It was our second shoot; after our successful shoots last year, I was excited to shoot with him again. He is one of my favourite photographers because I am always 100% sure I will get incredible images from him. The Pictures look stunning, and I love them a lot. He’s such a lovely person to work with. He is always professional, kind, and polite. I loved working with him, and I hope we get to work together again. I would highly recommend him.

Joachim is a wonderful person. His knowledge about lighting is fantastic. I say he is incredible all around. A great photographer and first of all a great person. we had a great time shooting and created some fantastic shots. Pre communications were good, 100% professional.

Joachim is certainly unlike any other photographer (or person) I know! He came along to the chateau I was sharing with several other models and photographers in the South of France recently, and we had the opportunity to shoot several times over the course of the week. Joachim has a great eye and knows exactly what he wants, and has the ability to extract emotion from the model in a way that is pretty indescribable! I would often see him completely drained and occasionally tearful after the sessions, but his results were always amazing. Joachim is highly emotionally intelligent, but also funny and easy to get along with - it was a pleasure to get to know him over the week and I'd be delighted to work with him again any time. Recommended!

I just had the absolute pleasure of spending a week with Joachim, five models a stylist, and a group of Photographers.

I didn't have the chance to work directly alongside Joachim, but the images I saw were simply gorgeous, and I know that all of the models really enjoyed working with him.

Joachim has a very deliberate and highly developed style, and he is just perfect at what he does. If you ever get the chance to work with this really kind, skilled and pleasant man, snatch the offer. You won't regret it.

Joachim, it was a pleasure to spend time with you. Thanks for a week of inspiration. 👍

WOW! What can I say!?!

Joachim is just INCREDIBLE!

I recently spent a week with Joachim working in a French chateau. It was such a pleasure working with a very talented artist and kindred spirit throughout the week. Our shoots were very energetic, creative and together we managed to produce some killer images with raw, real emotion! I find it very hard to portray raw emotion on photoshoots, but we had time to chat before our first shoot to build up trust and become comfortable with one another. With Joachim's direction, energy and extraordinary empathic abilities, he was able to coax real, raw emotion out of me which I then used to our advantage to create beautiful, unique artwork together!

Thank you so much for a wonderful week and for being an amazing therapist (haha!) It was truly a spectacular experience and a gift working with you.

I would love to visit Madrid to go and shoot with Joachim again, on any occasion!

Highly recommended!

I've recently returned from a week in France at a chateau with 5 models, a stylist and a group of photographers. Joachim and I bonded from the start and I had the pleasure of working on a few sets together. His technical ability and painstaking attention to detail raised my game considerably. Spending 3 hours working out lighting for a parachute dress shoot up a ladder in a 14 century attic in the heat of a french summer day would be frustrating with most people, but with Joachim the time flew past. Socially he is fascinating and a great guy to spend time with.

Joachim is quite simply the best photographer that i've had the pleasure of working alongside. If you get the chance to shoot with him then grab it and be prepared for a fun filled adventure resulting in breath taking images.

I worked with Joachim recently at a beautiful chateau in the South of France!

It was our first time working together so I am always a little nervous but I needn't have been with Joachim! From the offset as soon as I met him I knew there was something very special about him. He has a wonderful presense and a magic touch with people- he truly brings out the very best from the model in his photography as he makes a genuine connection. He wants to feel what the model is feeling and actively encourages emotion and genuine expression in his work.

Working together like this involves alot of trust and I found his personality and aura very powerful and intense- saying that I GREATLY enjoyed working together and would absolutely LOVE to work together again- in a different setting, where I feel I can truly let go and release those emotions onto film.

We have discussed a project for the future which I know Joachim would be absolutely perfect for. He is a true artist in every way and I feel this really shows in his portfolo of work. He really cares about what he is producing and he sets the bar high.

The group we were with absolutely loved him- from a personal perspective Joachim easily became the "daddy" of the group. Hes just so likable, wise, caring and a beautiful soul to be around. He made a connection with every single one of the models who were working there over the course of the week- and they all spoke highly of him.

I greatly enjoyed his company and his time and can't wait to see what we produce in the future. I really look forward to seeing his beautiful photos from the week, they really were special. A very special man indeed- highly recommended, Helen x

Joachim attended the amazing French chateau trip last week and definitely made an impression…..he is one of the most creative individuals I have ever met, he is an artist, totally connecting to and capturing emotions in his lense, a passion that I’ve rarely seen!

He is a deep and gentle gentleman who has a beautiful way of shooting, using the grandiose scenes around to bring the attention right back to the models, never placing before a scene but becoming part of - he is absolutely mesmirising as a human and as a photographer, I can honestly say that never have I ever been so captivated by someone’s mind!

I can’t recommend this wonderful person to all, his photography is stunning and his techniques are breathtaking ♥

Joachim is an amazing guy to be with and I had the pleasure of being with him for a week in a French chateau with other models and togs .... he's passionate about his art which is always wonderful to see, and his art is breathtaking, plus he's also such a sweet guy. Couldn't have hoped for a nicer guy on the trip. Recommended!

It was a pleasure to work with Joachim, totally recommended ! He is a nice person, honest and with clear ideas. Easy going and super friendly. We spend a nice afternoon shooting together.

Thank you Joachim! Hope we repeat soon :)

It was a very good pleasure to work with Joachim. He respected my limits and made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot, yet we created brilliant work as a team. He was very professional, easygoing, great personality, kind and very creative. If you ever get a chance to shoot with him, I highly recommend him.

Wishing him the best in all his aspirations.

I had a great first shoot with Joachim on my first visit to Madrid. He very kindly let me stay in his beautiful apartment and I was very well looked after.

For our shoot we concentrated on expressive almost wild/animalistic art nude posing. Joachim had a clear idea of what he was looking to achieve and I really like the images we produced together.

Hopefully we can work together again this year.

Highly recommended.

Worked with Joachim while visiting Madrid. He is a very competent and creative photographer, together we decided on styling and the whole shoot was relaxed, professional and fun. Would definitely recommend to work with him!

It was a pleasure posing for you! Full of wonderful ideas, very competent with lighting and composition. Thanks for being flexible when I was a little lost this morning and running late!

I had worked with Xenkor last year around December at his studio-apartment.

He direct me with some different ideas for the shooting. Had listening to me when I had some comments and had a lot of attention about my stylish and make-up.

He has been very respectful and professional with me. I enjoy a lot work with him and I'm happy about the results. I definitely recommend Xenkor to another models who are interested to shoot with him.

thank you Xenkor! And sorry about the delay to leave you a reference, I was quiet busy :D
