In Greek mythology, Muse referred to any one of the nine daughters of Mnemosyne and Zeus, each of whom presided over a different art or science. Muse in modern day terms refers to a guiding spirit or a source of inspiration.

The kind people at NUDE magazine have sent the latest issue to press and it will be available during the next days. I’m very pleased to announce that one of my muses, Candace Nirvana, is published in the summer/fall issue of Carrie Leigh’s NUDE magazine, having a special “MUSE Feature”.

She really deserves the designation of a poetic muse, as she adds the complementary to my ideas and visions, making them one of a kind visual poems.

As far as I am informed, the NUDE editors picked 3-4 pieces of my work with Candace, among many other outstanding images from her collaboration with other artists.

The links below guide you to a preview compilation of the upcoming issue as well as to the pre-ordering page where you can place your order for single copies or subscriptions.

This event might be interesting for those who always wanted to know more about my photography, my style and workflow. I’ll be giving an insight in the artsy-fartsy world of VT as well as presenting some “old fashioned” printing techniques.

Also there will be presentations held by other 6 photographers, covering panorama, people/portrait, wedding, product and landscape/city photography.

An “all-in-one” event, so to speak.

The event will take place October 30th, 2010 at

Luminanz GmbH Saarbrücken
Quartier Eurobahnhof
Lützelbachstr. 13
66113 Saarbrücken
