I have been doing bondage and fetish photography for a little more than 3 years now, because I could rarely find any European image material that looked like what I wanted and that combined erotic elements in an artful way. Although my first experiments were not always successful, I often managed to achieve highly erotic but still beautiful images. This combination might be well advanced in Japan, but not in Germany or Europe. I am using mostly amateur models, that I meet in Germany's gothic scene. I just talk to them in discos or on the street. Actually some of the best ideas are coming from my models. I am very experimental and I try doing new and innovative things. Lately my work is being published in magazines like "Schlagzeilen" in Germany or "Dresseuse" in France, but personally I am still calling myself an amateur photographer who just likes bondage and likes to be creative.
