I feel more confident and my clients have noticed the difference.Brilliant photographer. The images always turn out wonderfully, and every shoot takes place in a warm yet highly professional atmosphere. For black-and-white images, Sascha is the one.
(Translated from German)
I never saw boudoir as something for me. Too staged, too cliché. But Sascha created something else. Something that felt like a poem—with me as the verse.When a photographer opens your eyes to something new and leaves you completely fascinated... Sascha van der Werf!
(Translated from German)
Sascha was always there without ever drawing attention to himself. Yet he saw everything. What an eye, what a feel for the moment!
(Translated from German)
Beautiful work—I’m genuinely impressed.
The portraits are exceptional, especially the white coat set and the black sofa series. Thank you.I did this shoot for me. No gift, no occasion. Just a reminder that I haven’t disappeared—that I’m still hereTo be seen like this again at fifty — not as a mother, not as a wife, but as myself. It was a gift. To myself. Tanja / Boudoir I had clear ideas — and a thousand doubts. Sascha listened, understood me, and created something that went deeper than any image.
(Translated from German)
This boudoir session wasn’t an act of vanity. It was an act of self-respect. I didn’t transform—I rememberedThank you sooooo much for the fantastic results! I'm just sooooo in love with what we have done.I was surprised by how natural everything felt. No kitsch, no clichés — just me, in a space full of trust. The images aren’t just beautiful; they show me the way I want to feel: strong, erotic, sensual, real.
(Translated from German)
We’re really happy with the photos. Some are already hanging on our walls as canvases or framed prints, and we’ve given some as gifts. They’re incredibly varied, show us authentically and with many different sides, and don’t look staged except where we deliberately wanted that. You often managed to capture our natural laughter, and your ideas also expressed our relationship as sisters so well!
(Translated from German)
Brilliant photographer. The images always turn out wonderfully, and every shoot takes place in a warm yet highly professional atmosphere. For black-and-white images, Sascha van der Werf is the one.

What Sascha creates is more than photography — it’s a space where you can meet yourself anew. I’ve rarely felt so seen. The images are a gift to myself.
(Translated from German)
Sascha is a wonderful photographer who doesn’t just love his profession — he has found his calling in it. You can feel and see that in the unique images: original, sophisticated and simply different from so many familiar photographer portraits. The atmosphere is always relaxed, which makes working with him a pleasure.

(Translated from German)
I wanted images that weren’t loud, but honest. Sascha created an atmosphere where I felt not only comfortable, but beautiful. Not staged. Real.
(Translated from German)
I found him through his Instagram poetry—his words feel like gentle touches. That’s exactly what he captured in images, too. A quiet miracleThese photos aren’t just memories—they’re a revelation. I discovered a new side of myself… and fell in love with her.Turning 50 changed a lot. I wanted to capture who I am now—sensual, strong, serene. Sascha did that in a way that honestly surprised me. Grazie Mille!!I was sceptical. Sensual? Me? But it wasn’t a cliché or a role to play — it was a quiet dance with light, glances and trust.
(Translated from German)
Sascha's attention to detail and commitment to authenticity brought my vision to life. He created a comfortable environment where I could express myself freely, resulting in stunning images that truly represent me. I highly recommend his services to anyone in the industry.Sascha has a gift for seeing and feeling that special moment. His photos are extraordinary because they also tell the story behind it.
(Translated from German)
We were nervous, excited, and curious all at once. Sascha created a space where nothing felt taboo—only natural. The way he captured our connection, the glances, the touches... it’s as if the images are still breathing. Intimate, raw, and deeply erotic—without ever crossing the line into clichéSascha made me feel seen, not just photographed. It was more than a session—it was an experience of reconnecting with myself. The images captured a confidence I didn’t know I had.It wasn’t about posing—it was about feeling. Sascha has a way of drawing out your essence without words. The images don’t just show my body; they tell a story. One I’m proud to share.An artist’s eye for the moment! His images always hit the mark. Highly recommended.
(Translated from German)
Looking at the images, you can tell the photographer has turned his passion into his calling!
(Translated from German)
“The artist sees what others only catch a glimpse of” — Leonardo da Vinci. No quote could describe his photography better. Anyone can take a photo, but rarely is a moment, with all its wonderful qualities, captured as beautifully as in Sascha’s images.
(Translated from German)
I didn’t want typical maternity photos — I wanted memories with soul. Sascha understood exactly that. The images are tender, strong and timeless. Like life itself.
(Translated from German)
Business photos? That’s what I thought. But this is art. Not stock images, but genuine presence. Authentic, expressive — exactly what I needed.
(Translated from German)
Sascha!!! I’ve got goosebumps, honestly… how insanely beautiful are these pictures?!
(Translated from German)
Bro. How did you do that?! I look like I’ve stepped out of a film!
(Translated from German)
Wow, I can’t stop looking at the pictures 😭 thank you, thank you, thank you.
(Translated from German)
That wasn’t a shoot, that was therapy 🙈 I somehow feel like a new person.
(Translated from German)
We’re completely speechless… honestly. Every image is spot on. Just wow.
(Translated from German)
I trusted Sascha — and it was worth it. His images don’t show me how I look, but how I want to feel: brave, sensual, alive.
(Translated from German)
Since the shoot, my profile hasn’t just grown — it’s gained depth. Sascha created images that don’t shout, but make you stop and look.
(Translated from German)
Sascha didn’t just take pictures. He made our connection visible. We felt as comfortable during the shoot as we do having breakfast together — real, light, familiar.
(Translated from German)
Sascha, I feel so beautiful in these photos 🥺 I’ve never seen myself like this before.
(Translated from German)
No staged pictures, no stiff poses — just us, exactly as it was. Every image takes us straight back to that day.
(Translated from German)
I thought I looked awkward in photos — but THIS?! I’m so happy right now!!
(Translated from German)
You can’t tell from the pictures how nervous I was beforehand. Sascha has a calmness that’s contagious. Suddenly everything was okay — even me in lingerie. And now? Now I love every single picture.
(Translated from German)
I knew I wanted something real. Not just “click and done”. Sascha helped me see myself with new eyes. I wasn’t just in front of the camera — I was with myself.
(Translated from German)
I had no idea what to expect. I just knew I wanted to feel strong in my own skin again.
Sascha created a space where I didn’t feel judged—just seen.
The images still surprise me. They’re quiet, but powerful.Holy shit. I love every single one. I even cried. Honestly.
(Translated from German)
It wasn’t a shoot, it was an experience. Sascha manages to be professional and deeply human at the same time. I’ve rarely met anyone who photographs with so much depth.
(Translated from German)
I finally wanted photos just for myself. No reason. No filter. Sascha turned it into a ritual — for self-love, for courage, for myself.
(Translated from German)
If I could, I’d recommend you to everyone out there — you’re simply special.
(Translated from German)
Omg Sascha, I can’t believe it 😭 is that really me?! I love every single picture soooo much!!!
(Translated from German)
Mate, what have you done?! I look like me — only better 😄 thank you so much!!!
(Translated from German)
Sascha… I just cried looking through them. You saw something in me that I’d forgotten myself.
(Translated from German)
We knew the photos would be good — but we didn’t expect them to move us like this. They’re art and memories in one.
(Translated from German)
Honestly — we’re overwhelmed. The photos are so incredibly intimate. Just wow. Thank you for giving us that trust!
(Translated from German)
I’m completely blown away. I’ve looked through the images ten times already, and I get more goosebumps every time 🖤
(Translated from German)
We wanted something honest, nothing artificial. Sascha gave us space — for closeness, for touch, for us. The photos are like an intimate language only we understand.
(Translated from German)
Mate, thank you. Finally, pictures of me where I don’t look awkward 😅 they’ve turned out so nice!!
(Translated from German)
You’ve truly worked a miracle. I’ve never felt so beautiful. And I really never say that!
(Translated from German)
Broooo, I love EVERYTHING!! I knew you were good, but THIS?! Holy shit 🔥🔥🔥
(Translated from German)
Sascha… I didn’t know I could feel like this while being photographed. Thank you for holding that space.
(Translated from German)
You captured our energy like no one else. The shoot was magical. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
(Translated from German)
It was simple—white walls, soft light, no distractions.
But somehow, in that simplicity, I felt more present than I have in a long time.
The pictures reflect exactly that. Honest, clear, and very much me.It was never about how I look. It was about how I feel. Sascha saw that, felt it — and captured it with a calmness that was almost magical.
(Translated from German)
The best!! Great guy... brilliant photos... brilliant ideas!! Whatever he photographs, it always looks amazing!!
(Translated from German)
From the very first moment, you understood what I had in mind and what I needed, without me having to explain much. And being photographed was so much fun!!
(Translated from German)
Sascha actually managed to photograph me authentically ;) I honestly didn’t think anyone could do that so well. And in such a relaxed atmosphere, too. I can absolutely recommend him for personal and business photos!
(Translated from German)
Absolutely wonderful photos! Highly recommended!
(Translated from German)
A relaxed and patient photographer! He makes you feel safe in front of the camera, so you come across authentically. The maternity photos are a wonderful memory! Thank you, Sascha!
(Translated from German)
Sensitive, kind, and you feel so comfortable during the shoot! No need to feel self-conscious! Excellent!!!!! I’d happily do it again.

Very creative and chilled photographer. Love to work together with him - very professional.Working together is fun, relaxed chilled (sometimes crazy) guy - love the outcome!Collaborating with Sascha was a game-changer for my online presence. His ability to create captivating content that resonates with my audience has significantly boosted my subscriptions. His discretion and understanding of the industry make him a trusted partner.Working with Sascha was an absolute pleasure. His professionalism and respect for boundaries ensured a comfortable and empowering experience. The photos have elevated my brand and attracted a more refined clientele.Sascha's photography transcends mere images; he captures the essence of who you are. His professionalism and artistic vision made me feel empowered and beautiful. The entire experience was liberating and the results were beyond my expectations.I didn’t come to be photographed—I came to feel. And that’s exactly what happened. The session was a slow burn of trust, curiosity, and awakening. Looking at the images, I see a version of myself I never knew existed—unapologetic, erotic, alive.As Charlie Waite said in 1949, “Photography is a love affair with life.” In Sascha van der Werf’s photographs, you discover a love of life, passion and the vast playground between light and shadow. He makes the captured moment something every viewer can feel, not just see!
(Translated from German)
Sascha says “I capture moments”, and he has an incredible eye for it... but he does so much more. His photos hold on to feelings! After a shoot with Sascha, you see yourself in a completely different light!

His work has been instrumental in redefining my image.Thank you for the wonderful photos — we’re really delighted with them.
(Translated from German)
I’ve done shoots before, but this one was different.
It wasn’t about looking sexy or posed. It felt like being part of something intentional.
Like every angle had meaning.You can feel in every photo that Sascha doesn’t just photograph — he feels with you. Our story is in every single image.
(Translated from German)
Workshops
Hello Sascha, first of all, thank you again for the wonderful day yesterday. Your openness and relaxed, sincere manner went down so well with all of us. I took away lots of inspiration and ideas. I also really appreciated your effort to give us as much as possible to take along on our own path.
(Translated from German)
Before working with Sascha, I felt lost with my camera—I was just clicking without intention. In just a few sessions, I started to understand light, composition, and most importantly, my own vision. Sascha’s approach is both structured and intuitive, making me see photography in a completely new way.I started with one session, but quickly realized that long-term coaching with Sascha was exactly what I needed. Over several months, he helped me refine my vision, structure personal projects, and develop a portfolio with real depth. His mentorship challenged me beyond technique—he helped me see with intention. Working with him has been a turning point in my photography.I’ve been doing photography for years, but something was always missing. Sascha helped me redefine my style, push creative boundaries, and build a portfolio I’m truly proud of. His long-term mentorship provided not just technical growth, but also a mindset shift. Highly recommended! Thomas, Intermediate –As a professional portrait photographer, I was looking for a fresh perspective. Sascha’s coaching challenged me to refine my artistic voice and break free from creative stagnation. His honest feedback and thought-provoking exercises made a massive impact on my work and confidence.Sascha’s online coaching was exactly what I needed. His ability to analyze my images and guide me toward stronger storytelling changed my entire approach to photography. Even through video calls, his feedback was detailed and incredibly valuable. I now shoot with clarity and purpose.Dear Sascha, thank you so much for the brilliant day. I came away with some fresh inspiration.

(Translated from German)
I was at a point where I almost wanted to give up. Your feedback gave me the courage to keep going.
(Translated from German)
I came in with questions about photography. I left with questions about myself—in the best way. Sascha didn’t just guide me technically; he challenged how I see, think, and create.
It was honest, eye-opening, and exactly what I needed.You have a gift for meeting people as equals, wherever they are on their journey. I felt taken seriously.
(Translated from German)
Thank you, Sascha. For your patience. For your honesty. For seeing things I hadn’t recognised myself.

A very enriching experience — photographically and personally. A clear recommendation for anyone who really wants to move forward.
