Last November I made one of my long lasting dreams come true and purchased a VW T2 Westfalia Camper Van from 1976. Because my new little friend spent 40 years of his live in sunny California, the body was in a quite good condition with little rust, but the interior was pretty shabby. It took me half a year to exchange the floor, refurbish the furniture, get new curtains, exchange the seat covers, built a new table, lay 40m of new cable, replace the insulation, install a second battery, a charger, a fridge, … and finish all the thousands of little repairs which needed to be done in my view.
Just a few days after I finished the interior, Sonya, one of my favorite models, visited me and we took a short joyride. I was quite happy that we got such a great weather. The first time she was at my place we had a rainy day and stayed in my studio. This time we fully enjoyed a warm and sunny day on the road and in the countryside.
Sonya is a quite petite, but none fragile girl with full of enthusiasm and passion for her work. I adore her open-hearted, lively and curious nature as well as her introverted moments which gave some of my pictures the peace and silence I love so much.
All images were taken with a Leica SL together with a Noctilux-M 1:0.95/50 and 1:1.25/75.
Your Model is really awesome! Love what you created here!
Very, very good set of photos. Quiet and introverted?? Certainly does not give that impression. Her mimicry might not change but her body language is incredible. Impressive.
Mal wieder unglaublich schöne Bilder in deinem Blog! Ich hoffe, ich bekomme auch mal soch eine Serie hin.
LG, Anna
Your work is always a very big inspiration for me. The light, the model and location choice, your perspectives and the general mood are just phantastic. Keep up with your great work.

Beautiful, so simple, therefore, so beautiful…
