Expressions.art is currently looking for collaborators for a series of artistic nude and erotic-art projects.
These are personal, creative shoots with a strong focus on emotion, atmosphere, and a safe, respectful working environment.
If you feel drawn to the ideas below or have a concept of your own, I’d love to hear from you.

Artistic Nude & Erotic Art Collaborations

  • Description: Ongoing personal projects exploring intimacy, erotic energy, vulnerability, and existential themes through artistic nude photography.
  • Offer: High-quality digital pictures for your own use. If we create an image strong enough to print and I make a fine-art print for myself, I will also make a matching print for you.
  • Requirements: Open to anyone (any gender, age, and body type), as long as you are comfortable with the level of nudity required for the chosen project and interested in expressive, artistic work.
  • Pay: Collaboration (TFP – time for photos).
  • Location: Mostly my home-studio in IJmuiden, with occasional on-location sessions depending on the project.
  • Session Length: Typically 2–4 hours, including setup, breaks, and adjustments to lighting and sets.
  • Pre-Session Tea: Mandatory. Every shoot starts with tea and a conversation so we can get to know each other, discuss the idea, your comfort levels, and any questions you might have before we begin.
  • Chaperon: You are welcome (and encouraged) to bring a trusted friend or partner as a chaperon, as long as their presence supports the mood of the shoot.
  • Lighting & Sets: All sessions are built around controlled flash lighting and planned setups, even when the final image looks like natural sunlight or a simple scene.
  • Release Form: Required. Usage rights, privacy options, and any planned prints will be clearly stated and agreed upon before the shoot.
  • Standard Shooting Practices Apply (see below).

Current Shooting Ideas

Project 1 - Sunlit Daydreams

A soft, intimate series exploring how eroticism appears when nobody is watching — when it’s just you, your thoughts, and the afternoon sun. The setup is a bed with a cast shadow of a window across the body, with the light doing most of the storytelling. Colors stay warm and slightly overblown, inspired by old Polaroid tones.
Visual Direction:
  • Warm, blown-out sunlight + deep shadow
  • Close-up “retro” shots with imperfect, nostalgic texture
  • Wide shots with a sense of emptiness, stillness, and emotional space
  • Eroticism as a side effect rather than the point
  • A subtle undercurrent of vulnerability and passive sensuality
Vibe: Quietly erotic, fragile, dreamy, introspective.
Think: a moment of intimacy that isn’t meant for an audience, only accidentally revealed.
Looking for: Any gender / Any body type / any age, Someone who can express fragility, stillness, and a soft emotional openness, while being comfortable with nudity and négligé


Project 2 - The Line of You

A minimalistic, bold nude portrait in a very wide aspect ratio. The body is seen from the side, partially silhouetted, with the surrounding space left empty. The focus is on form, curve, posture, and presence — not storytelling, not props.

This one is about the body as a source of outward energy rather than inward introspection.
Visual Direction:
  • Warm, minimal color palette
  • Strong side lighting to shape the silhouette
  • Extremely wide frame (cinematic / panorama feel)
  • Clean, empty background
  • Emphasis on confidence, curve, and poise
Vibe: Erotic, unapologetic, imposing, projecting energy outward — like the body is creating its own atmosphere.
Looking for: Feminine body, any age. Ability to project confidence, erotic charge, and physical presence.


Project 3 - The Absurd Flesh

This is a more open exploration inspired by the absurd as described in Camus—where the human body is confronted with meaninglessness, tension, or emotional dissonance. This project does not have a fixed setup yet. The idea is to build a concept with the model based on what resonates with them.

It will likely take place outdoors or in an environment that visually contrasts the human presence with an indifferent world.
Visual Direction:
  • Physical expression of existential angst, absurdity, or quiet rebellion
  • Posture and movement that reflect emotional fatigue or inner conflict
  • Environments that reinforce the feeling of being out of place
  • Nude or partially nude depending on the idea
Vibe: Raw, emotional, reflective, unsettling. Like screaming to the void and embracing the absurdity of existence. Think: A silent body showing the loud sound of inner turmoil screaming at a universe that isn't an entity that can hear it.
Looking for: Any gender, any body type, any age. Preferably someone who has experienced mental-health challenges and can channel that experience into physical expression.

If You Have Your Own Concept

  • Model-Led Ideas: If you have a concept you’d like to explore—erotic, emotional, or purely artistic—I’m happy to discuss it and build a session around your idea.
  • Co-Creation: We can develop mood, styling, and atmosphere together so that the final images feel genuine to you.

What You Receive

  • Digital Images: You will receive high-resolution digital versions of the final selected images from the shoot.
  • Portfolio Edits: We can agree on specific images to edit in a way that works well for your portfolio, social media, or personal use.
  • Prints: When a shot is strong enough to be printed and I decide to print it for myself, I will create a print for you as well.

Safety, Consent & Boundaries

  • No Touching: I never touch models. All direction is verbal or visual; there is no physical contact at any point before, during or after the shoot.
  • You Can Stop at Any Time: You can pause, take a break, or stop the shoot entirely at any moment and for any reason. Your comfort always comes first.
  • Boundaries Are Not Negotiable: We will discuss your boundaries in advance and respect them fully. I like to shoot with models repeatedly over time, so building trust is essential.
  • Use of Images: How images may or may not be used (online, print, portfolio, private only, etc.) is agreed upon before the shoot. Nothing will be shared or printed beyond what we both approve.
  • Chaperon Policy: You can and are strongly encouraged to bring a trusted friend or partner as a chaperon.

Standard Shooting Practices

  • Please be on time. Most of the shoots take a long time and being punctual guarantees we don’t have to rush or skip some aspects.
  • Alcohol and drugs are not allowed prior nor during the shoot. This is to guarantee sobriety in decisions and also better skin and eye colors in pictures.
  • The model is allowed (and encouraged) to bring a chaperon along with her/him provided that they are comfortable doing the shoot with that person present and that the invitee is not a distraction from the mood of the shoot; this rule is especially valid for nude and intimate sessions where the model might feel safer having someone they trust come along.
  • Try and get a good night’s sleep at least the night before the shoot, ideally for several nights before the shoot.
  • The choice of clothes or accessories (if any) to bring to a shoot should be discussed prior to the shoot, but there’s no such thing as too much; unless the shoot requires a very specific mood, feel free to bring things that feel like you.
  • Avoid using very reflective makeup. Anything with an SPF rating is a hard no as it does not mix well with flash lighting.
  • The choice of how many people are to be on set is going to be asked in advance and both the model and the photographer have to agree on the final list. In most cases, we will aim to keep the team minimal (usually just the photographer and the model, plus any chaperon the model wishes to bring), unless otherwise agreed beforehand.
  • Physical contact rules are strict: the photographer does not touch the model. All posing is directed verbally or demonstrated without contact.
  • Please provide us with an emergency-contact number in case of unforeseen circumstances.
  • We provide shower and changing facilities with towels and necessities.
