ABOUT ME :

I was born in Germany, my parents are French, and i believe i have a mix background, probably arabic and spanish, though it's some generations away.

I'm currently living in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I'm in Paris, France on a regular basis too.

I've always been interested in photography since i was 18 and i still remember my first kodak compact camera with a disk-like film, revolutionary at that time, and the polaroid of my parents, in the 80s. From that age, it has been an on-going experience and hobby, on and off from time to time.

I rediscovered the pleasure of images in my 30's and still trying to make my way in an hobby and art which has gotten more and more popular those last years, stimulating but also challenging.

My field of work is mainly around travel pictures, architecture, street photography and male portrait and nude.

Most of my final work is in B&W, essentially for the graphic effects it can produce, but not exclusively.

The web provides me an exchange place with a vast community of other lovers of the digital arts, to show what i can do, have feedback, see inspiring works of other artists, and find new models.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR :

Male models for portrait and nude artistic/erotic shots. I usually do both portrait and nude shots with my models, and rarely would agree for a clothed portrait shoot only, but who knows.

Therefore i'm looking for models confident and comfortable with their bodies to do so, and that this may be published.

I'm an equal oportunity photographer and all origins are welcomed. Same : Age is not an issue. But minimum body shape is. I like a large range of models physique, from slim/tone to athletic or muscled body.

Athletes and dancers tend to catch my attention : i've been lucky enough to work with some, noticed i enjoyed it, and look forward doing so in the future.

In the end its a very personal choice to work with a photographer or a model, and very subjective decision : i dont take it personally if i'm declined by a model, and please dont be offended if i decline you. I feel i have a responsibility in being honest about what i'm doing and i need to fell i will be able to produce a valuable work for both parties.

As i'm trying to be serious about photography, i appreciate models who are equally serious and reliable about their involvement.

I'm keeping things usually simple : for the moment, i like the idea of "the model, me and the camera" and will use natural or available light at the location.
