FAQ

Questions, answered clearly

Practical information about personal sessions and photographic collaborations.

Being photographed

Do I need any modelling experience?

Not at all. Most of the women I photograph are not professional models, and you don’t need any prior modelling experience in front of the camera.

I’ll guide you throughout the session and help with posing, posture, movements and expressions whenever needed. You don’t need to know what to do with your hands, where to look or how to stand.

Do I have to be nude?

No. We’ll always agree on the level of the session beforehand, and you decide where your boundaries are.

We can create anything from a classic portrait or photographs in clothing or lingerie to partially nude images or fine art nude photography. Often, very little needs to be revealed – the right lighting, posing and photo composition can create a sensual image in a very subtle way.

You will never be expected to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.

What if I don’t know how to pose?

That’s completely fine. I don’t expect you to arrive knowing how to pose or how to look in front of the camera.

I’ll guide you throughout the session. Sometimes that means suggesting a specific pose, and sometimes it’s simply a small adjustment to your posture, expression or movement. I’ll also shape the lighting to bring out what works best for you. At the same time, I like to leave room for natural moments, as these often lead to some of the most interesting photographs.

What if I’m not confident about my body?

You don’t need to look like a professional model to have beautiful photographs. I’ve photographed many dozens of women of different ages, nationalities and body types, and I approach every person individually.

Lighting, camera angle, posing, composition and the overall concept are all chosen to suit you. The aim is not to make you look like someone else, but to create photographs in which you genuinely like the way you look.

Can I say no to something during the session?

Of course. Even if we agree on a concept and boundaries beforehand, you can change your mind at any time.

If a particular pose, idea or direction doesn’t feel right, we simply adjust it or leave it out. You can also take a break or stop the session at any point.

Can my photographs remain completely private?

Yes. Having a photo session does not automatically mean giving permission for the images to be published.

If you want your photographs to remain private, I will respect that. Any use of your images on my website, in my portfolio, on social media or elsewhere requires your explicit permission.

Privacy can also be considered while we are shooting – for example, by creating images without showing your face or other easily recognisable features.

Can I bring someone with me?

In most cases, yes. If having someone you trust with you would help you feel more comfortable, we can arrange that in advance.

It depends on the location and the nature of the session, so please let me know beforehand.

Where can the photo session take place?

The location depends on the kind of photographs we want to create. It might be a professional studio, an interesting interior, a hotel room, an apartment or an outdoor location.

You don’t need to find the location yourself. I can suggest options that suit the style and atmosphere we are aiming for.

I am available for photography sessions anywhere in Europe, and sessions globally can also be arranged.

How should I prepare for the session?

No complicated preparation is required from your side. Before the shoot, we’ll discuss the overall idea, style, wardrobe and anything else that may be useful to bring.

If you have photographs you like, feel free to send them as inspiration. We don’t need to recreate them exactly – they simply help me to understand the mood and style you prefer.

There is no need for you to invent a complete concept. That’s something we can develop together.

Can I bring my own ideas?

Absolutely. If you already have a particular idea, mood or type of photograph in mind, I’ll be happy to discuss it with you.

And if you’re not quite sure what you want yet, that’s perfectly fine too. We can start with what you like about my work and build a concept around you from there.

Can I give a photo session as a gift?

Yes. A photo session can make a very personal gift for a partner, wife, friend or someone else close to you.

I can also prepare a gift voucher. The style and scope of the session will then be discussed directly with the person receiving it, so that the experience reflects her own preferences and boundaries.

And if you would like to create your own photographs as a personal gift for your partner, we can plan that together as well.

Modelling & collaboration

Do I need professional experience?

No. You don’t need modelling experience or a professional portfolio. What matters much more is that you like my style, want to create beautiful images, and are willing to take an active part in the shoot.

I’ll guide you whenever you need it, so you don’t have to know how to pose. What I do appreciate is a willingness to follow direction, try new things, and share your own thoughts. Good communication, reliability, and mutual trust matter more to me than how many shoots you’ve done.

What photos should I send?

A few simple, recent photos are all you need – up to eight in total. Ideally, include a straightforward portrait and at least one full-length photo. Phone photos taken in natural light are absolutely fine.

They don’t need to be professional, retouched, or styled. Please don’t send revealing photos – they aren’t needed.

If you have an Instagram account, a portfolio, or a profile on a modelling website, you’re welcome to include a link.

Are these paid shoots?

My personal photography projects are usually TFP collaborations, meaning we both contribute our time and receive images for our portfolios.

I cover costs directly related to the shoot, such as studio hire and any travel expenses we’ve agreed on. If a project involves payment or different arrangements, we’ll make those clear beforehand.

I want us both to know where we stand on costs and practical details well before the day of the shoot.

Does every project involve nudity?

No. What a shoot involves always depends on the project and what we agree on together.

For most of my personal projects, though, I’m looking for models who are comfortable with full nudity. That doesn’t mean every final image will be a nude, or that you’ll be nude throughout the shoot. We can adapt the concept to suit you, your personality, and what we want to create together.

The images can be very subtle, and if needed, we can keep your identity partly or entirely concealed – for example, by keeping your face, recognisable tattoos, or birthmarks out of view.

Do I have to agree to everything you suggest?

No. Before the shoot, we’ll discuss what we want to create and where your boundaries are. During the shoot, you can also say at any time if a particular pose, shot, or idea makes you uncomfortable.

I ask that you communicate openly with me, too. I believe the best images come from a shared understanding of what we want to create and a sense of trust in each other.

Do the photos have to be published?

We’ll agree on how the images can be used before the shoot. For personal projects, I generally work with the intention of sharing selected images in my portfolio, on my website or social media, or in other presentations of my work.

If you need to remain anonymous or have specific restrictions on where or how the images can be published, please mention this when you first get in touch. That can also help shape how we approach the shoot itself.

What if I don’t want my face to be visible?

That can often be accommodated. I enjoy creating images where the face isn’t the main focus, and anonymity can even become part of the concept.

We can use angles, lighting, hair, shadows, and composition to keep you from being readily identifiable in the final images. We can take a similar approach to distinctive tattoos or other recognisable features.

Just let me know before we start developing a specific concept.

Does applying guarantee a shoot?

No. Applying simply lets me know you’re interested in working together.

I’ll look through the photos and information you send, and if I have a project I think you’d be a good fit for, I’ll get in touch with a more specific idea. We can then talk it through and see whether it feels right for both of us.

You’re just as free as I am to decide, after that conversation, that a particular project isn’t for you.

Can I apply if I live in another country?

Yes. I travel and shoot around the world, so distance doesn’t have to be a barrier.

Just include your city and country in the form. Even if I’m not currently planning a shoot near you, I travel often and may be in your area later. If the right opportunity or project comes up, we can work out the details.

How do we choose a concept?

You don’t need to come with a fully formed idea. I usually have several concepts in mind, and we can choose one together based on your look, personality, experience, location, and what appeals to you.

If you have an idea, a reference photo, or a particular mood you’d like to explore, feel free to send it over. We don’t have to recreate it exactly – it can be a starting point for something of our own.

Start with a conversation.
