Title: 'FLOW'Z'

Location: Studio.

"Together with Christian Olivier Merz, the makeup artist who conceived the idea of incorporating flowers and petals, we developed an editorial that includes this image. The model featured is the wonderful Faith, represented by M4 Models.

My image is about contrast, texture and minimalism. I aimed to create visual tension by incorporating selective coloring and using black and white as the primary element, contrasting it with a vibrant orange of the petals. This contrast draws immediate attention to the organic elements placed on the skin, symbolising a connection between nature and human identity. The texture of the skin, captured in detail with its subtle imperfections and matte finish, contrasts with the soft, delicate quality of the petals.

For me, this interaction between the natural and human forms suggests themes of fragility and resilience, where softness meets strength."

Title: Part of a series called: 'Lucky's fast paced chase!'

Location: Navarra, Spain

"I have often wondered whether a later production model 911, or the previous prototype of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS would win a race.

At the racetrack in Navarra, I had the opportunity to find this out photographically. Initially, the day started out rainy with unfavorable weather. However, it proved to be just right for this powerful duel in which the 1036HP Porsche's battled for pole position, lap after lap. The Erlkönig won by a narrow margin.

Adam Cowie, our pro driver and model, was in the Porsche GT3 RS, and was clearly in the fight.
Many thanks to Anja Ziegler who made this possible and to Trey Digital Studio who helped to 'develop' this wonderful look. Film rules!

Thanks to everyone involved to make this happen. Special thanks to Max @treydigitalstudio."
