Prologue

Welcome and thank you for your interest in my work!
I photograph my models in the greatest possible naturalness, without big make-up, without elaborate clothes, without artificial light or flash: nothing should distract from the personal charisma and beauty of the girl.

For me, the model is the work of art, which I approach photographically more like a documentarist. I try to depict her very own beauty as unadulterated as possible, and thus her effect on the viewer.

In my pictures you will find elements of artistic portrait photography that mix with techniques of street and reportage photography. This should underline the authentic atmosphere and is reinforced by the girls' natural appearance.

With Girls Are Poetry I would like to show you that the sensuality of an image has nothing to do with how much skin a model shows, but with how comfortable she feels in it. And this is not achieved with a lot of technique and elaborate settings, but with the photographer showing friendliness, respect and professionalism towards the model, and giving her a feeling of security. Then you can get pictures that touch rather than just impress.

I have collected the most beautiful pictures of my shootings in downloadable sets. If you are interested, you can buy them here for a small amount to download and support my work. And the models are also proud when they get to know that the work was worthwhile and their pictures reach the audience.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via the contact form. I will answer every mail!

Have fun and inspiration on GirlsArePoetry!
