No, the Models do not need any experience as i will quide and pose you thruout the entire shoot and we have plenty of time to get it right. And we will get it right, don't worry - it will look better than any selfie you ever took. All applicants must sign a release form as the pictures taken shall be used - but are not limited to the portfolio, online and/or print media or any other form on my end without financial compensation. ​

It's international standard. While I do love Austria and speak fluent German, I am certain I will be working more abroad than domestic and I would like to launch this website accordingly, prepared for international users. With that said, it also opens the possibility for anyone who is not fluent in German but resides in neighbouring countries like Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, etc. With the current world events, I am sure we have a lot of Ukrainian people too, who can potentially better understand English.

Unlike runway models - editorials do not usually require to meet a minimum height as it is up to the photographer, the angles and lens choice - how tall or short the final image looks, many of which are partial body or headshots anyway. It is more important to have capturing eyes, interesting facial features and your ability of expresssions, as well as overall a proportional body structure.

Yes, feel free to apply but note that about 90% of my shoots are with female models. Occasionally i may need male models to be in a supporting or even leading role. Couples are also welcome to apply as there are several concepts that are of provocative nature and a couple may well be - better off to fit that concept, rather than two strangers struggling to find comfort taking the same shot.

It's about 50/50. It often depends on the time of the year / current weather conditions. In general i like to shoot outside but very often the concept requires the shoot to be inside the studio to control the light, fit a costume design or set pre-requisites. The concepts are very different from each other, some shoots are at night in public spaces, other may take place in pouring rain... ​

Personally, I do not care if you have a lot of experience in your field or not, what matters to me is what you can add to our projects For example you may have a lot of experience as a hairstylist but if your vision would be to shave a bold head on my beautiful model, then clearly your experience won't do me much good as I prefer to capture femininity as you may have noticed by now. I have a lot of use for MUAs, Stylists, and Designers, in fact, it's much harder for me to find artists than models, so by all means - please send in your work and I will be sure to reply, there is no other requirement. Designers or boutiques are always welcome to participate.

The more "staff" are needed for a shoot, the harder it gets to schedule it to everyone's timeframe. Make-up artists and Hair Stylists for example are nice to have and sometimes absolutely mandatory but for many of the concepts, it would suffice if the model can do her own hair and make-up which would save me from relying on two more people on shooting day and the rest can be retouched in post-production. Its qualities like these, that make a TFP shooting a preference to work with one model over another. It goes without saying that reliability, punctuality, flexibility on time, etc are always a must-have for everyone involved.

You will get all photos digitally from the entire photoshoot in jpeg format thru a secure server that you can view and download with a given password. Additionally only the selected hero shots which I deem to be good enough for my website, portfolio or any other scenario use - will be edited and retouched of which you will also get a copy. You will have the right to use these photos in your social media, personal or agency website as well as present and promote them in your portfolio with the right to optionaly print the photos if needed for Sed cards etc.. You are not allowed to resell the photos, distribute them to third parties or use them commercially on other platforms.

Yes, it's free of money but it does not mean that it's free of effort. You need to treat this like real work and take it seriously. Everyone involved has to contribute on their part and naturally we all rely on each other, we all have something to loose and a lot to gain. Use this opportunity and be a team player, together we can create and capture moments that will last forever.. As previously mentioned, the selected photos will be provided absolutely free of charge to all people involved in the corresponding project, however, the photos are handed over in digital form only. You are allowed to print the photos at your own cost but not redistribute or resell them.

Yes, it's called a TFP release form, you can download it here, make sure to read it as you will need to sign it before the shoot. This also applies to Designers, MuA's/Visa's, Assistants and Stylists and will ensure that you can legally use the final photos.
