Your tip for taking better photos:Let your model move naturally and free. Be aware of the natural light and do not use the flash. For streetphotography I prefere a dramatic light situation.

What we love about his photos (by @spiegeleule):

A mysterious mood surrounds the photos of SweetBreeze. Looking at the photos states a remarkable handwriting of a photographer. Photos of women, taken in a sensual and respectful way. The person facing towards the window stays anonymous and leaves room for the spectator to relate to the subject. The stories being told are vague and full of a unspecific longing.

The look from a hotel bed through a window. White sheets and the light breaking into the room through the gaze of the curtains. The silhouette of a lonely woman appears in the room and instantly attracts the viewers attention. Who she might be, what she sees or why she seems to be waiting – these questions will remain without a reply.
