FAQs
What kind of clients do you work with?
1
work primarily with musicians, bands, alternative fashion brands, creatives, and individuals looking for cinematic, atmospheric imagery. My work is particularly suited to gothic, darkwave, metal, industrial, alternative, and fantasy-inspired aesthetics.
Do I need to be an experienced model to book a shoot?
2
No. Most of my clients have little to no modeling experience. I will guide you through posing, expression, and movement throughout the shoot, so there's no need to worry about being "photogenic" or knowing what to do in front of the camera. The most important thing is simply being open to the creative process.
