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.

Love Game
Let’s play. Sunshine, sneakers, and serious style. Anastasia Murr and Bogdana Voloshyna took over a tennis court in Lisbon for a shoot that’s all fun, no rules. Shot by the photographer Ana Dias for Playboy, this duo brought energy, beauty, and just the right amount of attitude.
“This was my first time doing a tennis shoot… and I loved it!” says Dana, a model and ballet dancer now living in Lisbon. “The vibe, the outfits, the team, everything just worked. I didn’t expect to like tennis this much!”
Anastasia, who’s based in Paris, was just as excited. “I’ve always wanted to try it. Tennis just feels cool. We played around a little, but mostly I was trying not to miss the ball while posing,” she laughs.
The chemistry between them? Instant. “No competition, just teamwork,” says Dana. “We were hyping each other up the whole time.” Nastya adds, “When I found out she was Ukrainian too, it felt like a small piece of home.”
The whole day felt like summer in a bottle, bright, fun, and full of good vibes. “After the shoot, I walked through the city with the biggest smile,” says Nastya. “It was just one of those perfect days.”
Tennis never looked this good. Watch these two light up the court, and own every shot.
