"The pictures Mario chose for this book open up the door to a fascinating universe and give us an inkling of what lies beyond. We always try to hold on the things we like, the things that impress and enchant us. And that is exactly what Mario celebrates in this fantastic book." Andreas H. Bitesnich, Vienny, May 2005 For the photographs of this book Mario has cultivated one principle in his work in particular. He opened up the borders between fashion, beauty and nude photography and allowed his models to give the images their own interpretation. It is very important to him that the woman in his pictures can present themselves in the way they feel. Mario deliberately withdraws so as not to dominate the collaboration between model and photographer. The result are intensive, mysterious pictures with an oscillating mixture of style, eroticism and personal expression - pictures Mario Schmolka himself call "intimate portraits".
