As a fashion and portrait photographer in Paris, I occasionally seek adult female models to take part in personal series exploring artistic nude photography.
These projects explore the body, movement, blur, shadow and light in natural settings or intimate interiors. They may lead to books, exhibitions and photographic prints.
If this artistic approach speaks to you, you can introduce yourself using the confidential form below.
Profiles sought
- Women aged 18 or over, of all backgrounds.
- New or experienced models.
- People interested in artistic nude photography and comfortable with the visual world presented.
- Available for sessions mainly held in Paris.
Selection is based on how each profile fits the visual world of the project. Agency representation or a professional portfolio is not required.
Professional and artistic framework
An initial conversation provides a clear introduction to the project, the intended level of nudity, the location, the team present and how the session will run. You are welcome to ask any questions before committing.
Participation, payment and image usage terms are communicated before each session and set out in a contract signed by both parties. No photograph is published or sold without prior contractual authorisation.
The application process
- Send an introduction and two recent photographs.
- I review your profile in relation to projects in preparation.
- If your profile is suitable, I contact you for an initial conversation.
- The project and its terms are explained before any session.
No nude or lingerie photographs are requested for an application. A clothed portrait and a clothed full-length photograph are sufficient.

The information and photographs provided are used only to review your application. They are neither published nor shared with third parties. Unsuccessful applications are deleted no later than twelve months after the last exchange, unless earlier deletion is requested.
