Today I do mostly nude females and portraits. I do a little landcape and animals.

I am purely an amateur. I work alone, sometimes with the help of a make-up artist. I have accepted a few paid commissions and hated it. I often shoot the same models, many girls I have shot more than 10 times (sessions vary from a half day to three day seminars in rented locations or 15 day "vacations" in a remote country/location). The record is with Stephie : 72 sessions over almost 4 years.

Then you must undertand that the photoshoot is only 50% of the work. The other 50% is the post-production stage where I use Photoshop heavily for relighting, re-coloring and some cosmetic work on my model's body. I am not into showing "reality", rather an "ambiguous truth".
