SENSEFUL PORTRAIT AND CURRENT PHOTOGRAPHY
with natural LIGHT

 

Available light is the basis of my work with models in the field of sensual people and nude photography. It gives me the freedom to develop creatively and my model the freedom to move naturally in front of the camera. That's why "Light Comes First" is the basic philosophy of my shoots, workshops and coaching sessions.

Welcome to my website. I am Sacha, photographer and trainer, specialized in sensual-erotic portrait and nude photography with natural light. I pass on my knowledge to you in the form of photo workshops, individual and online coaching, photo events, video training or on Patreon. With the experience of over 500 workshops, individual coaching sessions and photo events, I will show you the secrets of my photography and working methods.

Sensual portrait and nude photography is the high art of people photography and a particularly sensitive shooting area. With my coaching, I actively contribute to improving your image results in this genre, which benefits you as a photographer as well as your models.

Besides my work as a photographer and trainer, I run other projects in the field of photography like the rental studio LOFT STUDIO COLOGNE. Always at my side: my wife Monika. She is a 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 want to learn more and discover the secrets of my sensual photography, just have a look at my training and workshop offers or contact me by email.

 
 
 
 

WORKSHOP
COACHINg
Photo event


The training options in the field of photography are diverse. Whether photo workshop, photo course, individual coaching 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 the best possible way in your development. I pick you up at your personal level and bring you from there to the next level of development.

Sensual erotic portraits and nudes work mainly through their realistic and authentic presentation. It's not just about the perfect representation of the body, but about the depiction of emotions and feelings. These come into their own when you give them an authentic setting, which is why I like to use scenic locations in my shoots, as well as in my workshops and coaching sessions. So you learn quickly and easily how to give your images more character, expression and mood.

 
 
 
 

PhotoWorkshop

My workshops usually start where most other workshops end. Instead of shutter speed, iso, aperture , we deal with the essential aspects of emotional and sensual photography: focusing on our model and communicating with her, skillfully reading and using natural light, as well as creating an exciting color and image composition to give our pictures the desired atmosphere. You will learn all of this in my exclusive workshops with particularly small groups of participants, starting with a relaxed theoretical part and an extensive practical part including picture critiques.


Individual coaching

For all 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, in the heart of Cologne. - Would you like the most intensive support possible? Then individual coaching is just the right thing for you. Here you will learn everything, starting with the theory before the shoot, the creation of a good mood board, the planning of the shoot and the right way to deal with the model. You'll also get plenty of practical experience during the shoot. During the entire coaching, I will be at your side to advise you and help you achieve your personal learning goal.


PhotoEvent

The royal class and probably the most exclusive thing you can find in the field of model photography. Follow me on my photo events to the most exclusive locations and breathtaking studios worldwide. Whether Andalusia, Sicily, Moscow, Thailand or Bali. Shoot by far the best models on the scene, build up an incomparable portfolio and learn at the highest level in exchange with me and the other participants. Enjoy the regional culinary delights and have a fantastic time.
