PROFILE INFO:
I'm a full time photographer.
My main activity is the stock photography (models, lifestyle, travels, concepts, architecture, ...), for the editorial industry worldwide.

Recent Published Work:
If you like see the most recent book covers published with my pictures, visit this page on my website:
http://www.photomamp.com/pages/index0.html
Take this only as an example of my printed work. About pictures published inside books, magazines, advertising, etc... not enough time to scan and upload the website. I'm sorry

What I'm looking for?

- I'm looking for new international clients (mainly). I like to accept some challenges...
- I'm looking for models to keep on my stock photography productions and personal-editorial projects (as my books Bodies or Bubble Gum Girl).
- I'm aiming to start working in several european cities; so...
- I'm also looking for other professionals to collaborate with (studios, MUA's, stylists, etc), in this potential cases.

You can read below to know a little bit more...

Working with clients:
I'm really interested in photographic assignments but very selective with them.
I see the assignments as an stimulating complement for my daily job (stock): a good way to plan photographic works under new points of view, and then, refreshen and positive to my photographic improvement as well as to accomplish the client's requirements (the essential).
In any case, it's always better and easier to know as much as possible before. So, the easiest way is to contact directly by e-mail or personal message here. You can contact me in english, french or spanish.
If you have anything in mind, please, don't doubt. Contact me even if you have only a project or idea, still not sure to develope.
I assume that the potential assignments may be developed by a good and trustful feedback and don't haven any compromises or obligations in its first steps (so, we can talk about any plan). In addition I'm easy to contact, fast to answer (if I'm not abroad), and totally serious with my job.

Working with models:
I'm always open to consider collaborations and work on projects with models interested in editorial industry and/or enhance their books.
I reduced drastically the TFP/TFCD some time ago. So, all the paid assignments will have preference.
Even when the case of TFP/TFCD may be considered, some essential infos about this concrete case:
1- I don't do TFP/TFCD if I can't publish the pictures. But, we can split our photoshooting time: half time for your portfolio (pictures for your projects, not to be published), half time for my stock photography.
2- TFP alternative only will be studied in the cases that may enhance my portfolio and yours.
3- I never give all the images from a session, or RAW files. I will only give a selection of the images (more or less 4 images per session), once approved my edition and postproduction processes. If we have splitted our time, your pictures will be High-Res (maybe more of 4, depending on how long was the session). If not, I'll only give you screen-size images (for your e-portfolio), from my stock production.
4- I will send the images electronically or uploaded to my site for a short period of time (24 hours) so, you can download them. I see this way more ecological and faster than burned CD/DVD.

***But remember: I'll never give RAW files.

The photoshootings made under different rules can be accepted, not as personal projects (or stock photography), but as an assignment. In this case, don't hesitate to contact with me also. I can offer you an affordable price adapted to the requirements of the session.

So, once that said, it is clear: I prefer paying to the models I'll work with (as well as MUA, stylists, etc.). It's good to work on TF$ basis too!
(of course, I'll be more than happy receiving affordable prices, as I do... who won't?).

I always work with assistant (my wife most of times), and I prefer models to come accompanied. So all escorts, friends, etc. are welcome, as long as they don't interfere negatively in the photoshooting; I mean: when I'm working, I'm working... I'd love to talk about the photoshooting we are doing, but I can't spend too much time talking about lots of interesting things not related with the present shooting... obviously...

Please, take a look to my site before contact. If my work is interesting for you, then don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
