Sometimes, a genuine friendship develops when working with families. That’s the case with Liv and Yves. And when the sun is shining too, the mood is fantastic—and you get to wear cool sunglasses.

Second shooting with Nore @more_nore_2015 in 2026. I love working with natural light. The blend of indirect light and shadow gives the scene something special. At the same time, I like the wall; it allows me to achieve a nice depth-of-field effect using a wide aperture.

A shooting on a warm sunny summerday in the parc of Schloß Benrath in Düsseldorf with @emmaspiel.

Shooting with @sonnenschein_im_november. We crossed the parc of Schloss Benrath and found this place with water and natural lights. A natural portrait full of happiness. Lens: Sony E 50 F 1.8, ISO 100, 1/2000s

@sonnenschein_im_september in the full sunlight. A natural portrait with a little wind in her hairs f 1.8.

Livienne visited me on a sunny day with her mother and sister. She is vice world champion in modern dance. I took this picture in the parc of @schlossbenrath. Using the middle of the alley and the lines of the trees with f 1.8 and 1/2500s, we have a 3D-effect on the picture.

The girl at the wall. I placed @thalia_timm09 at a wall half shadow, half sunlight, in the parc of @schlossbenrath. Using a lens with f 1.8, I could add a beautiful bokeh and a light gradients to this black-and-white portrait just using the camera and the lens.

Livienne visited me on a warm and sunny day. I placed her in full sunlight to get a portrait with warm colors and contrasts.
