Why Industrial Nudes?

It´s more a coincidence than anything else. When I was living close to Frankfurt I accidentally entered in a closed location where I´ve been told this could be an interesting location to tray some ideas. And there you go… an abandoned railway workshop middle in the city, with big signs “keep-off”. This is how it started. I was captured by the idea of the contrast between the elegance and beauty of women and the dirt and darkness of these places. Germany is a perfect place to find such places for shooting in this style. What I like particularly is that all places are very different from each other. So after 4 years, although I see a lot of people also try similar stuff, the fascination still remains, and my work continues. I currently shoot in NRW, the region of the Rhine, which is perfect for finding these abandoned places. All you have to do is keeping your eyes open when you travel!
