I'm just a regular guy who's in love with photography and who promised himself to explore the limits of his creativity. As such, when I'm shooting, my goals are straightforward: I strive to "wow" everybody involved in the shoot, but first and foremost - myself. For that reason, I view every shoot as a unique opportunity to create something amazing and awe inspiring.
My concepts come from my cultural background, from past works of the great photographers I try to understand and mimic, as well as from my models who shape the ideas into reality long before I release the shutter for the first frame.
Want to shoot?
My current interests include anything that distinguish itself from the mass, almost experimental. I mostly subdivide my shots into (anti)glamor and implied eroticism. I look for subjects with interesting features and good ability to paint emotions, although I firmly believe that in skilled photographer's hand, any subject can be rendered gorgeous and interesting. I love contrasts, whether in the shot's settings or in the output.
I'm a professional, and highly value my time and that of others. As such, I accept only serious clients or collaborations, and always start off with a face-to-face interview (with very few exceptions: sometimes I accept a phone interview). Modalities and ideas are discussed then.
Important!
I will work for TF* only with select people who want to participate in my concepts, or who suggest interesting concepts.
What now?
Feel free to contact me via MM or at constantin@constantin.nu ...
I'm fluent in French, English, Russian, and pretend to know Latin
Peace,
Constantin

No problem. Your port tells me you don't need many suggestions though, esp from me.
I know how annoying it is to have a great concept that takes many tries to get right. If you're as stubborn and self-critical as I am, you'll probably keep going until you get it 'bang on'.
Good Luck

Thanks for the comment your are correct the gamma is way off. I did this for a reason , sometimes you have to bend the laws color to tell your story in a whole picture.

You have that unique style I'm currently looking for... I simply LOVE all of your pictures. If you need one passionate model to collaborate with on any concept of yours, give me a sign.
