Share on social media
I am looking for male models, beginners or experienced, for portrait or artistic nude sessions in collaboration. By casting, around a project that we define together, in Paris and the surrounding area.
Two types of photo shoots
Free
Collaborative session
Described on this page. By casting. Approved images are published on my website and social media.
Paid
Private session
I adapt to your desires or your project. I do not share any of the photos.
The principle
The session is free and unpaid: this is what we call a collaboration, or TFP. Nobody pays anyone: you pose, I take pictures, and we share the result.
After the shoot, I will publish a selection of photos that you have approved on my website and on Instagram. This allows me to showcase my work. As for you, you walk away with your retouched images, which you can use freely by crediting me.
These sessions are held on casting, around a shared project. It is not a service that you order: it is a series that we build together, with an intention even before shooting.
My approach
The result must reflect your personality: I'm not looking to direct the session, but to create a moment of trust that will allow something true and intimately personal to be revealed. Learn more about my ethics
Portrait or nude: your choice
From clothed portraiture to artistic nude, including underwear, you set the limits, and we discuss it before the shoot. Nothing is forced.
Location
I work in and around Paris, and I occasionally travel to other regions. The session can take place at your place, at my place, or in a rented apartment or studio.
How a session works
Preparation
We define in advance the visual atmosphere we want to create, and the type of photos: clothed portrait, underwear or nude.
The session
It lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours. You’ll have the opportunity to do different poses, with multiple backgrounds and outfits. I’ll guide you so you feel comfortable and relaxed. The goal is for you to have a good time: it shows in the pictures.
Selection of visuals
I then propose a pre-selection: you choose the ones you feel comfortable with.
Retouching
I work on contrast and light, and I erase minor, temporary skin imperfections. That's all: no modified body, no slimmed-down silhouette, no skin smoothed away to nothing. What you see in the pictures is you. No image is generated or retouched by artificial intelligence.
The outfits and makeup
You choose and bring the outfits yourself. I don't provide any—and that's a good thing: your own clothes tell a story that nothing else can tell for you. Bring several, and we'll see on-site what works best.
Makeup is not at all essential. I don't work with a makeup artist, and most sessions go very well without one. If you prefer, you can come with makeup on, but it is not a prerequisite.
What is published and what is not
The photos you approved are shared on my website and social media. Some may also appear in my print publications: prints, magazine. Adart Book. No other images are broadcast.
You are signing a image release form which specifies the distribution medium, the objective, and the duration. Nothing is published beyond what you have agreed to.
If you'd rather nothing was published at all, the private session is what you need.
In their words
I really loved the session, it was very “feel good”: we talked, we laughed, there was a genuine kindness. I felt at ease with my body, respected, and I thank you for that. It was my very first shoot, and for now the only one.
Vincent
A true pleasure to pose in an intimate and trusting atmosphere established by ADART, punctuated by authentic exchanges that help capture varied emotions.
Guéno
Trusting one's body, daring to reveal oneself a little to look at oneself better afterwards! Thanks to ADART for building that confidence and for their great work.
Kevin Hung XL
I loved the session, he immediately made me feel very at ease and I let myself be guided. It was my first project of this style, but I loved the sensual vibe that comes through in the photos. He managed to capture the excitement of the moment. And besides, I thought I looked good, which is always nice!
T.
I liked our session for your kindness, you listen to our ideas. What I loved were your play of lights. With you, one feels an active listening to the models during and after the shoot.
Jonathan
I had never posed “in the dark,” this calm and intimate atmosphere allowed me to explore and reveal facets of myself that I didn't know; an intense moment yet full of gentleness.
Clément
I was a little stressed at first, because it was my very first shoot, but he made me feel very at ease. I think the photos are gorgeous, sensual, without ever crossing into vulgarity.
Lucas
ADART is a very attentive photographer with a certain modesty, which makes you feel immediately at ease to pose in an atmosphere of trust. His lighting sets the expected mood for the photos. It is a genuine moment of exchange and sharing.
Lionel
With ADART, we experimented with several mediums and lighting, repurposed everyday objects, and the creativity of the moment is reflected in this series.

FAQ
How to make an appointment?
You can contact me by message or in DM on my Instagram account. A selfie is fine — you don't need to have posed for a photographer before.
What principles govern a session with you?
Ongoing consent, no seduction dynamic, every image approved before publication. The full detail of my commitments.
What does a collaborative photoshoot involve?
This is a free session: the photographer does not charge for their work and the model is not paid. The model leaves with their photos, which can be used for their portfolio or social media with photo credit given to the photographer, and the photographer can publish the approved images to promote their work.
How are the models selected?
Collaborative sessions are done via casting. You send me a few photos, we discuss what we'd like to do together, and if the project appeals to both of us, we set a date.
I have no modeling experience—is that a problem?
No, no experience is necessary. I guide during the session and we decide together on the poses and moods. A first session should be a time when you feel comfortable.
I don't think I'm as good-looking as your models
Many of those I photograph said the exact same thing before their first session. What I am looking for is not a physique: it is a gaze, a posture, something authentic. And a photo shoot is often a great way to see oneself differently.
What if I change my mind during the photo shoot?
We either stop, adjust, or move on. Consent isn't just a box to check at the beginning—it's something that's constantly renegotiated.
Is it possible to pose without being naked?
Yes. Dressed portrait, underwear: just specify it beforehand.
I want to pose nude but remain anonymous
It's possible: face cropped out of the frame, or a mask worn during the session. Some models choose this option, especially when their professional life does not allow for public exposure.
Do I get to choose which photos are published?
Yes. You select the photos after the session, and no others are shared.
How can I make sure my rights are respected?
You are signing a image rights release which specifies the broadcasting medium, the objective, and the duration. Nothing is published beyond what you have agreed to, your anonymity is preserved if you wish, and you approve the images before any online posting. Your personal data is processed in compliance with the GDPR they are used solely for our exchange and are never disclosed to third parties.
How long does a session last?
Between 1h30 and 2h, including setup and discussion time.
Can I pose with someone else?
Yes, in addition to solo sessions. It is a different exercise: playing with complicity, glances, and the closeness between two people. We discuss it beforehand to define the staging and the level of proximity that makes you comfortable.
