Shootings
Everything you should know about
a shooting with me!
(Click a topic to get there!)
Costs - Do i have to pay something?
Given that photography is my hobby and not my business the shooting at least is for free! Only the fees for photographic prints (in dif. sizes on high quality paper) and tings like that will be charged from you. But if you want, my piggybank is always hungry for some coin. ;-)

Workflow - Course of the shooting process
I don't want to describe here anything to the smallest detail, that would be way to much for this site. ;-) But i'll give you a short overview about the course of a shooting. If there are any questions about it, just ask :-) CONTACT
1. Establishing contact
2. Meeting e.g. in a Café / ... - Planning the shooting - Scheduling
3. Shooting contract - SHOOTING
(during the shooting we'll have some breaks to have a look at the taken photos and for some coffee etc.)
4. 1-2 days after the shooting i will send you a PDF (via Mail, Messenger, ...) with the best pictures as a preview. Hence you can choose a certain number of pictures (depending on the amount of pictures taken overall) which i will edit.
(The time needed for editing depends on the amount and on what has to be done for editing. Usually not more then a few days.)
5. Burning a CD/DVD with all the chosen edited pictures in high resolution and if desired making some photographic prints.
6. Sending or handing over the CD/DVD/prints. (paying for prints, etc. if applicable)

Type of pictures - What type of pictures do you want to have?
There's no accounting for taste. According to that i don't want to sit on a fence.
In other words: I'm open for (mostly) anything! Singles, couples, groups, portrait, beauty, fashion, underwear*, bodyscape*, semi/implied nude*, artistic/classic nude*, erotic* / pin-up*, photomontage, etc...
You have unusual, nutty or daring ideas yourself?
Great! Let's have it! The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
- for all * "asterisk" marked types you have to be at least 18 years old -

Locations - Places to take pictures at...
Simply... Everywhere i'll have "enough" light... That means with exception for my home studio, in general i take pictures only with "available light" (without flashlight). Possible locations are e.g. in a forest, Halde Hoheward, at your home, Waikiki-Beach (as long as you spare the tickets *g*). In general there are many different possibilities to have a shooting at. But the final decision where to shoot is made during the 1st or 2nd meeting.

Studio - My small Home-Studio...
...or at least something like that *g* There are 2 different backgrounds (black & white) 2,5 m wide and about 5 m long, so that the floor is covered too. The lights: 500 W construction light w/ reflex-umbrella, 650 W daylight-spiral-lamp w/ silver reflector, 1 m x 1,50 m reflector ( gold/silver), 1 m x 1,80 m frame ( used as a softer, darkener, brightener...) and a so called DIY "light-bench".
Here's a little preview:

Usage of the Pictures:
What you and me are supposed to (not) use the pictures for...
Given that photography is my hobby and not my work, there are some things that need to be discussed. Mainly legal issues. That isn't as bad as it sounds, but needs to be done for your and my legal safety. Unless otherwise agreed in writing the taken pictures are considered for an exclusively private (self-promotion, setcards, chat profiles, etc) and non-commercial use only. The pictures that were taken during the free shooting may, but don't have to be used - after prior consultation - by me for self-promotion (eg extension of the portfolio, here on the website, etc) and non-commercial purposes.
The copyright of all taken pictures unchangeable stays with me.
In short: The exact usage purposes are written down individually before every shooting.
