Photographers Barbara Frommann and Klaus Maresch have been working with him for many years, and every photoshoot becomes a firework display of imagination, sensuality, and tongue-in-cheek provocation: Sascha Vaegs, male model and internationally active content creator.
His versatility knows no bounds. Whether in the field of fantasy and dark fashion, in elegant outfits full of velvet, lace, and somber elegance, or in hot mesh wear that promises eroticism and action – Sascha embodies every role with a mixture of professionalism, charm, and unmistakable humor.
Sascha Vaegs has a great sense of humor
It is precisely this humor that makes him so special as a model for photoshoots. As a “gay vampire bitch” with the self-deprecating motto “This vampire bitch needs your hard stake!”, he playfully breaks taboos. As a Twilight fanboy, he plays with pop-cultural myths, and in the gladiator look, he jokingly takes the clichés of masculine strength to absurd lengths. He always remains authentic, present, and full of energy.
Another highlight of his self-staging is the role of the intellectual literary critic and vampire influencer Sasa Tepes, the fictional grandson of Vlad III Tepes. As an influencer vampire with reading glasses and biting humor, he likes to stage himself as an “enlightened undead of the present.” With a serious facial expression, but sparkling mockery in his eyes, he lets his community know:
“Honestly, at my grandfather’s court, there were neither equality nor gender officers. No awareness team, no diversity training, not even accessible dungeons! That’s not on – the man would be canceled immediately today.”
With such statements, Sasa Tepes makes it clear that even as a bloodsucker, one can show attitude. Between book club, selfie spot in the coffin, and biting comments about toxic masculinity in the Middle Ages, he becomes the activist vampire icon who relentlessly exposes historical grievances – and incidentally collects likes and followers in the shadow realm.
But Sascha Vaegs is more than just a model: As a well-known creator with international reach, he brings valuable experience to the organization and planning of creator meetings. With his openness and professionalism, he creates spaces in which creative people come together and create content of the highest standard together.
Sascha Vaegs stands for the perfect blend of aesthetics, self-confidence, and playfulness – a model that not only fills images but charges them with life.
