Nudes nominee

This series is part of a project I carried out in an old factory with different models during several months. It has been transformed into a huge studio with three levels. Part of the transformation included a wall with green plastic leaves that has become for me a unique location for creative nudes. During my project, I asked several models to take poses in front of it, using natural daylight. For this series, I knew I could rely on Dominika, a successful and talented model out of the Czech Republic. On the day of our photo shoot, I simply asked her to choose a prop and play a role in front of the green wall. During retouching, I used a filter to enhance the green jungle-like effect. I owe the creativity of the pictures to Dominika.

It all started when I moved to Germany in 1990 and started to work with amateur models. I learned nude photography with the professional photographer Arboulan in the late 90s. As of 2004, I further learned from the Hungarian artist Szeni Jung. I then decided to start my project Venusonearth, including my own website, being a member of photo communities, and participating in foto contests.
My first ambition was to get printed in the French magazine PHOTO. I succeeded in 2007 and got printed eight times since. I then focused on my main project (2012-2017) and built a portfolio of nudes and portraits with the amateur model Julia who became my first muse.
After more than 30 years, I am still a passionate amateur photographer. Through my work with more than 100 models, I've succeeded in organizing one exhibition in Miskolc, Hungary, and getting international recognition, including 5 gold medals, several honorable mentions, jury choices and many acceptances, Contest juries from Trierenberg in Austria, the German Open Circuit, Riedisheim in France, and the Dodho magazine have appreciated my work and motivated me to continue my creative work.
