LOVERS SESSIONS
Right now is the reason. Not a milestone. Not an occasion. Just the two of you, somewhere that matters, photographed by someone who's paying attention.
NO OCCASION NEEDED
Some couples come because they have never liked a photograph of themselves together.
Some want to remember a chapter before it changes.
Some are travelling. Some stay close to home. Some are celebrating nothing at all.
Wanting time together is already enough.
Right now is a reason.
The awkward first ten minutes
Most people don't know what to do when someone points a camera at them. They freeze. They perform. They do the thing they've seen other people do in photographs.
That's normal. I'm not going to fix it by telling you to relax.
What I do instead: I give you something to pay attention to that isn't me. A direction. A conversation. A place to walk to. The awkwardness resolves itself when you stop thinking about it.
That's the entire job.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS
Eventually, you forget why we are there.
We walk. We talk. Sometimes I give you a direction. Most of the time I watch what happens before and after it.
The look that was not meant for me. The hand that reaches out without thinking. The joke nobody else understands.
My job is to notice.
- WHERE
Hamburg. Anywhere in Germany. Anywhere in Europe.
Your neighborhood. A city you're visiting. A place you've always wanted to go. Somewhere that means something to your relationship.
The location should feel like yours. That's the only rule.
Before we meet, I send a few questions. Not to test whether you are serious. I want to know what feels natural between you and what you are unsure about.
It takes about ten minutes. It helps me arrive already paying attention.
IN SHORT
2 to 3 hours at a location that feels like yours
Full presence, no assistant, no shot list
Every photograph is chosen with care. No promised count, no filler.
No rushed delivery. The gallery comes when it's actually ready.
One photographer who's paid to pay attention
PRICING
Lovers Sessions from €900
Two to three hours in Hamburg or wherever feels right. For sessions outside Hamburg, I will tell you the complete travel cost before you decide.
ON BEING PHOTOGRAPHED
You are allowed to feel uncomfortable.
Being photographed creates a particular kind of awareness. Suddenly you can see yourself trying.
I am not waiting for you to become more confident, more relaxed or more photogenic.
We work with what is there until the camera is no longer the most important thing in the room.
Not improved. Not corrected. Still you.
Tell me what feels like yours.
A place, a half-formed idea or simply the feeling that now might be the time.
