Want to model or need a portfolio?

(Before you do a shoot with anyone - you should read this - click here)

I do portfolio work for models, both amateur and professional.

If you want to include some of my work in your portfolio or want me to do a complete portfolio for you,
please contact me so we talk about your needs and whether I would be the right one for you.

Warning - I am not inexpensive - but you will get the best I can deliver for you
- and I am very good.
I do not stand you up against a wall and take a few frames and call that a portfolio.

- I will produce a portfolio for you that brings out what's different about you
- and that's what you need in a portfolio - you certainly do not want to look like every other model.

I do a lot - and I mean a lot - (I am a prolific artist) of personal work
- to satisfy my creative passion/juices/muses/compulsions/needs/obsessions....=8^).

 
This is mainly Fine Art type nude work - often considered sensual and erotic - but never pornographic
- mostly in the European style - and contemporary fashion, glamour, portraits and publicity shots
including CD covers, calendars, posters and postcards as well as commercial work for corporate clients.

If you want to work with me on a collaborative basis, send me an email or give me a call.
Your time and energy will be compensated for in a variety of ways.
It is fun (most of the time anyway), it is creative and hopefully will be of mutual benefit to both of us.

I'm interested in both female and male models, singles or couples. You must be 18 years of age or older, and in decent physical shape
(if we do a session outside, there's often a bit of walking involved, and modeling can be hard work
- and if we "click" you'll find that there is quite a bit of mental concentration involved and that can be quite tiresome
- a successful session should leave you pretty well exhausted).

A small or diminutive figure is fine as well as a "statuesque" one - the size of your "female attributes" is unimportant.
However - if you have had breast implants - unless this was exceptionally well done - I probably will turn down working with you.
Tattoos and/or body art is OK. It's great if you're an actor, dancer, exhibitionistit or just love to express yourself.
What I really look for is WHO your are and who you perhaps want to be - I want your mind - not your "enhanced body"..=*^)

Previous experience with modeling isn't necessary.
Don't worry about being comfortable in front of the camera
- you'll be surprised how easily you'll be very comfortable
- most of my models have never been nude in front of a camera before
- and age is immaterial - as long as you are at least 18 - I love shooting women in their 40's and 50's
- many women are late bloomers...=*^).

A shoot usually take 2 - 6 hours, depending upon where the photos are made, what they are for and so on.
Often the best work is a result of several sessions - for several reasons
- the better we get to know each other - trust each other - the easier it is to collaborate.
If you wish to keep your face out of the photos that's not a problem
(but what usually happens is that the model decides the images are beautiful and all should be shown).

I took my first nude photographs when I was 11 years (I grew up in Sweden)
- and I am still can't get enough of it - I see images in my mind all the time...=*^)

I am told over and over that my images "speak" - that they show "the soul" of the women I work with
- and that they never seem "staged" - and they rarely are
- what my images show is basically a record of what happened between the model and myself
- and the trust we develop that makes it all possible.

I prefer doing work with women who are interested in working with me as a means of self expression,
exploration and empowerment - please do not contact me if your interest is in getting paid for a shoot
- please understand that women come to me from all over solely in order to work with me - not to make money.

Neither will you receive a CD with the raw images from a shoot - if you are offered this by a "Photographer/Artist"
- you need to be aware that no professional or serious Artist/Photographer/Amateur/Professional will ever give away raw images.
An offer of a "CD with all the images from a shoot" is a sure sign you're dealing with someone who is an amateur
- someone who doesn't care about his/her work enough to even finish off the images you'll be showing around.

You will however recieve prints valued at more than $1,000 for each and every shoot we do as well as a
CD with copies of all the finished images which you can use for self promotion
(with certain restrictions as outlined in the model release/contract we both sign).

My images are about moments in time - in your lifetime - moments caught and held forever.
Special moments you will be able to recall, savor and appreciate years later.

If you are interested in working with me, or have any questions, just get in touch with me.
I am located in New Orleans, Louisiana and Phoenix, Arizona but travel as well.
If you want to work with me and live outside these areas I can usually arrange lodgings.
