Nude Fashion in Balance

This series grew out of one of my Nude Fashion workshops with model Olivia Linz at the BeInspired Fotoschule in Zurich. In a small setting, I invite participants into a session that moves from lingerie to nude fashion, and the focus is never only on nudity itself. What interests me is the space in between: the transition, the form, and the way the female body enters into a quiet dialogue with clothing and props.

The visual language of the series is restrained and calm. The black-and-white approach gives the images a clear structure, while the light stays soft enough to preserve atmosphere and detail. I wanted the photographs to leave room for suggestion, so that something is visible without becoming fully exposed. This balance creates a tension that feels understated rather than loud.

I am interested in the moment where the body is present, but never fully explained.

In working with Olivia Linz during the workshop, I was drawn to how presence can be shaped through reduction. The body does not need to dominate the frame to remain central. Instead, it can appear through posture, contour, and the careful placement of form within the image. That is where the photographs begin to breathe.

For me, this series is about keeping the image open. I am interested in photographs that hold back just enough to let the viewer stay with them. The result is not about display, but about sensitivity, rhythm, and the quiet attraction of a figure seen with care.
