What I am looking for?
I am always looking for
good looking female models. So if you want to have some real nice
photos of yourself, shot by a professional, you are in the right place here :-)The shooting will be planned in advance, so please read this page carefully, as it will clear a lot of your questions. I am also open to your ideas. Feel free to mention them.
When you finally have decided to have a shooting, we should talk about the shooting, makeup, clothes and the shootinglocation.
And don’t be afraid - everybody is nervous before a shooting. This is perfectly normal :-)
At the end of the shooting, nearly everybody says that it was really enjoyable and that there was absolutely no need to be afraid before!
What does it cost you?
I do not work commercially. I only work for free. That means, that I will not pay you either! No money for me, no money for you!Photography is a mere hobby for me.
What should you bring with you?
A good portion of good mood and lots of fun :-) Sure, you will need some patience and some time, too. A shooting is not finished within 30 minutes.Do you need to have experience?
You don‘t need to have any experience at all. I also like to work with beginners.What should you know before?
The copyright of the photos is mine! You will (if you want) get all photos from the shooting on DVD, USB-Stick or via internet), and you can choose your favorite photos, which I will then retouch to make them perfect (usually I work on contrast, light, colors, skin retouching and so on).Usually the shoot takes between 90min and 2hours. Especially beginners need a little more time.
Some of the photos I would like, with your consent, to use for my homepage (usually the photos you have chosen for retouching!).
Cancel the shooting?
No problem, but please in time! The best way would be to call me on my mobile phone.What should you know about the shooting and the preparation?
A good camera shows every detail, so be prepared! Every hair, every bruise and every imprint from your bra is visible on the photos. A lot can and will be retouched, but a good preparation is helpful.For example it’s easy to get rid of bodyhair before. It is nearly impossible to retouch - so, if you don’t shave it, it will be very visible on every photo! Please do not complain afterwards.
A little make-up, mascara, good looking toe- and fingernails and eyeliner is very helpful to get better results. I suppose you know better than me how to use your make-up ;-)
Don‘t worry about picks/ pimples - they will be retouched.
Please bring different outfits with you. During the shooting you can change. Usually I start with more formal outfits and then, if the model likes to, we move to a more sexy look. You are always in control of what happens, I will not ask you to do something, you don't want to do! Promised!
My tip would be to have a closer look at photoblogs, magazines and try find to find poses, which you like. We don’t need to imitate this 1:1, but it's a good start. Try to pose in front of your mirror :-)
Start for example here CLICK:
Think a bit about locations that you like. I am open to new ideas and places. We can also shoot in my studio.
I have no problem,if you come with a friend. If she likes, we can even shoot her too. Sometimes a third person can cause the model to hold back. So think about this before.
I don‘t shoot couples (with men) and I do not shoot children or minors under 18!
Since I Iike to retouch lots of photos in black & white it looks very good if you have black and white clothes with you, or clothes that show some contrast.
I suppose you would like to see photos of you, therefore it is not helpful if your clothes are too so it hides your body ;-)
Less tissue and more skin usually looks more sexy!
Don’t worry about scars, pimples and skin irritations. They will be retouched :-)
I am doing this for free, so it would be nice, if I could use some of the photos for my page. Keep in mind, that I spent lots of money on my equipment and a lot of time for every photos (one photos needs app.20min of retouching!).
How should you prepare yourself and what should you do before the shoot?
Don‘t be afraid of looking ugly or not too photogenic in the photos. Usually from 100 photos, one is really good. ;-)The best photos are those where you act as naturally as possible, or where you, depending on the situation, try to play/act a bit (crazy, sexy, sadlooking, funny etc...).
Standard - extravagant?
Photos in hotpants, bikini, with pantyhose, high heels, leather etc.?Well, it is not everyday’s outfit, but believe me, you will not have everyday’s photos:-)
Imagine you go out for a very hot Saturday night party - and dress like this! Sexy photos are the ones everybody gives a second glance! Be brave!
Generally spoken, everything that underlines your body, shows some skin, your legs, your butt or your back looks cool. Don’t forget to bring sunglasses and bikini :-)
If you want to make nude photography, beware during the shooting of redskin imprints from your bra and your belt. Sometimes it takes more than 30 min. to vanish.
