Question 1

Why do you use models?

Accepted Answer

Mostly I use models to assist me in trying out new concept ideas in the studio or at a location - I only use images in my digital portfolio if I am given permission to do so, and then the model has a say of which ones I can use.

Question 2

How old do I have to be to model for you?

Accepted Answer

For full nude modelling you must be 18 years old, other than that there is no limit on age for modelling for me*.

*Other styles of photography may be restricted/limited due to age (please ask).

Please note: Proof of age may be requested.

Question 3

What kind of photos are taken?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the type of project I am working on.

The photos could be from sensual and artistic covered/implied nudes (underwear), to full nude - Erotic sexual nudes would include erections, staged sexual intimacy (couples), simulated sexual play (masturbation/toys).

As the model, you have a choice of the style you would like to pose for, though the criteria may be determined by the portfolio I am working on at the time.

You can model on your own as a single person, or you can be photographed with your partner or a close friend.

Question 4

Do I have to pose nude?

Accepted Answer

No, not at all, you have the full flexibility and choice of the kind of photos you pose for. 
 
You can choose to pose semi-nude (underwear/topless) or fully nude.
 
Nude images can also include covered/implied nude shots, where you are naked but you use your hand, a pillow or another prop, to cover yourself in a suggestive manner.

Question 5

Do you use the photos?

Accepted Answer

If the model grants me their permission, then a selection of photos may be used on my official website, or on my 'X' (formally twitter) page , to showcase my work to prospective clients, or followers of my work. 
 
The photos are not used for anything that you do not give permission for, they are also not shared with any other agency or open viewer gallery.

Question 6

Do I have to have my face shown?

Accepted Answer

No, not at all, if you wish not to have your face in the photos, that is ok, I can concentrate on the body below the neck, I can also pixelate your face in editing, or we can introduce a mask of some sort. 
 
Body focus images is ideal if you want to model without having your face in the shot - these photos concentrate only on the upper and lower torso. 
 
Please make sure you specify that you do not want your face to be shown in the photos when applying to model for me.

Question 7

Do I need to pay and do I get a set of the images?

Accepted Answer

The session fee heavily discounted from the normal prices to just £110.00 - this covers my time, as well as the studio hire time and travel expenses  - there is no hidden extras.

You will receive a full set of all the edited images to download from your private gallery and use as you like.

If you are a student, please enquire about our student discount.

Question 8

How long will the session last?

Accepted Answer

It all depends on the kind of photos that are being taken and where they are taken.

On average a solo session with one person is about 1.5 - 2 hours in duration, where if the photoshoot is of a couple the photoshoot is about 2 - 2.5 hours in duration.

It all depends on variety of poses and potential outfit changes (underwear, lingerie and fetish clothing)

Question 9

Where are the photos taken?

Accepted Answer

Most of the sessions are held at one of the fully equipped studios in Edinburgh, or Glasgow.
 
Some sessions may be held at chosen locations, in the past I have used hotel rooms, outdoors and the models own home, as well as my own home.

I am always looking for new exciting locations, if you know of anywhere then please suggest it, I can the think of it's suitability.

Question 10

What do I need to do if I'm interested?

Accepted Answer

If you are interested, please complete the model application form, including images of yourself as requested. 
 
Should you have any questions before applying, please do so using the contact page, indicating that you are interested in modelling for me, along with your question(s).

Question 11

Can I bring someone with me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can bring a friend or partner for company and moral support, or if you both want to pose together.

Due to space, I would normally ask that you only bring one or two people.

Question 12

What kind of person are you looking for?

Accepted Answer

I am looking for the everyday people, you do not need to be a super model, or to have had any previous modelling experience. 
 
All that is required is that you are reliable, friendly and comfortable in front of the camera, though I also welcome those who are looking to try something different and out of the ordinary.

I am friendly and easy going, I aim to put you at ease throughout the session with light conversation, while guiding you through the photoshoot.

Question 13

Are you only looking for men?

Accepted Answer

No, I am also looking for men, woman, trans and non-binary people to model for me.

Single people as well as couples, all are welcome to apply - Do not be shy 😊
