You have probably never done this before.
Almost no one who books me has.
Most men arrive having never been photographed properly in their lives - let alone with their shirt off. They don't know how to stand. They are convinced they will look ridiculous. They have usually been thinking about it for months before writing to me.
That is the normal starting point, not a problem to solve. You don't need to know how to pose, and you don't need a particular kind of body. Directing you is my job, and I do it in every single frame.
What you bring is the decision to do it.
How it works.
Step 1: You write to me
A few lines is enough. You don't have to explain yourself or arrive with a plan. Most first emails are two sentences and an apology for not knowing what to ask.
I reply within 48 hours.
Step 2: We meet, before anything is decided
Where possible, in person: a coffee, somewhere public, at your convenience. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
We talk about the session, but we mostly just talk. I want to know what pulled you towards this. You want to know whether you can be in a room with me with your shirt off. Neither of those questions is answered by a price list.
Take as long as you need — most of these run half an hour, some run an hour, and that is fine.
If a meeting isn't practical, we do the same thing by video call, in English. Say so, and I'll send a link. No explanation needed.
There is nothing to sign and nothing to pay. You go home and think about it. If I never hear from you again, that's fine — it happens, and it isn't a failure.
Step 3: I send you a plan
After we meet, I go away and think specifically about you.
What comes back is a written concept for your session — mood, setting, light, what to wear and what to take off — and then, for each shot I have in mind, a card: a reference image, what the frame is doing, what I'll ask of you.
It is as much a check on me as a guide for you. It's the document that holds me to what I promised, so nothing I planned for you gets forgotten on the day, and so you can hold me to it if it does.
And it hands you the easiest possible place to say no. Crossing a card off a list a week early, at your kitchen table, on your own, costs you nothing. Saying the same thing out loud, half-undressed, in a room with a camera, costs a great deal more. So say it now. Cut whatever you like, add what you want, tell me where I've read you wrong. Nothing goes on the plan unless we both agree.
By the day of the shoot, you will already have seen what is going to happen. There is nothing left to be ambushed by.
Step 4: The session
Two hours, in Frankfurt, just the two of us.
We start clothed and we start slow, and we work through the plan you have already seen and approved. I direct continuously — where your weight goes, what your hands do, where you look. You are never left standing in a room trying to guess what a photographer wants. I'll show you frames on the back of the camera as we go, because most men do not believe it's working until they see it for themselves.
The plan is a floor, not a script. Nothing on it is compulsory, anything on it can be dropped on the day without explanation, and you can ask for something that was never on it at all. Say "not this one" and we move on. Say "can we try…" and we try it. The best frames are usually the ones neither of us planned — the plan exists precisely so there is room for them.
Where it goes from there is your decision, taken on the day, and it can change at any point.
Step 5: A first look, within 72 hours
You go home from a session having done something you have never done before, and then you wait. That wait is where the doubt lives.
So, within three days, I will send you a handful of images — the ones I am most excited about, edited. Not the gallery, not the full take. Just the first proof that this worked.
Most men need to see that before they can believe it.
Step 6: Your private gallery
Shortly afterwards, you receive a password-protected gallery of the full take, with the password sent separately.
You review it alone, in your own time. Anything you dislike, you say so, and it is deleted - no discussion, no reason required. Then you tell me which frames matter to you, and those are the ones I take into the edit.
Step 7: Final images
Within five weeks of the session, you receive your individually edited, high-resolution images, ready to print.
They are yours. You are free to do anything you like with them.
When you tell me you're finished, I delete everything.
Clothed, partially undressed, or fully nude - you decide, and you decide on the day, not in an email weeks earlier.
Men change their minds in both directions. Some arrive certain they will keep their underwear on, only to find they don't. Some plan a nude session and find that what they actually wanted was to be seen, not undressed. Both are entirely fine. There is no version of this session that counts as a failure.
The camera stops the moment you say so.
You set the limits
Discretion
Nothing you and I make together is ever published without your explicit written permission, given for that specific image and that specific use.
That is not a policy I follow when convenient. It is the condition on which this work exists at all.
In practice:
Your images are never posted, printed, entered into competitions, shown to another client, or used in my portfolio unless you have said yes to that exact image, in writing.
Permission is per image and per use. Saying yes to one photograph on my website is not saying yes to anything else, anywhere else.
You can withdraw permission at any time, without giving a reason, and I will take the image down.
Your files are stored privately, are never uploaded to a public service, and I do not keep them forever. Once you have your images and you tell me you're done, I delete everything — the full take, the raw files, all of it. You can ask for that at any point, without giving a reason.
I do not name clients. I do not confirm to anyone that you were here.
Every image in my gallery is published with the written consent of the man in it. That is why there are fewer of them than there could be.
Investment
-
A meeting beforehand — coffee or video call — with no obligation and nothing to pay
A written concept for your session, and a mood card for every shot, agreed with you in advance
Two hours, in Frankfurt am Main
Continuous direction throughout — you are never left to work it out alone
Private gallery of the full take, for you to review alone
A first look — a few edited images within 72 hours of the session
20 individually edited high-resolution images, within five weeks
Complete discretion. Nothing is ever shown, published, or shared. Everything is deleted when you say so.
There is one session and one price. No packages to compare, no upsells, nothing held back for a more expensive version.
Locations are chosen together during planning — an apartment, a studio, a hotel room, or an outdoor location. If you have somewhere in mind beyond the city, tell me, and we'll work it out.
-
I can only show the work that men allow me to show. If, after you have seen your gallery, you choose to release a selection of images for my portfolio, €100 is returned to you.
You choose the images. Not me.
You decide after the shoot, never before — you cannot meaningfully consent to photographs that don't exist yet.
You can say no and pay the full €500, and I will never raise it again.
You can change your mind later and I will take them down.
There is no cheaper session and no lesser version of the discretion above. There is only a discount for generosity.
-
€200 secures your date.
€300 by the day of the session at the latest.
Bank transfer, invoiced. No cash.
You are fully paid before the session begins. I don't want money in the room.
If you release images for the portfolio at the gallery review, €100 is returned to you.
-
More than 7 days before the session: move the date once, free of charge. Your deposit moves with you.
Within 7 days: the date can no longer be filled, so the deposit is retained.
If I have to cancel — illness, equipment failure, anything at all: you are refunded in full and you get first choice of my next available dates.
Life happens. Talk to me and we will find a way.
