Jan-Karel

Hi,

My name is Jan-Karel Kok, which would translate in English as John-Charles Cook. Just to be sure...

As early 1968 I was busy with taking pictures, developing, printing. Using the cellar as darkroom and studio. A sixteen year old boy finding refuge in his darkroom... By 1982 I even got my certificate as professional photographer but I stayed amateur.  From then to now is a long way with a 15 year pause in between. Somewhere about 2003 I took up digital photography, followed some courses and bought my first digital dslr. Concentrated on landscapes, flowers a began finding interest in fine art nude photography. Workshop by Patrick Kaas showed me further the way and offered an introduction to 'my' first model. at the time I had to work anonimously but since I enjoy my pension I can work openly on nude photography. Actually I always carry a camera: my phone which has great quality. Since a few years I grabbed my old film Mamiya again. Develop my own film and print in my darkroom. Even an old 4x5inch is in my homestudio. 

As a psychologist I hope to have taken the job in my studio as far as creating a fine atmosphere in concerned. Every now and then someone sees her self as she wants to be, making a dream feasible!

So now I am looking around for women who are OK with posing for my artistic nude work on a TFP basis. If you are interested, let me know!
