For me, the male body is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. I see in it not only muscular strength and proportions, but also a beauty that oscillates between strength and vulnerability. When I look through my Nikon at the model in the rain system in the studio<\/a>, I want to capture that moment when a body tells more than just about training or youth \u2013 it becomes a projection screen for longing, sensuality and fantasy. <\/p>\n

Water is an ally for me. It emphasizes every line, lies like a shiny film on the skin and turns a pose into something alive. I love the moment when drops slowly run over the chest or abdomen of the model<\/a>, because that’s exactly when a tension arises that is more than just physicality \u2013 it becomes almost intimate. <\/p>\n

Together with other photographers, including Niels Br\u00e4hler<\/a> and Barbara Frommann<\/a>, and of course drawing from the almost inexhaustible pool of props, I realize my ideas and stage models like Jinthe Martens<\/a>, Shawn Lambrecht, Windy Martanto<\/a> or Daniel Heinrichs.<\/p>\n

Water and transparency<\/h2>\n

Transparent clothing also contributes to increasing the fascination of a photoshoot in the rain<\/a>. When fabrics get wet, they stick to the model’s body<\/a> and reveal silhouettes that would otherwise remain hidden. It’s a game that always appeals to me: not showing everything completely, but suggesting so much that the gaze remains captivated. <\/p>\n

My work with young, well-built men is a dialogue. I watch how they move in front of the camera, how they radiate strength and at the same time allow moments of openness. It is precisely in this mixture \u2013 powerful yet delicate, present yet vulnerable \u2013 that for me lies the essence of male eroticism. <\/p>\n

Every picture is also an invitation for me: to look, to look more closely, and to perceive the body not only as a surface, but as something that tells stories. Water, transparency, skin \u2013 for me, these are all means to make visible what actually remains invisible: the poetry in the male body. <\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
