Relying on extensive experience, he knows exactly how to emphasize each individual's personality and body type to its best advantage. Knowledgeable he guides his models by advising them on posing, body posture, expression, and choice of outfit and props. Consequently, his portfolio consists of a wide variety of different people and characters.

The guiding principle of his photography is best summarized in the following sentence: "The unforgettable expression in people's eyes when I show them their pictures for the first time - it means everything to me and truly confirms that I'm doing something right."
