FAQ
Frequently asked questions and answers about being a model
This page answers the most common questions from young women interested in working as models. If you still have questions after reading it, feel free to contact me with no obligation.
How to apply?
How can I apply to be a model?
To apply, simply send an email or use the contact form on the website. It is important to include:
- Your age
- Your city or area of residence
- 2–4 recent photos (can be taken with a cell phone)
They don't have to be professional photos. It's enough if your face and body are clearly visible.
What kind of photos should I send?
Simple photos, with natural light if possible. No makeup, special poses, or fancy clothes are necessary. Selfies or photos taken by someone else are fine.
Front-facing photo of your face, with your hair down. Full-body photo that clearly shows your figure (tight-fitting clothing, bikini, or similar).
If you wish to show special features or different expressions, you may send additional photos, up to a maximum of 10 in total.
Do not send photos that have been retouched, filtered, or are old.
Do I need previous modeling experience to participate?
No. Most of the models I work with have no previous experience. I will guide you throughout the session.
Why do you need to know where I live?
So I can find out if you live in Malaga or the surrounding area and invite you to a personal interview with no obligation, or if you live further away and we can do a virtual casting.
Requirements and profile
Are there any height, weight, or body type requirements?
I don't demand any specific body type or standards. I'm not looking for stereotypes. I value diversity and naturalness.
What is the minimum age?
Only persons over the age of 18 may participate in nude photography sessions. Valid identification must be presented prior to the session.
If you are not yet 18 but will be soon, you can still submit your application. We may be able to start with other photo shoots that do not involve nudity.
Do I have to live near Malaga?
I mainly work with models who live near Malaga and throughout Spain. If you live in another area, you can consult me about your specific case (if we agree on sessions, I will pay the travel expenses).
Payments and terms
Is it a paid job?
Yes. All sessions are paid.
The remuneration is €200 per photo shoot. Several sessions can be held per month.
New models can earn a total of €1,000 for the first three sessions. There are conditions that we will discuss together.
Payment is clear and always agreed upon before the session. It is made on the day of the session, and you decide whether you prefer cash or bank transfer/PayPal.
Do I have to pay anything?
No. I never ask models for money, and you will never have to pay to apply, attend castings, for sessions, or anything else. Paid work = you get paid for your time and collaboration.
What happens after applying?
- I will review your message and your photos.
- I will reply by email. I respond to all requests.
- If you fit the type of work I do and you are near Malaga, we can arrange an appointment for a personal interview at my studio, located in the center of Malaga (Plaza de la Constitución), and we can calmly discuss conditions, limits, and expectations.
- If you live far from Malaga, we will conduct a “virtual casting.”
- If both parties agree, a date is set for the first session.
There is no obligation on your part until you explicitly agree.
The photo session
How does a typical session work?
A session is conducted calmly, with everything explained before we begin. We start with a brief chat to confirm your limits and expectations, sign the consent form, and then take the photos, pausing whenever you need us to. You are in control at all times and there are no surprises.
How long does a session take?
Usually 2 to 3 hours, with breaks.
What kind of photos are taken?
Artistic nude photography, sensual and erotically expressive.
The style and level of sensuality are always agreed upon before the session.
Can I set limits or say no?
Of course. You can set any limits you want and change them at any time. Your comfort is my priority. If something doesn't feel right to you, we simply won't do it.
- We discuss the content in detail before each session and will only proceed if we both agree.
- If during the session you wish to modify the agreement, we will discuss whether to continue with different conditions or cancel the session.
- If we cancel a session, we will decide what to do with the photos already taken: if you wish, or if there are not enough photos that I can use, I will delete them and it will be as if the session never took place, with no contract or fees.
Who will be present during the session?
Just the photographer and the model. No third parties.
Legality, privacy, and security
Is this kind of photography legal?
Yes. Artistic nude photography is completely legal when all persons involved are of legal age and give their consent.
Is there a contract to sign?
Yes. After the session, a consent agreement (model release) is signed specifying the use of the images. You can read it at your own pace and ask questions before the session.
Where are the photos published?
I publish new photos exclusively in my “Patreon gallery,” which only paying members have access to.
The photos may later be published on websites, social media, or projects related to my work.
Can I use a pseudonym?
Yes. Unless you explicitly request it, your real name is never used publicly.
If you do not wish to show your face on social media, this can be discussed and agreed upon in advance.
Other questions
What if I change my mind?
No problem. You can withdraw from the process at any time before the session.
Why do you work with inexperienced models?
Because I am interested in authenticity and naturalness, not learned poses or agency stereotypes.
Can I bring someone I trust with me?
Yes. You can bring someone (a friend or family member) to the preliminary interview, and we will hold it in a public place (a café here in the Plaza de la Constitución) if that helps you feel more comfortable. During the sessions in the studio, I usually work alone with you to ensure concentration, respect, and fluidity.
What guarantee do I have that I will be treated respectfully and professionally?
Respect, trust, and safety are the foundation of all my work. Before any session, we will clearly discuss your limits and expectations, and we will only do what you have agreed to. If at any time you feel uncomfortable, you can stop the session and change your mind.
Will I receive my photos and can I use them myself?
Yes, you will receive a selection of photos for personal use and portfolio, unless we agree otherwise. If you want commercial use or special promotion, we will discuss it beforehand and include it in writing.
I have doubts, but I'm not sure.
That's completely normal. You can write just to ask, with no obligation whatsoever.
