There are a lot of girls. I receive a lot of WhatsApp messages from interested girls every day. The vast majority of girls are far from what I ask for, but they still contact me to try and see if they have "luck". I can't hire all of you, so if you don't have the minimum hand size I ask for, I'll probably reject you, since I'll only keep those girls who fit the hand profile I'm looking for. As I explained in another question, the minimum size of 21 cm serves as a filter for me to discard, since sometimes there are a lot of girls.

Although I am Galician, I started in photography when I was working in Gijón. In that city I managed to get my first models, and design a website dedicated to the theme of large female hands. For a few years now I have been living in my hometown, Vigo... where I have my daily job, and I dedicate myself to photography part-time, receiving orders from online stores that sell rings by catalog... hand creams... manicures... I also receive requests from individuals (people who like this theme), and now I also accept photographs of feet. I also photograph simply for leisure or hobby if I don't have assignments at a certain time, and I don't want to miss the opportunity to photograph hands that I like.

Although I live in Vigo, I usually place ads for Madrid and travel there for the sessions.

NO. I get asked this question every day, all the time...I look for exceptional hands...I don't photograph "average" hands.

My search has been going on for about 2 months and I advertise mostly on milanuncios, where I get an average of 15-28 girls responding daily. Now, imagine if only 3 girls responded to me daily (being on the low side and quite unrealistic)...multiply that by 60 days...that's 180 girls in 2 months AMONG 180 GIRLS...WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE YOUR HANDS IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE MINIMUM SIZE OR ARE NOT EXCEPTIONAL? 98% OF THE GIRLS WHO WRITE TO ME ASKING FOR INFORMATION ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE MINIMUM I ASK FOR. AGAIN, I BEG YOU THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MINIMUM SIZE OF 21 CM VERTICALLY, DO NOT WRITE TO ME. THEY ASK ME FOR LARGE AND EXCEPTIONAL GIRL'S HANDS. Companies or websites dedicated to selling rings, for example, that contact me do not care so much about the length of the hands, but I have clients, especially on Instagram, who ask me for exceptional hands, privately (custom photos).

If I gave you my card on the street, it is because I am sure that you meet the requirements I ask for and I would be interested in having a session with you. You should know the following:

I do my sessions at the "Dinamo coworking" photo studio in Vigo, located at R. do Ecuador, 14, bajo, 36203 Vigo, Pontevedra. I can also rent a private studio and equip it with everything I need to make it the way I want it. I always bring my backgrounds, lights, etc. with me.

I also do outdoor sessions. That is, open-air sessions. I have already done some sessions on the terrace of the Vialia, whose albums I have published (see albums of a girl called Jessica, and Rosa). I also want to do sessions on Samil beach, Castrelos, etc. You can suggest me to have your session in some striking outdoor area. You can talk to me about it.

IF I TRAVEL TO OTHER CITIES OUTSIDE VIGO:

As you can understand, I cannot have my own place in all the cities where I travel for the sessions. I have 3 options:

1- Rent a photo studio in the city where you are going, if the prices are reasonable.

2- Rent a space or a basement that I can transform into a photography studio to my liking. I always take with me everything I need. My lights, backgrounds, etc.

3- Outdoor sessions. I have already had some outdoor sessions, and in my opinion the results were quite good. Before going to the city I have chosen for my sessions, I will find out about the most emblematic places in that city, squares, parks, beaches, etc. in case we agree to do our session in a nice and striking outdoor location. You can ask me about it without any problem.

Around 3 and a half hours...maximum 4 hours, with appropriate breaks. Non-alcoholic drinks will be available.

Yes, you can come with someone, no problem, but I only allow one companion...

Normally, there is only one study session per girl, although we could repeat it, depending on the number of girls I find. If there are many of you, I see it difficult. I would also like to take this opportunity to ask you all to please not call me if you do not have the minimum size I ask for. I cannot take all of you. ONLY CALL IF YOU ARE SURE THAT YOU MEET WHAT I ASK FOR.

I want to be very clear about this. I WILL NEVER POST A PHOTO THAT YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH . After each session, I sit down with each girl, and we go through each photo, photo by photo. If there is a photo in which you think you are showing more than necessary, we delete it. If you see a photo in my albums in which a little bit of your face is visible, it is because the girl or girls in question have given me the go-ahead to publish it . Even so, they are not recognizable. I also want to clarify that in my videos and photos on my Instagram, the model tells me beforehand whether or not she wants her face to be seen. Rosa is a special case. She is the girl in the explanatory videos, and she does not mind showing her face, in fact I have known her for many years and she does it as a personal favor, to explain exactly what I am looking for.

First of all, my agenda is set by my clients, and depending on the client, these are the photos they usually ask me for:

hands with rings, hands with a specific manicure, hands measured with a ruler or tape, hand comparisons (large hands compared to smaller ones), dominant hands covering a face, holding another arm by a wrist... shaking hands (handshake) etc., also hands with objects: it can be with a can of coke... a flower (I have an album published where I have been asked for hands with a flower, and nails of the same colour as the flower... etc.

Here on my website and Instagram I will only post a sample of the photos we take. It makes sense, because if a client pays, they don't want their photos posted around for others to get for free.

I'll give you a copy of all the photos taken, with my watermark and my signature, but with the commitment that you won't be able to share them with anyone... after all, those photos aren't even for me... they belong to the client who pays me. You can share the sample photos (the ones you'll see posted here... also on my Instagram). The sample photos are there so that other girls can see the kind of photos I take when they see my ad, and also so that other potential clients can see those photos and be encouraged to place an order with me if they like this theme.

Before our session, I will inform you about the theme of the photos we will take, and the manicure I will need for said session, which I will pay for without any problem.

AS I ALREADY EXPLAINED TO YOU WELL IN PREVIOUS QUESTIONS, IF I DO NOT HAVE PENDING ORDERS BUT I DO NOT WANT TO MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR HANDS (IF THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL) THEN I WILL DO IT ON A PERSONAL BASIS AND I WILL PUBLISH YOUR PHOTOS HERE AND ON INSTAGRAM...YOU WILL HAVE A COPY OF MY PHOTOS, WITH MY WATERMARK AND SIGNATURE.

Well, no. It all depends on the type of hand you have. Some hands are better suited to long nails and others are not. I am increasingly in favour of not putting them on. I have some albums where the girl has not put them on, and the photos in my opinion have turned out great.

By the way, there are more and more girls who do their manicure wrong, or not perfectly. Sometimes they come to their session with poorly painted nails, or with a nail polish colour that has nothing to do with the type of session we have agreed on. For this reason, before your session we agree on the type of manicure that best suits your hands, i.e. the colour of the nail polish, etc. I PREFER THAT A PROFESSIONAL DOES YOUR MANICURE AND I WILL PAY FOR IT, THERE IS NO PROBLEM ON MY PART.

I photograph large hands because I find that it is the most popular subject (at least in my case) when I receive orders from individuals and some agencies. Feet are also very popular... but they ask me more for large hands... By the way, I have also published an album dedicated to female feet.

It's true. There's an explanation: a few years ago, the minimum size was set at 19 cm, not 21 cm. I accepted smaller hands. Now I almost never do it, because if I set the minimum size at 19 cm, half of Spain calls me, and there are too many girls interested. Somehow I have to avoid girls who don't fit the hand profile I'm looking for calling me.

Because it helps me to rule out all those girls who just call to see if they get lucky. If in an ad I only say "I'm looking for long or large hands for a girl" half the city would call me, not only from here but also from outside, and so by raising the bar and asking for an almost exceptional size for a girl, I make sure that only those girls who meet the profile of the hands I'm looking for call me. Even then, I still get calls from girls who don't even come close to having the minimum hand size I ask for.

Until recently, no. I had never tried to photograph the hands of a black girl... until Barbara (a black model) contacted me, with incredible hands. I have her photos published and I think I have a photo of her hand size in one of her albums: 21 cm!!!!!

If you are a black girl and you have those kinds of hands, I don't know what you're waiting for to call me!

I don't like tattoos... if you only have tattoos on your arms, I can see it, since they can be covered up if you wear a long-sleeved shirt. If the tattoos are on the hands themselves, then I'm almost certainly not going to count on you. I only have one girl here with a tattoo (she has a heart tattooed on her finger), but it's barely noticeable. It's the only exception I've made in all this time.

Yes, but only if I am asked privately, or by advertising agencies, even other girls or professional models for their books or because they want to sell their photos online, etc. If you contact me about feet, you can ask me.
