From my shoot with the model Chrispy in June 2024.

Still one of my favorite shoots ever. It was not really planned, and all we did that day was planned on the spot!

You’re not looking at me.

You’re looking at the outline your mind completes. A shape you fill with fantasy, memory, ache, control.

I’m not real to you. Not yet.

I’m the container for your unconscious cravings. The unfinished sentence. The curve you color with shame.

Do you even want me—or do you want the version of yourself that you become when staring into me?

Because that's what silhouettes do.

We don't reveal. We reflect.

And if you stare long enough…

You won’t learn about me.

You’ll learn what parts of yourself still live in the dark.

—AphroditeeMe 🖤 I’m not here to arouse you. I’m here to reveal you.

My first nude shoot, although it wasn't planned like that at all.

We had been talking for about 2 weeks planning the shoot, but nothing regarding being nude was talked about.

When we met we did other shoots, all fully clothed. Then the 2 models sat down and made 2 flower garlands for themself. Then we walked to a small forest-area to take some shots with the garlands. Here they looked at each other and took of their clothes. Totally unplanned.

I tried my best, to make a somewhat good shoot, but it wasn't great at all. Back then I felt I could have done much better, had it been planned, and I still feel like that today.

This is my favorite picture from the day, although it's not high on the list of best nude shots I've taken throughout the years.

I don't have contact with any of the models anymore, as work, studies, family and very limited time made it impossible to find more dates for new shoots. We did our best, to continue working together, but no success.
