In my opinion, ordinary nude
photography unfortunately only shows rather predictable or even banal
and degrading images. This is why I have chosen to show female body
forms from a somewhat different perspective: neither common nor erotic,
but strange. There are shelf loads of books focusing on female nudity,
but nearly all of them revolve around the sensual, erotic aspects of
this theme. The book that I am aiming at, however, is taking a
different approach: my theme is the estrangement of familiar female
body forms. Therefore, not just the theme but also the book itself
might be an odd body in the world of nude photography, since there are
not that many photographers who deal with this subject in the same
manner as I do. To me, women are not just familiar and sensual, but
also quite strange and remarkable. This series therefore reflects both
my admiration and my amazement about this phenomenon called: Woman.
