Getting Started

You Reach Out

Send me a message via email, WhatsApp, or Instagram — whatever feels easiest. You don't need to have everything figured out. A rough idea of what you're after is more than enough to start.

I respond personally to every inquiry, usually within 24–48 hours.

The Conversation

We Talk It Through

We'll have a short conversation — by message or a quick call — to understand what you need. What's the session for? What feeling do you want the photos to have? Do you have references or a mood in mind?

I'll ask a few questions and share ideas. By the end, we'll both know exactly what the session should look like. No obligation at this stage — just a conversation.

Booking

We Lock In a Date

Once we've agreed on the session type and scope, I'll send you the details: the date, the studio address in Kreuzberg, and everything you need to know to prepare.

A small deposit secures the date. The rest is paid after the session, once you've seen the results.

Good to know: Bring 2–3 outfit options. Get a good night's sleep. If you have reference images you love, send them over beforehand — it helps me plan the lighting and mood.

Shoot Day

The Session

You arrive at the studio in Kreuzberg. The space is private, comfortable, and designed to help you relax — not impress you with equipment.

From the first frame I'm directing you: posing adjustments, real-time feedback, reading the light. You don't need to know how to pose or perform. Most people forget they were nervous within the first ten minutes.

Most sessions run 60–90 minutes — enough time for outfit changes and multiple looks. Shorter headshot sessions and longer editorial shoots are also available.

Languages: Sessions are conducted in English, German, or Russian — whichever you're most comfortable with.
05
Post-Production

Editing

After the session you receive a private gallery with all the images from the shoot — unedited, so you can browse everything at your own pace and choose your favourites. You pick the number of images we agreed on, and those are the ones I retouch: color-graded, skin naturally refined, and optimized for both print and digital use.

I don't rush this part. Every gallery is edited with the same care as the shoot itself.

Turnaround: Edited photos are typically delivered within 7–10 business days.

How You Receive Your Photos

You'll receive a link to a private online gallery — a curated selection of professionally retouched images, ready to download in high resolution. Print-ready, press-kit-ready, social-media-ready.

If you'd like additional images from the session, or prints, we can arrange that too.

Format: High-resolution JPGs via private gallery link · Print files available on request

Step one is the easiest — just reach out. I'll take it from there.
