The search for new models is an extremely difficult task.

Among many other things, the photos I receive with applications, for example, very rarely resemble the woman they claim to show. No joke: there have been "models" who sent me photos from their youth but were already over 50 and not attractive at all. With the somewhat newer filters, very overweight people become slim, extremely underweight people suddenly have pretty curves and meat on their bones, thin hair becomes long, wild manes, boring, grumpy expressions become friendly, sexy faces with freckles that don't really exist (they're fashionable at the moment).

Well, that's part of my job. Not everything is a happy look at beautiful young girls who only want one thing: to show me their most seductive sides... :-)

Sometimes, even during a personal interview, I can't definitively judge whether an applicant is suitable for my photography or not. To put it this way, I am relatively easy to seduce and if an applicant is very friendly, praises my work (yes, my vanity is susceptible to flattery, I have to admit it) and shows a strong interest in modeling for me, then I give it a try, even if I'm not really convinced.

Sometimes I experience breathtaking surprises, such as with Anya, who appeared in completely shapeless, baggy clothes and a hood over her then still wonderfully long hair, which didn't allow any conclusions to be drawn about the gorgeous teeny figure underneath. Her appearance was more boyish than girlish. Her perfect body and the extremely sensual way she showed herself to me after being naked were an exciting surprise in the truest sense of the word!

But sometimes it's different. Well-cut dresses show a figure that no longer exists when naked, and I don't just mean full bras... A likeable, cheerful face becomes serious (or sometimes arrogant) when the body is no longer clothed. And sometimes everything is actually fine, but I can't manage to create the spark that steals the model's natural restraint and caution...

Well, if I'm not really convinced but try it out anyway, I don't make a big fuss with flashes and so on. In the case of the photos you can see today, I didn't even take my professional camera, but just a small Panasonic DMC-LC70 (I didn't even remember that I used to have such a camera, but the metadata of the photos say so...).

This camera only produces JPG's, as far as I remember. In any case, I only have relatively small JPG's (the series in the gallery are in full original size), which do not allow me to make color corrections or other major changes, as I have already explained in more detail elsewhere.

After my recently published series "a complete, unedited session" met with great interest, I'm posting a completely unedited series of 70 photos for the patrons today, exactly as the "Klick-o-mat" shot them.

I tried a few things with the young woman, and there are also a few photos that are quite good, but I didn't really warm to her and so it stayed with this single test session.

I hope you enjoy this series. Here is a preview.
