Always looking for new talent

I am always looking for new talent for my stock shoots – even if you’ve never modeled before! I love working with “real life” models of all ages and ethnicities. So, if you are a good looking girl/woman or man you are very welcome to contact me. All expenses are paid for and you will get a nice set of high-resolution images, fully retouched !!

I also am interested in working with experienced freelance or (ex-)agency models. If you are a very good beauty or lifestyle model, you can contact me. Maybe I have a paid job for you . Or maybe you are interested in updating your book and we can work on a project together.

No stock agency will accept images for commercial licensing when a signed model release is not provided. Therefore I request that all models who work with me on stock projects are willing to sign a full Model Release. If you want to know more about working with me you can download

Ongoing Casting Call – beauty models

Good beauty models are always welcome !! A beauty model is a model with a natural beauty. For beauty shoots you should have great skin, teeth, hair and smiles. You should look healthy, full of energy and naturally good looking.

I am really looking for models of all ages. Of course young women, but also mid adult women and mature women. Especially beautiful women 40 plus years old are very welcome !! Most often these shoots are not about shooting fashionable makeup – makeup is only used to enhance your natural beauty – and I will shoot your natural beauty.

Body shots and shots of body parts – hands, feet – are also part of beauty stock photography. For photographing the female body in a fresh, natural and respectful way I am also looking for women of all ages. In many cases only the body – not the face – will be on the photo. These kind of images will be used most often for editorials or advertising on health and beauty.

Ongoing Casting Call – women lifestyle models

When looking at lifestyle photos we want to see real people !! A good lifestyle model is good looking but her most important quality is that she can act. A good lifestyle model has no problem with concepts like happiness, freedom, vitality. It is not necessary that you are a professional model. If you are good looking, have a natural smile and act natural when acting before the camera you should contact me !! For lifestyle I am not looking for young girls but for women in the age of 20 – 60 years old.

Ongoing Casting call – male models

I am planning quite some shoots with couples. For these lifestyle shoots I am looking for male models – typically in the age of 25-35 years. You don’t need to be a fashion model – in fact you don’t have to have model experience – I prefer “normal” looking men who do great on a photo. Most important is that you can make a lifestyle shot look real !! When having a walk with an attractive woman in a nice city the image should look real and full of positive energy. If you can do that then you are the kind of man I am looking for !!

Most guys don’t know that they can do that – so if you female models can spot these guys for me I am most thankful !! Maybe you boyfriend or partner is the man I am looking for – and when I could shoot you as a couple perhaps you end up in a nice aspirational hotel with your partner and come out with a great lifestyle reportage of the two of you !!
