Shooting

“A portrait is a deep meeting with your true self.”Tabea Marten

If you would like to have a portrait session, the process begins long before the camera.

It starts with a personal and in-depth conversation. In a safe and respectful setting, we get to know each other: your personality, your wishes, and what wants to be seen. This conversation is not just preparation—it creates a shared, mindful energy. On this foundation, we meet each other as equals.

From this exchange, we develop an individual concept together—authentic and entirely tailored to you. The location is chosen deliberately to reflect you, to give you space to be yourself, and to feel natural. Everything is allowed to emerge; nothing is forced.

The subsequent session is a spontaneous, sensitively guided photography experience. With time, calm, and sufficient breaks. Depending on needs and process, the session lasts between one and six hours. It’s not about posing or perfection, but about presence, expression, and making visible what lives within you-portraits of the soul.

After the session, you choose the images that most reflect who you are at your own pace. If necessary, subtle retouching may be applied, but the photographs’ impact should unfold naturally without heavy technical intervention or artificial alteration. Authenticity is paramount.

The final photographs are yours, including worldwide publication rights. They belong to you and may be shared as you see fit.

This session is an invitation to encounter yourself, to be seen, and to recognize yourself in images that are honest, profound, and timeless.
