Where is your studio located?
My studio is in Bavaria, 87776 Sontheim near Memmingen in the Allgäu region. It’s about 100 km west of Munich, 80 km east of Lindau on Lake Constance, and thus not far from Austria and Switzerland—approximately 384,400 km from the moon, and by train 2.567 light years away.

Why do you do this?
My photo studio Frau-Sein.de is all about aesthetic staging, sensual moments, and the diversity of human expression. In order to offer my clients even more space for creative image ideas, I integrated a small dominatrix studio into my existing studio. It’s available both for extraordinary photo shoots and for private rentals.
One thing I want to emphasize: Everything that happens here is based on respect, consent, and mutual trust. No request or scenario will ever be carried out against the will of those involved, and I have no interest in pushing anyone’s boundaries. I view my service rather as a form of artistic role play in which dreams and fantasies can come to life within the protected context of a photo shoot.

What should I bring when I come to see you?
A good mood and a willingness to experiment! :-)
You don’t need to bring clothes, shoes, makeup, or anything like that—I have all of it in abundance. However, if you want to be photographed partly or entirely in your own outfits, that’s absolutely possible.
--- --- ---
What am I allowed to bring along?
Anything you like. Often people have their own special fetish equipment that means something unique to them. No matter what it is, feel free to bring it, and we’ll try to incorporate it into the session.
--- --- ---
Where are your limits?
Wherever it becomes unaesthetic. And, of course, I only do things that fully comply with the law. I also decline any scenario involving permanent marks. Everything is staged and agreed upon in advance. We use safe signals or words—“IT’S A GAME.”
--- --- ---
Do I have to shave?
Your face, yes. A freshly shaved face is essential, and no, a mustache or full beard can’t be simply covered with makeup (I’ve had some strange inquiries about that!).
As for your arms, legs, and chest, you’re not required to shave them. However, if it’s possible for you, it can be helpful—for instance, if you want to wear low-cut dresses, a shaved chest works better.
Please shave on the morning of your appointment. If you don’t have time before you arrive, you can shave at my studio.

Can I bring my wife/girlfriend?
No problem at all—though typically only one person you’re in a relationship with. If you have a friend who’s just curious, you can bring her along too, but please let me know in advance.
--- --- ---
Do I need to bring something to eat?
You don’t have to. I’ll even get you something if you’re chained up :-)

Is there a transgender-friendly hotel near you?
Absolutely. In the towns of Ottobeuren and Memmingen, almost all hotels are familiar with the trans topic—especially in Ottobeuren, where my guests have been staying since 2002. My recommendation is always to book via www.HRS.de, www.Booking.com, or www.trivago.de. If you’re traveling by train, it’s best to look for a hotel in Memmingen; all the downtown hotels there are aware of this topic. Of course, the key is always to act and appear very respectfully. You’ll be booking your hotel room yourself.

When I come to see you, who else will be there besides you?
Apart from my beloved dog Elliot, it’ll just be the two of us. Since I place great value on individual attention, anonymity, and exclusivity, I generally don’t accept multiple guests at once—unless you want to do a photo shoot with a trans friend or your partner. This should be a personal experience. You should be able to speak openly, leave everyday life behind, have a wonderful time, and also feel free to ask any questions that concern you personally.

What if something serious comes up and I have to cancel at short notice (1–2 days) beforehand?
Unforeseen events happen—car trouble, illness, etc. In that case, please just give me a quick call at +49 (0)171-3132667 to let me know why you can’t make it, and we’ll find an alternative date. I’m talking about genuine reasons, not excuses.
If you buy a concert ticket and can’t go for some reason 1–2 days beforehand, you won’t get a refund, and the concert will go on without you. The same goes for a travel booking. There are plenty of similar examples.
What happens if I simply don’t show up without any notice, maybe because I lost my nerve or suddenly didn’t feel like it?
Your deposit becomes a cancellation fee, and the remaining balance may be claimed according to the terms and conditions (AGB).
What do you refuse to photograph?
Hardcore pornography
Anything illegal
Anything I personally deem unaesthetic
I appreciate good ideas and creative scenarios, and I’m neither conservative nor prudish, but I do have boundaries I won’t cross. Please discuss your ideas with me in advance.
--- --- ---
Will you feminize or train me?
Yes, I’m a makeup artist and photographer, and for certain stagings, I also act as the dominatrix. My fetish equipment is mainly used for visual staging—there are no agreed-upon “acts” beyond that.
--- --- ---
I’m not 25 anymore—is that a problem?
No :-) Most of my guests are 45+.
--- --- ---
I’d like to experience being restrained or isolated for a longer period. Is that possible?
Yes, we can discuss it in detail, and there will never be a moment where you’re in any danger.
Will pictures of me be published on your website?
No, not unless you explicitly wish them to be.
Do I have to bring my own clothing or equipment?
In principle, no, but many people have favorite toys they’d like to use. We can certainly incorporate those if discussed beforehand.
