Hi I'm Franky, independent software developer with a huge passion for photography.

I do both outdoor shoots, anywhere in Belgium, as well as studio shoots in my home studio in the east of Brussels.

I'm active in 2 different fields of photography and am looking for models for both:

1. Stock photography

These are paid photoshoots, where the images will be used in advertising. These shoots are usually 2 to 4 hours, depending on how many scenarios we decide to do. The model is wearing casual day-to-day clothing with neutral make-up and portrays a certain scenario: "girl in city streets doing shopping", "woman at home using phone and computer", "friends hiking in nature", etc.

Posing is natural and almost non-existing. It's more like playing/imagining a character and doing some stuff, while being photographed. These are actually fun shoots to do ;)

As model, you have to realize that the images will/can be used in magazines, book covers, adverts, etc.
I used to use my own children as models in the past, and they're proud to appear on a few book covers and magazines ;)

Signing a Model release is required. It protects both you, the model, against certain usage of your images, and me, the photographer as well, where you allow me to use the images. I will gladly send a copy of the model release upon simple request. It's quite short, so I advise to read it.

My agent for stock photography is Getty Images / iStockphoto.

For these kinds of shoot I have a fixed payment per hour, plus pay for any expenses the model had to make (like transport)

2. Fine art photography

These are shoots for my own artistic development and growth. Most of the images in my portfolio here are in this category.
Currently I prefer to do mainly TFP collaborations, where I don't pay you as model, but we both benefit from the resulting images. This is great if you're a beginning model and want to build your portfolio.

My fine art photography ranges from dressed portraits, up to artistic nude or semi-nude. My passion lies in romantic, dreamy, painterly portraits, as well as humorous and surrealistic images. I also love doing darker more conceptual work.

To me, it's important to have the shoot respect the character and personality of the model. If you have an idea, wish or concept you'd like us to work on, by all means let me know ;)

If you are an experienced model, we can agree for you to be paid as model. This is something we need to discuss. In this category, I have worked with a number of international travel models with great results.
