For Models
For women who are curious about becoming part of a Fine Art series
You do not need to be a professional model to work with me.
Many of the most meaningful images begin with someone who is simply curious. A little unsure, perhaps. Drawn to the images, but not yet certain whether this could be right for her.
That is a good place to begin.
This work is not about performing confidence. It is not about looking perfect. It is about presence, light, trust, and the quiet moment when a person becomes part of an image rather than someone trying to pose for one.
How a session begins
A session usually begins with simple portraits.
Clothing. Light. Fabric. Hands. Shoulders. Breath. Small movements.
You are guided gently, step by step. You do not need to know what to do with your body. You do not need to arrive with poses in mind. I will guide you through posture, hands, face, shoulders, direction of light and rhythm.
Sometimes the work remains a portrait.
Sometimes it becomes softer and more intimate.
Sometimes it moves toward line, shadow, form and silence.
Nothing is rushed. Nothing is expected. Nothing changes at the session that has not been discussed before.
The three working levels
To make conversations easier and more discreet, I often use three simple codes.
They are not meant to hide anything. They are simply a respectful way to speak about different artistic directions without pressure or embarrassment, especially in public or during a first conversation.
#FAP - Fine Art Portrait
Portraits, presence, face, hands, clothing, light and expression.
This is often the starting point. Calm, elegant, human. It can remain fully clothed and focused only on portrait, atmosphere and expression.
Compensation for selected paid projects:
Time for Print (TFP)
This means there is no payment, but both model and photographer receive edited images for their portfolios.
#FAB - Fine Art Boudoir / Fabric & Atmosphere
Softer, more intimate images with fabric, clothing, swimwear, lingerie, natural light, interior atmosphere or natural surroundings.
This level is about mood, softness, texture and trust. It is not about posing in a forced or explicit way.
Compensation for selected paid projects:
up to 100 EUR / hour
#FAN - Fine Art Nude / Form & Light
A tasteful, non-explicit artistic study of line, shadow, body shape and sculptural form.
The face can be turned away, hidden or not recognisable. We can begin with anonymous or implied images, where the body is read more as form, silhouette and light than as exposure.
This is never expected. It is only one possible direction, and only if it feels right for you.
Compensation for selected paid projects:
up to 150 EUR / hour
Paid projects and TFP
For selected artistic projects, I offer paid collaborations.
The compensation depends on the agreed direction and duration of the session. A typical session lasts two to three hours. Depending on the concept, compensation usually ranges between 100 and 450 EUR.
In some cases, I also offer selected TFP collaborations. This means there is no payment, but both model and photographer receive edited images for their portfolios.
TFP can make sense when the idea has strong artistic value for both sides.
You stay in control
Before any session, we speak clearly about what is possible, what is not possible, and what should remain private.
There are no surprises.
No image is published before the agreed selection and usage rights are clear. Digital portfolio use, print use, exhibition use and publication are separate categories.
You can say no. You can pause. You can change direction. You can decide that something is not for you.
A good image does not require pressure. It requires trust.
What I am looking for
I am not looking for perfection.
I am looking for presence, curiosity, reliability and the willingness to enter a quiet creative process.
Age, body type and experience are not the centre. For some specific visual concepts, a more minimal, natural aesthetic may fit best, but this is always project-dependent.
What matters most is that the visual language feels meaningful to both of us.
What you may gain
Perhaps it begins with curiosity.
Perhaps with a little hesitation.
Perhaps with the thought: “I would love to see myself differently, but I am not sure I could do this.”
A Fine Art session can be a way to meet that thought slowly.
You may learn that you do not need to perform to be interesting. You may discover how light changes the way you see your body. You may find that stillness can be stronger than posing.
Sometimes one or two images can mean more than hundreds of quick photographs that disappear into a feed.
If you are interested
You do not need to decide everything today.
You can simply start a conversation. Tell me what draws you to the work, what you are curious about, and also what makes you hesitate.
That is often the most honest beginning.
