LIGHT
COMES
FIRST
Available Light is the basis of my work with models in the field of sensual people & nude photography. It gives me the freedom to be creative and my model the scope to move naturally in front of the camera. That's why "Light Comes First" is the basic philosophy of my shoots, workshops and coachings.
Welcome to my website. I am Sacha, photographer and trainer, specialized in sensual erotic portraits and nude art pictures, photographed with natural light. I pass my knowledge on to you in the form of photo workshops, individual and online coaching, photo events, video trainings or on Patreon. With the experience of more than 250 workshops as well as numerous coachings and photo events I will show you the secrets of my photography and working method.
Besides my work as a photographer and trainer, I am also involved in other projects in the field of photography such as the rental studio LOFT STUDIO COLOGNE or the online magazine MARLEY. Always at my side: My wife Monika. She is make-up artist and hairstylist and the good soul at our workshops and photo events. Together we work as a team at home and abroad. If you would like to learn more and discover the secrets of my sensual photography, just have a look at my training and workshop offers or contact me via email.

Photo event
The coaching possibilities in the field of photography are manifold. No matter if it is a photo workshop, photo course, individual coaching, mentoring or photo event, there is the right format for every photographer. Therefore I offer you a wide range of different and individual coaching concepts to support you in your development in the best possible way. I pick you up at your personal level of experience and take you to the next stage.
Sensual erotic portraits and nude art photos are especially effective because of their realistic and authentic presentation. It is not only about the perfect representation of the body, but also about the representation of emotions and feelings. These come to life when they are given an authentic setting, which is why I like to use scenic locations for my shoots, as well as for my workshops and coaching sessions. That way you learn quickly and easily how to give your pictures more character, expression and mood.
Photo Workshop
My workshops usually start where most other workshops end. Instead of sutter speed, iso, aperture, we deal with the essential aspects of emotional and sensual photography: Concentrating on our model and communicating with her, skilfully reading and using natural light, and creating an exciting color and image composition to give our pictures the desired atmosphere. You will learn all this in my exclusive workshops with especially small groups of participants, starting with a relaxed but well funded theory session and an extensive practical session including a discussion of your pictures.
Individual Coaching
For those who want to achieve maximum learning success in one day, I offer the possibility of individual coaching in my studio, the LOFT STUDIO COLOGNE. - You want the most intensive support? Then individual coaching is just right for you. Here you learn everything, starting with the theory before the shoot, how to create a good moodboard, how to plan the shoot and how to deal with the model in the right way. You will gain a lot of practical experience during the shooting. During the whole coaching I will be at your side with advisory and to help you to achieve your personal goals.
Mentoring
For particularly ambitious photographers - Each year I assign a total of 6 slots at my mentoring program. With each photographer I meet once a month, in person or online for a 1.5h-2h coaching session. Your individual development and the achievement of your photographic goals is our common mission. The focus is on developing your personal style. No matter whether on a photographic level with the shaping of your own visual style and the improvement of your post production or on a business level with the expansion of your own photo business.
Photo event
The premier class and probably the most exclusive event that you can find in the field of model photography. Follow me on my photo events to the most exclusive locations and breathtaking studios worldwide. No matter whether Andalusia, Sicily, Moscow, Thailand or Bali. Shoot by far the best models in the scene, build up an outstanding portfolio and learn in exchange with me and the other participants at the highest level. Enjoy the regional, culinary delights and experience a fantastic time with us, our models and other photographers.
