No. Most sessions start with clothing or partial references. How far it goes is up to you. Some projects need classical nude studies, but you decide if and when. Many women find that once they see how the work transforms into finished art, the nerves fade.

Not at all. Most of the women I shoot aren’t models. Presence matters more than experience. If you can show up and follow direction, I’ll handle the rest.

We’ll talk through concepts first. You’ll change into wardrobe (or not), and I’ll direct posing and expression. Sessions run 60–90 minutes. Only a small fraction of frames become finished art — the rest stay private.

Yes, if we agree up front. I can hold or restrict images if needed for school, work, or family reasons. This isn’t a content churn; it’s selective work.

Most are reference. The strongest get developed into finished digital oils. A few may be shown or sold. Nothing goes public without your knowledge.

For this series, it’s trade. You receive finished images for personal use; I retain art rights. If a piece sells, you share in the proceeds. No upfront cash, no gimmicks.

Yes, but not as a surprise on set. If you want a friend present, they need to come with you to the initial vibe check interview before the shoot. That way everyone knows what to expect. Sometimes those guests end up modeling too.

I’ve been a working photographer for over 20 years, with gallery exhibitions and collaborations. I now blend photography, 3D, and digital painting to produce work that feels timeless.

Everything is in a written agreement. Stage names are fine. No surprises, no images published without your knowledge.

Yes, though this project isn’t tied to any agencies.

I’ll review your application and reach out by phone. If you don’t hear back within a week, follow up — silence usually means I’ve already filled the slots.

That’s normal. Most women are. The nerves pass once you see yourself rendered as more than another feed post.
