What kind of projects do you shoot?

Mostly campaigns and editorials for brands, agencies and magazines. On top of that, covers and press photos for labels, and product images for advertising and social media.

How does working together look?

Tell me specifically what you are planning, and I get back to you with a quote. If there are open questions beforehand, we are happy to have a quick call. After that I take care of concept, shoot and post-production, depending on what you need.

What does a project cost?

That depends on scope, usage and effort. Projects start at €1,000, plus usage rights and expenses. The more precisely you describe your project, the more precise the quote.

How long until I get the images?

Usually one to two weeks after the shoot. If it needs to be faster, just let me know, that can usually be arranged.

What about usage rights?

You get the usage rights your project needs, or a buyout if you want everything at once. Copyright stays with me.

Do you work with a team?

That depends on the production. Styling, hair and make-up, assistants and studio I am happy to organise, and smaller shoots I also handle on my own.

Do you only work in Frankfurt?

No, all over Germany and abroad, happily on request.
