architecture and nude male photography as free work. Male photography isn't easy and it was a long way to arrive at the point where I am now. Digital photography helped a lot with it, I think. I am a great admirer of the male body, influenced as I am by the old Greeks, Michelangelo and Robert Mapplethorpe. It is a phantastic work to see nude male bodies, to light them in a appropriate way and to realize a twodimensional image. It is phantastic to work with men who are willing to expose themselves to me and to the world, who inspire me, who stimulate my creativity and with whom I can have a real human interaction. Moreover, it is nearly the only situation in life of a perfect cooperation and the same intention: to make beautiful pictures. I try to keep off pornography, not for moral reasons or because I shouldn't like it, but because I first and fore all want to make beautiful photos. That's I think the main reason why I make pictures of nude men: the joy of beauty and eroticism. And you know: a thing of beauty is a joy for ever.
