By making a living out of my fantasies, I have now been active in the fetish scene for over 25 years, as a publisher of magazines (German Skin Two, <O>, Marquis, Heavy Rubber), video director (White Room, Fetish Academy, Rubber Discipline), book publisher (Fetish Divas, Fetish Goddess Dita, Fetish Photography), operating websites (marquis.de, heavyrubber.com), writing fetish stories, organizing fetish events (Ball Bizarre, Night of <O>, Night of Marquis, Art Bizarre), but most of all, as a photographer.

This website deals with the latter. If you are lucky to have a girlfriend or wife who is a fetish model, you can shoot wherever and whenever you want. A great way to learn by doing. Originally a graphic designer, I took to photography relatively late in my career. There were too many images in my head that wanted to be realized. After ten years of intense shootings, with more than 300 models, and far more than 400,000 photos in my archive, I think I know how something about fetish photography.

This website offers a selection of my images. If you want to see more, I recommend MARQUIS and HEAVY RUBBER magazines, and our memberzones at marquis.de and heavyrubber.com. I offer shootings, too, private or commercial; all deatils to be found on this website. For the press, there is a section with selected interviews and information.
