Intimate Portraits
see yourself differently
Hamburg · Private sessions across Europe
This is for you
You know that feeling when you catch yourself in the mirror and think "damn, I look good"?
Not staged. Not performing. Just you, in a moment where everything aligns.
Maybe you've been told you're not enough. Not the right size. Not the right age. Not photogenic. Not confident enough to be photographed.
Fuck that.
This is for everyone. All genders. All bodies. All identities. Anyone ready to see themselves differently.
You don't need permission. You just need to show up.
You don't have to perform confidence
These portraits can be soft. They can be bold. They can be powerful. They can be vulnerable.
You don't need to show up "ready." You don't need to have it all figured out.
You just need to show up.
intimate portraits aren't about "sexy"
This isn't boudoir. It's not glamour. It's not content for someone else's feed.
It's about being seen the way Anton Corbijn sees musicians. The way Nan Goldin photographed her friends. Present. Unflinching. Real.
Some sessions are sensual. Some are quiet. Some are powerful in ways that have nothing to do with skin.
You decide what intimate means for you.
Sensuality is allowed here. But it's not required
If you want to explore that part of yourself, we can.
If you don't, we won't.
Your space. Your terms. Your body.
No one here is expecting you to show up confident, bare-skinned, or magazine-ready.
You show up however you want. We figure out the rest together.
Most people feel awkward at first
That's completely normal.
It takes time to drop the armor. To stop performing. To just be.
Some people get there in 20 minutes. Some in an hour. Some don't fully, and that's okay too.
This can be emotional. Confronting. Freeing. Sometimes all three at once.
You don't need to be comfortable with being photographed. You just need to be willing to try.
Your boundaries are non-negotiable
Before: We talk about what you're comfortable with. What you want to explore. What's off limits. You tell me, I listen.
During: You can stop at any time. Say no to anything. Change your mind about what we discussed. If something doesn't feel right, we stop. No questions asked.
After: You see every image before I edit anything. You choose what gets edited. You control if and how images are shared. Nothing goes anywhere without your written permission.
Trust: I've been doing this for 14 years. I know the difference between "stop" discomfort and "I'm just not used to this" discomfort.
Your safety matters more than any photograph.
I'm not here to direct you
I'll give you gentle prompts. Suggestions. Small adjustments.
But I'm not choreographing you. I'm not staging fantasy. I'm not telling you to "be sexy" or "look confident."
I'm witnessing. Responding. Photographing what's actually there.
I'm present and professional. Human, not detached. But also not flirtatious, not blurring boundaries, not making this about anything other than you being seen.
This is your session. I'm just holding the camera.
There's no template
Some are sensual. Some are neutral. Some are soft. Some are powerful.
You don't need to decide beforehand what yours will look like.
We'll feel it out together.
How this works (and why people choose it)
Location: Private spaces in Hamburg or across Europe. Your home, my studio, a hotel room, an outdoor location you choose. Rarely outdoors unless you specifically want that.
Duration: 2–3 hours. Not because we're shooting that long. Because it takes time to drop the performance and just be.
Pricing: €750. Flat rate. This isn't a standard portrait session. It's intensive, intimate work. Documenting how you see yourself when no one's watching.
Privacy: Your images are private unless you say otherwise. I won't share anything without your written permission.
If your chosen location requires entry fees or permits, you handle those directly.
This is for people who want to be seen, not performed, not idealized, not filtered. Just documented as they are. If that sounds like what you're looking for, we should talk.
Wir hatten das Vergnügen Björn für eine 4-stündige Hochzeitsbegleitung buchen zu können. Nicht nur die Ergebnisse waren toll, sondern vor allem Björns Art und Weise der Umsetzung hat uns begeistert. Mit seiner entspannten und persönlichen Art haben wir uns pudelwohl gefühlt und können eigentlich nur danke sagen!
