What is this FAQ about?

I’m an amateur photographer; I love the fine art of photographing. If I pointed you to this page, it is probably because I asked you to model for me. Please read it and feel free to ask if you have any questions!

What kind of photography do you do?

I’m specializing in digital photography, with its specific limitations and specific possibilities. When models are concerned, I try to be a fine-art photographer. The design of nature is not only incredible deep and logic, but it is of a beauty that is beyond our grasp. The female body is, as far as I’m concerned, one of the most elegant forms that nature ever witnessed. I admire the beauty of the human female above all other things in nature and it is my passion to bring homage to this beauty and elegance. It is my conviction that a woman’s beauty is at its prime in submission and devotion. This will be to some extend reflected in the pictures itself. But what is important here, is that I’m unable to work with arrogant or dominant people. This is both in looks and behavior. Besides this limitation, I am always looking for new models to pose for me. I especially love to work with beginning models with an open mind. Interesting eyes are probably the most important asset.

How are your photos used?

My work is not used for professional purposes, however as you will see in the standard model release, I reserve myself the right to do so (maybe I will ever publish a book, or sell pictures?).
Of course that is the model release that assumes that you get paid for modeling for me. I’m open to all other forms of collaboration. For example we can agree on a no pay and no publish-rights basis, or if you pay, you could get all rights.

Can I bring an "escort" to the shoot?

Sure, but please consult first. My wife can be present or not if that would be an issue for you.

Do you have a portfolio?

Well, my portfolio is here on this website. You can consider the "Gallery" as my book/portfolio.

Do you have references?

Well, there are a few models that you could ask, I can send their emails and phone numbers, … but as you will understan, I will only do so if I’m very sure who you are! If you're afraid about a photographer - if you think you may be dealing with a creep – you must be careful of course. I make a point of doing my work openly - that's my real name up here, my full cv with all personal detail on this website - the persons you have to worry about are the persons who email you from a hotmail account, leave no phone number or address, and want to meet you alone in an hotel room someplace.

How much do you pay?

Let us negotiate about that. I’m not a professional photographer; I do not paid projects … so I do not want to pay much. All depends on you, your needs and what rights you want to obtain.

How much do I have to pay?

Well, generally my models do not have to pay me. I love photographing.
Of course that also means if there is something that I do not like, I just will not agree to do it.

What kind of photos do you want to take of me?

It completely depends on you, the situation, what kind of lighting or location is available, and what we agree on shooting. I've done everything from very sincere conceptual fine art to erotic fetish stuff. I love it all. I'm particularly fond of the nude female form, though, I have to admit, so I almost always tend to get my models to show a lot of skin wherever possible. But above all, you are a unique person, and have unique qualities. These will be the most important in determining the synergy and symbiosis of the moment, resulting in a specific inspiration … and yes, you can have all the input you want or need.

What rights do I give you / what document will I have to sign

Depending on your needs and goals, we can negotiate about it, but I can send you of course my standard model release.
