Basically here are collected photostories and -series, but not only – this section is to describe some photoprojects, fulfiled ideas etc.

I made this photo story in 2017 shortly after the short film “Are You Still With Me?”. As the sequel. The video is about 2 best friends meeting a girl, Sarah. Now they are “3 best buddies” and hang out very often together. Both boys are now in love with Sarah. But Sarah can’t choose between them, and changes from the Axel, with whom they were shortly together, to Daniel. The friendship ends.
The work on this project was very exciting for me. Re-assemble the team, organize the trip to Riga, where we were allowed to take pictures of the surgery, and of course the surgery itself.
The events in the Photostory happen in a small town where all three protagonists live. One year has passed since the events described in the film. Sarah is now with Daniel, they live together and have no contact with Axel. But one day an accident happens and two former friends meet again.

I wanted to do this foto-serie for a long time. Above all, I wanted to practice with mask and blood effects. And indeed, I was very involved during the photoshooting – when I cleaned my apartment after that, I found the blood even on the ceiling!
As for the story – it’s really simple and tells us about closeness and jealousy. A young woman is in the relationship. It all seems to be serious, but one day she comes home early and … Well … I understand that the man behaved very badly, but our protagonist is really overly jealous!

Reworking of the classic literary works XIX – early XX century about the fate of the homeless, drug addicts and prostitutes.
A young naive woman comes in a big city. She is filled with dreams of a better life. The reality is quite different. After she has not found a job, to survive she is forced to work as prostitute. This life leads our protagonist to drugs and completely destroy she as a person. The story criticizes modern society where a man is simply an instrument to profit – his hopes and dreams are of no real worth.

Photostory about an artist, who has created a work from trash. First the society despises the artist. But after the story about her in a Magazine, the same society admires she. The story should show shallow judgments of society over men.
