I'm looking for the unpretentious move, the authentic moment in nude photography. I'm looking for women as they are or how the environment and her being interact.

In future work I would like to focus more so on the being of the individual itself. I mostly avoided facial existence in my nude photos in the past. I guess I found it too much of a challenge to combine both or have a "pose" ruined by an unlucky look. The expression of a face can ruin your picture or make it unforgettable. Maybe I was afraid to engage with the "model" in front of me on such a deep and human level. It takes time. It takes patience, trust and interest in the other and most of all - at that moment you do it - your pictures get a meaning and a transformation sets in. And then you have to contemplate about meaning and transformation … or you ease up and allow for the moment to be and you will go together onto a wonderful trip and get pictures which will touch the soul.
