horses in photography, and own a few of them. Here’s a little news from our three year old frisian mare mira. Last weekend we started photography and trailer training in the hall, so here’s a little iphone picture. head over to facebook for the video. Mira is so sweet, and learning fast – she will soon be able to attend her first professional shooting. If i’m very fortunate this week, i might be able to call another mare my own in a few days. i just fell in love with her and so did even ophelia, whom i showed her to after todays shooting. ;-)
