Frame 01 · The first impression

Portrait of a woman with dramatic lashes and smudged kohl, her hand at her cheek, on white

Beautiful and proud, and vulnerable all the same.

What moves us never announces itself.

Take a closer look.

Frame 02 · Second sight

Pure passion.

People.

Second sights.

Fashion? Beauty?

Do you see what it is, or what it isn’t?

Frame 03 · Two sides

Every light casts a shadow. Every shadow speaks of light.

Every picture has its negative. Which side holds you is up to you.

Move to decide

Frame 04 · Passion

Model in gold body paint, standing

Gold shines.

Passion burns.

One can be bought. The other cannot.

I take pictures when they call me.

And only then.

Frame 05 · La petite mort

A woman with sugar skull make-up on a throne in a dark forest

The French call it

la petite mort.

The small death. If that isn’t poetry, then what is?

Give one part. Leave the rest to the viewer’s fantasy.

Move the light

Frame 06 · Twilight area

Mostly at weekends. Mostly around Berlin.

A dancer in a flowing pink dress leaps across an empty square at dusk
A woman in shorts stands in a summer field against the low sun
A woman sits on a hay bale, backlit by the evening sun

And shootings in “somewhere”.

A woman in a white lace dress in front of a modern building at sunset
A woman in black in a stubble field at dusk

Frame 07 · Staged

Staged.

Every setting on Xtropolis is staged. Most pictures were made among friends, relaxed from the very first minute.

Fun is guaranteed.
