Modelling
Become an EROTIC-PHOTOART model - if or when you are in Sydney.
I offer $250 for a two hour shoot; however, if you want a CD with the pictures to use on your website we will do a straight trade (TFCD) with no money exchanged (but remember, the copyrights remain with me).
In any case, you may use the shots as they appear on my website for your portfolio.
You must sign a model release form, but the release is for use of the shots on this website and any printed material in conjunction with EROTIC-PHOTOART only (a coffee-table book, magazine, calendar, exhibition prints etc) … it is not an unlimited release, i.e. your shots will not be sold-on freely (should third parties request to buy pictures, you will be consulted and an appropriate modelfee will be negotiated.)
My studio is in Cremorne Junction (between North Sydney & Mosman), go to my About page for info about myself.
Please note: You must be at least 21 to be an Erotic Photoart model.
Explicit or not Explicit
… that's the question: All shoots for EROTIC-PHOTOART involve full nudity and some shots will entail somewhat explicit nudity. Please check these samples to ensure you're comfortable with the degree of nudity.
Rules of Engagement
Be assured that you will not be asked to do anything you're not com- fortable with; by the time you come to the studio we will have agreed just how far 'explicit' you want to go in our shoot. So, before you decide to take part in an EROTIC-PHOTOART shoot, please first have a good look at the Galleries and especially the explicit or not explicit section (above) and let me know what sort of shots you would not want to do.
Young models may wish to bring a chaperone; in principle I don't object, however, I do not encourage the practice … I assure you, you are perfectly safe when you come to my studio. The minder will have to remain well away from the actual shooting area (an outdoor seat/indoor couch, book/newspaper will be provided); I don't function well with people 'looking over my shoulder' as we work. When we're shooting,
it's just you and me … model and photographer.
For your peace of mind, here's a reference from the devilishly devine (and articulate) Eve 'Puppycat' Isabella
"Carsten Burmeister is a talented Sydney photographer I've had the pleasure and privilege to work with on a number of occasions. His manner is friendly yet respectful and extremely professional, which is a perfect balance for someone you can feel instantly comfortable with as a model, and create some amazing images. A very indulgent collaborator and a lovely, genuine person to know, Carsten continually amazes me with his innovation, technical skill and his ability to bend the 'stock-standard' photographic rules and literally 'paint' his images with light to evoke movement, mood, emotion and a range of other subtleties that can only come with the skill and experience of a photographer of his caliber. His eye and particular aesthetic for the almost cerebral subtleties of eroticism in the image brings a whole new dimension to the already heavily competitive and at-times oversaturated niche of erotic photoart. Carsten is something special and one of those talents you don't just meet every day."
