Hi everyone! 

I am an experienced Danish amateur photographer working with different photographic themes, including some model photography. My favourite model photography genre is boudoir, but I also like to shoot lifestyle and nudes. 

I have been working with model photography since 1985, but I have only included images in my portfolio that represent my current image style. 

I always shoot on location, as I find this most interesting. I only use available light whenever possible, as I like the authentic atmosphere when not using hard flashlight. Because of this I GENERALLY DO NOT ARRANGE ANY SHOOTINGS IN THE WINTER HALF OF THE YEAR, when there is little light. 

I also time to time work with model video recording and editing. When I do not shoot models I like a lot to shoot birdlife. 

Wanna be my model?
I ONLY SHOOT WITH FEMALE MODELS, and I prefer to shoot with professional models. I am specifically interested in expanding my model network with new, younger models (20-24 years) for future collaboration.  

To be my model you must be slim (but not thin) with a natural look. Though nudes are included in my portfolio doing nude work is not at all a demand to be my model. However, I prefer models who feel comfortable wearing lingerie in front of my camera, as I really love the beauty of boudoir photography. I do not book Russian models due to the violent Russian aggression towards Ukraine. 

No tattoos!
Focus in all my work is a fascination of natural, feminine beauty. Because of this tattoos are completely banned in my images, and I DO NOT BOOK MODELS WITH TATTOOS. 

Salary
As I have no income from my photography I have a limited budget for travel costs, models and location hire. So if your salary demands are sky high I will most likely not book you for a shoot even if you look like a goddess.  

Editing
I do all editing myself, as the editing is today an important part of a photographers personal style. This means that I have NO INTEREST AT ALL IN ANY OFFERS FROM COMMERCIAL RETOUCHERS. I regard these words as a sufficient reply at any kind of commercial contacts and friend requests from retouchers. 

Though model photography is not reportage photography I never modify my model's physical proportions when I edit. I want to show my model's real, true beauty in my images. 

Additional information
I shoot for pleasure and it is my ambition that modelling for me should also be a pleasure.

Models who have had a shoot with me will receive a selection of edited images from the shoot. My limitsI never shoot images showing smoking or weapons, as I do not want to promote smoking or violence with my work.

I only shoot lingerie and nude images with models that are at least 18 years old.

I don't shoot "hand bra" images" as any other way to cover breasts will look less awkward.

Contact
I usually check mail every day, so using mail is recommended for a fast reply from me. During the summer half of the year I will reply any model contacting me. For lifestyle reasons I have decided not to have a mobile phone. So don't send me SMS - my traditional phone at home can't receive SMS. :)

Social medias
I don't have profiles at any other social medias than YouTube. So don't waste your time searching me at Facebook, Instagram etc. You can see more pictures and read more about my work at my personal model photography homepage www.valeurfoto.dk.

Thank you for your attention!
:) Jan Valeur
