Model With Me
Model for my projects
I’m regularly looking for new models to collaborate with on personal photography projects. If you like my work and would like to add something new to your portfolio, feel free to get in touch.
We’ll talk through the options and choose a concept that suits you best and feels natural. I usually have plenty of ideas in mind, but the final direction always develops together with you – around your personality, your mood and what feels right for you.
Previous modelling experience or a professional portfolio isn’t required. What matters more is a shared wish to make something worth keeping.
What matters
A shared creative vision matters more than experience.
For my personal projects, I’m not just looking for experienced models with professional portfolios. What matters much more is whether we connect as people and creatively, whether my photography resonates with you, and whether we have a similar vision for the images we’d like to create.
I enjoy working with beginners, professional models, dancers, and women who simply like my work and would love to try a photoshoot. Experience is welcome, but it’s certainly not a requirement. What matters is openness, reliability, and a desire to create something we’ll both find meaningful.
A few simple photos are all you need to get started.
You don’t need professional photos or an existing portfolio to apply. A recent portrait and a simple full-length photo are plenty – phone photos taken in natural daylight are absolutely fine.
These help me get a sense of what you currently look like and what kind of shoot might suit you naturally. Ideally, choose everyday photos without retouching or elaborate styling, and with no revealing clothing. Simple, natural images are often the most useful for this purpose.
If you already have a portfolio, Instagram account, or another page featuring your photos, you’re welcome to include a link.
We’ll agree on all the details beforehand.
Every project is a little different. Before we commit to a shoot, we’ll discuss the concept, location, what to expect on the day, the number and type of finished images, and how they might be used or published.
We’ll also talk through your boundaries, any proposed nudity or revealing outfits, travel arrangements, and all the practical details. Whether it’s a paid shoot or a TFP collaboration – where you receive photos in exchange for your time – will be clear before either of us commits.
Submitting an application simply lets me know you’re interested in working together. It doesn’t mean you’re agreeing to a particular concept, nudity, or the publication of any images, and it doesn’t guarantee that we’ll go ahead with a project. All boundaries and terms must be discussed and agreed on by both of us.

What to expect
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.
