Nicci, @nic.ric.pic, messages at IG with Just Nicci, however she isnt just a model at all. Next to her beauty, she is lovely, a real pro, reliable model. A wonderful personality. Years ago, we had a quick shoot at an event. After this I wanted to work with her, but never got the opportunity. Now I could shoot her just before leaving the Netherlands. Just 2 hrs in the daylight studio (LDS creative) so many great results in this short time.

Next to the events Sienna organises she finds time for 1 to 1 (remote) shoots. Sienna (@siennahayes) rented a nice cottage in Andalusia, not that far from Grenada. She invited me for a remote shoot in this beautiful place with beautiful dark golden and red coloured rooms and a lovely garden. The sun helped as with splashes of light. We made a lot of beautiful, sensual photo's in this lovely setting. 

A more glamourous shoot with Ashley in a light, modern apartment in Antwerp. AShley is known for here more glamour and a bit more explicit modeling. Next to her beauty she is very experienced, beautiful, friendly and wonderful to work with. A very pleasant shoot. 

Anastasiia (@mdl) and I met  last year at an event. Now i was happy to meet again at a 1:1 studio shoot at LDS creative in Amsterdam. We made several sets; it shows Anastasia's beauty. She can be lovely and also strong/powerful. Have a look.

Sofia ( Madame Soph) and I worked a few times together before. A couple of weeks ago she was again in the Netherlands for a tour. so time to meet again. This time in a studio in the centre of Amsterdam. LDS creative is quite simple, basic , but great daylight. next to the studio you have a great hallway. so a good opportunity for a shoot.

we discussed the shoot on forehand and exchanged ideas, a moodboard. Sophia, as an experienced model gave  some extra suggestions, to make it a great shoot. We went from portrait , to fashion style and art nude. 

Minh Ly and I met for a shoot at an outdoor location close to the sea. This art park is called: Zee van staal (Sea of Steel) Huge steel art constructions, in the dunes, close to a steel plant and the sea.

Next to a wonderful model, Minh Ly is a fashion designer. So we used her skills to make a colourful series and always BnW at this monumental art objects.

Next to this a series of portraits, washed away by the salt.

Zoi and I know eachother for several years. In these years we made many shoots together at different locations in different countries. For this shoot we planned a themed shoot. First with the paintings of Alma Tadema as inspiration. It took a while before we could make an appointment. the ideas evolved in more shooting ideas. The surrounding of Museum Voorlinden gave as many opportunities. So Zoi (and I) didnt only meet Alma Tadema but also Piet Oudolf, famous Dutch garden designer and the work of Anselm Kieffer.  see the results below.

Aurora and Olga rented a beautiful villa. They organised shoots as a duo and single. I took the opportunity to have a short shoot with them together. They matched perfectly in colourtones and character. See the results below: a series with a diversity of shapes and styles.

Olivia was already a while on my wishlist. I think her look changes easily from innocent to sensual. When she was in Amsterdam a few weeks ago, we planned our shoot in the little, colourful studio I was a few times before. I am happy with the results of this productive shoot. Olivia is easy going, she chnages in different styles very quick. It was fun to work together. Sometimes it was hard to decide colour or black and white. I played a bit with the grain etc. Take a look and decide yourself

Last week Anne (@anneduffymodel) visited us at Chateau Courriere in the south of Belgium. In this beautiful mansion we used the numerous options the location offers. Several large , classical rooms, the huge  park, around the chateau and the pond. Ofcourse we also shot in de old greenhouse, my favourite location. Anne used all her experience in a variety of poses and styles. 

VEF = Valerie, Elegant and Flexible. we liked to work together for a long time, but didnt have an opportunity. Now we could have a remote shoot in thh PGD studio. We had a great pre-shoot communication, I made a moodboard.

Valerie is known for her elegant, flexible poses. I did select an hour in a white studio and an hour in the black studio. This gives a difference in style. With the light-help from our ' assistant' Garry we made a series of photo's you see below. Most images are in colour and BnW, as usual.

Several times Aurora and I tried to make an appointment. finally we succeeded a couple of weeks ago. Aurora stayed some days with us, so we had time to talk, gossip and more. I planned a shoot in a frame (work)shop not far from us. It is a small, vintage place with unusual shooting possibilities. The low daylight didnt make it always easy, but playing around with this wonderful model gave the results below. the first part are made in our garden and house.

This time I planned a shoot with Layana in the house of friends in the centre of Amsterdam. I organised shoots before in this beautiful house , filled with art.  Layana and I worked before and I was impressed about her modeling skills, her personality and the fun to create art together. There is not much to say about the shoot, but enjoy Layana's beauty and poses.

During our travel in Iceland I was so lucky to have a shooting day with Svala. (@Icelandicselkie) next to a model she is also a wonderful guide and historian. We met at Stykkisholmur at the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. We traveled the peninsula with our camper, Svala had chosen a number of extra ordinary locations. Sometimes just at the roadside (road nr 1), but most times a few kilometers away. A full day of amazing landscapes, shooting possibilities.

You see the results below, we made a lot of amazing images (in my opinion). Svala was fitting in the wonderful un-earthy surroundings, with wonderful poses, full of elegance. She dived in ice cold water, standing in sea waves and on rocks.

Wish you a good time, watching more than 100 images in colour and BnW. It was often too hard to chose and make a selection.
