Playboy Meets Sex Now
I made it to the Kunstpalast Museum in Düsseldorf!
My photo is featured on the cover of Playboy Germany’s exclusive art special edition, available only at the museum shop of Düsseldorf’s NRW-Forum, as part of the SEX NOW exhibition.
I’m beyond thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking exhibition. Spanning ten themed rooms and more than 400 works, SEX NOW explores lust, bodies, and desire through art, design, and media. It weaves together historical perspectives, queer viewpoints, and future visions of intimacy, creating a space that sparks dialogue about sexuality and society.
I’m honored that my work joins this conversation through the pages of Playboy’s art edition, alongside other notable artists such as Joëlle Dubois, Erika Lust and Viktoria Krug within an exhibition that dares to question, provoke, and expand perspectives.

Lucky Number 9
Playboy USA will forever hold a very special place in my heart. It’s where it all began, and where I always dreamed of working.
Throughout the years, I’ve had the joy of collaborating with so many incredible international editions, but there’s nothing quite like seeing my work come to life in the pages of the American edition, the very heart of Playboy.
The Winter 2025 issue has just been announced, an absolutely iconic edition bringing together twelve stunning Playmates in one timeless celebration! I’m beyond proud and excited to have photographed two of these amazing women: Michelle Weisstuch and Noémie Neuens.
This project means so much to me, as I photographed these extraordinary women during my pregnancy, while expecting my baby boy. Creating life and creating art at the same time made this journey incredibly emotional and unforgettable for me.
With this release, I have now photographed nine Playmates for Playboy USA, and every single one feels like a dream come true.
Playmates I’ve photographed for Playboy USA:
Michelle Weisstuch – July 2025 Playmate
Noémie Neuens – May 2025 Playmate
Priscilla Huggins – July 2020 Playmate
Marsha Elle – April 2020 Playmate
Teela LaRoux – July 2019 Playmate
Yoli Lara – June 2019 Playmate
Miki Hamano – March 2019 Playmate
Olga De Mar – October 2018 Playmate
Valeria Lakhina – July 2018 Playmate
Forever grateful for this journey.

Kim Kardashian | SKIMS Swim 2025
Kim Kardashian is turning up the heat for SKIMS Swim’s Summer 2025 campaign, shot by Playboy photographer Ana Dias on the stunning shores of the Bahamas. With crystal-clear waters and soft, sugary-white sand, the scene feels like an island dream come to life.
Drenched in baby oil and glowing like a goddess, Kardashian stuns against the gentle waves, her poses evoking old magazine cover vibes that feel both iconic and fresh. The collection? Straight-up fire—with sleek cuts and bold prints designed to make everyone stare.
“I absolutely love how this collection has something for everyone—whether you’re on vacation or at the beach, it’s all about feeling confident and amazing in what you wear,” says Kardashian, SKIMS Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer.
And because SKIMS does everything big, the campaign takes it to the next level: a massive 18-meter balloon in Times Square, featuring Kim Kardashian in the season’s hottest blue bikini. A bit of NYC edge meets tropical heat—just the kind of bold energy SKIMS is all about.
