Nude Art - it's also a business - part 3 of 1 2 3 4

When they show up for the session, most ladies are very nervous, but they are always made to relax by Jørgen Brandt. He never rushes into a photo-session with the lady, but uses plenty of time beforehand to chat and make the sitter feel comfortable. These conversations are mainly about images and the ladies' expectations: it is about the importance of respect - and the thrill of getting close to boundaries. Maybe move the border - but never jump on it! It will often also be about more mundane, daily things - chit chat if you like. It is about getting the right atmosphere and feeling of trust - feeling safe enough to dare opening and showing some of oneself. While Jørgen Brandt's work is very much his own style, an important part of it is letting the client's personality come through in the images. Trust is very important in leading the client through a session and crossing the boundary of being naked in front of a stranger.

Brandt's clientele comes from all levels of society - including public figures. They all, of course, get the same discretion - no images are ever used without written permission. Clients come from all over Denmark and also some from abroad (Spain, UK, USA, Germany, Sweden, Norway, etc).

After a session clients often relate that they are 'high' with what they just done, they are proud of themselves and the images they have just created. Viewing the images for the first time - when presented in an album or frame - is often an especially strong experience. 'I prefer handing over the images in person, directly to the client, and then see the reaction that is very often excitement and pride - it can be quite overwhelming for the client. Seeing this is very rewarding - an important part of my joy as a photographer,' says Jørgen.
