Looking for male photo model in Paris: portrait and nude in collaboration

The principle: collaboration, not a service

Here, nobody pays anyone. You pose, I photograph, we share the result. You leave with a series of edited images that you can use freely (social media, model portfolio, personal projects), simply by crediting me.

This is a format often called TFP (Time for Print) in the photography world: everyone gets something out of it, with no financial transaction. You enrich your portfolio or live a new experience, I enrich mine and continue to develop my work.

These sessions are by casting, around a project that we define together. This is not a service you order: it is a series that we build together, with an intention and direction even before we start shooting.

Where to take pictures in Paris?

Paris is a fantastic playground for photography. Depending on the mood you want to create, there are several options.

At my place, indoors

Natural or artificial light, cozy atmosphere, ideal for intimate portraits or artistic nude series. It is the most private option, and often the most reassuring for a first session. And access is easy by public transport.

I am based in eastern Paris, fifteen minutes from Nation by RER. The immediate vicinity – Vincennes, Montreuil, Nogent-sur-Marne, Marne-la-Vallée – is reachable on foot or within a few stations. Models also come from western and northern Paris: the RER lines A and E cross the capital from side to side.

At your place, in your apartment in Paris or its suburbs

Many photo shoots benefit from being done in the model’s own environment. A bedroom, a bathroom, a couch by a window: these spaces reveal something about you that a neutral studio setting will never capture.

Outdoors, in or around Paris

The banks of the Seine in the early morning, the Buttes-Chaumont, the Bois de Vincennes or Fontainebleau, certain rooftops, certain forgotten passages...

Who I'm looking for

Men who are comfortable in their own skin—or curious about becoming more so. Athletic, slim, fit—it doesn’t matter: I’m looking for authenticity, not physical performance. A gaze that captures your attention, a posture that speaks volumes, a light that reveals.

You've never modeled? Even better. Some people discover the experience with me. We take our time, discuss the framework before the session, and nothing is forced.

Do you already model regularly? Even better: we can take the artistic direction a step further, create a conceptual series, and play with specific references.

Specifically, it starts with a message with a few photos of you — a selfie is enough. We chat, and if the project resonates with both of us, we lock in a date.

You choose what we publish

This is one thing I won’t compromise on. After the shoot, I’ll show you a shortlist. You choose which photos to keep, which ones to retouch, and which ones to publish. No image will be released without your explicit consent.

You also sign 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 want to pose nude but remain anonymous: face cropped out of the frame, blurred in post-production, or wearing a mask during the session. Some models choose this option, especially when their professional life does not align with public exposure. It is completely legitimate, and it doesn't take away anything from the power of the images.

And if you prefer that nothing be published at all, there is a private, paid formula, where all the images remain for you.

What's a session like in Paris?

First, we chat to get to know each other and see if the project appeals to both of us. Together, we define the type of session (clothed portrait, semi-nude, artistic full nude, etc.), the visual mood, the location, and the desired level of anonymity if necessary.

On D-Day, we'll meet at the location. A session generally lasts between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on the project. We take the time to settle in, chat, and find the right rhythm — there is no rush at all.

In the next few days, I'll send you the initial selection. You approve it. I'll make some adjustments. You'll receive the final set in high definition.
