FAQ

- 01Until a few months ago, I was unfamiliar with this sport. I first saw it a few months ago in a YouTube video. I was fascinated. I want to express my admiration for this sport by first creating a carefully crafted and cinematic photography portfolio dedicated to BJJ, Jiu-Jitsu, and even some MMA, where similar movements are used. Once the portfolio is complete, I will have photo sessions with female BJJ practitioners to capture movements, takedowns, and submissions, both male and female.I'll make my photos different from anything I've seen out there... I won't take "run-of-the-mill" photos... they'll be cinematic, worthy of the best scenes in current action movies... I can also make a video of a specific movement leading to a finish and try to create a cinematic sequence as well.How will the sessions be organized and what will the remuneration be?For the sessions, a second person with grappling experience will be required. The participant may suggest someone they trust, male or female, provided they have the necessary experience. Their participation will also be compensated.I want to offer attractive remuneration to both the girl who participates in the project and the second person who collaborates in the sessions .Payment will be made at the end of each workday. If an advance payment or deposit is required to organize the sessions, I am happy to make it.My intention is to work with people committed to their discipline and build a serious, comfortable, and mutually beneficial collaboration.
- 02There are so many of you girls. I receive tons of WhatsApp messages every day from interested girls. The vast majority of you fall far short of my requirements, but you still contact me to try your luck. I can't take you all, so if you don't have the minimum hand size I require, I'll most likely reject you, as I'll only keep the girls who meet my hand size profile. As I explained in another question, the minimum size of 21 cm serves as a filter, since sometimes there are too many of you.
- 03Although I'm from Galicia, I started in photography while working in Gijón. In that city, I managed to find my first models and design a website dedicated to the theme of large female hands. For the past few years, I've lived in my hometown of Vigo, where I have my day job and dedicate myself to photography part-time. I receive commissions from online stores that sell rings by catalog, hand creams, and I also do photography work for nail salons (advertising). I even receive invitations from some salons to photograph unusual manicure styles, etc. I also receive requests from individuals (people who are interested in this subject), and now I also accept requests to photograph feet. I also photograph simply for leisure or as a hobby if I don't have any commissions at a particular time and 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.
- 04What role does artificial intelligence play in my projects?I use artificial intelligence as a creative tool to explore new visual possibilities and shape ideas that would be difficult or impossible to capture through conventional photography.My intention is to use it responsibly and transparently, as a means of artistic experimentation and visual expression. An example is the image of the hand and the dove : an imaginative scene that allows me to play with proportions, situations, and details to create a different and surprising image.Artificial intelligence is not an end in itself, but rather another tool for developing ideas, experimenting with imagery, and expanding the boundaries of creativity.
- 05IF I TRAVEL TO OTHER CITIES OUTSIDE OF VIGO:As you can understand, I can't have my own space in every city I travel to for sessions. I have three options:1- Rent a photo studio in the city you are going to, if the prices are reasonable.2- Renting a space, or a ground-floor unit, that I can transform into a photography studio to my liking. I always bring everything I need with me: my lights, backdrops, etc.3- Outdoor sessions. I've already done some outdoor sessions, and in my opinion, the results were quite good. Before going to the city I've chosen for my sessions, I'll find out about the most iconic places there—squares, parks, beaches, etc.—in case we agree to do our session in a beautiful and striking outdoor location. Feel free to ask me about it.
- 06A session lasts around 4 hours .If you're coming from outside Galicia, the session might last a little longer since I also need to cover travel and hotel expenses. Of course, we can work something out to pay you a bit more for coming to my city.
- 07Yes, you can come with someone, no problem, but I only allow one companion...
- 08Normally, there's only one studio session per girl, although we could repeat sessions depending on how many girls I can find. If there are a lot of you, I think it might be difficult. I also want to ask that you please don't call me if you don't meet the minimum size requirement. I can't take everyone. ONLY CALL IF YOU'RE SURE YOU MEET MY REQUIREMENTS.
- 09If you don't want to show your face :It's an anonymous session. That means you don't want to show your face. That's fine with me. I won't show your face at any point. I want to be very clear about this: I WILL NEVER PUBLISH A PHOTO YOU DON'T AGREE WITH . After each session, I sit down with the model, and we review each photo. If there's a photo where she feels her face is showing too much, we delete it. I'm paying 350 Euros per session. The decision about whether you want to show your face or not is entirely up to you. We can even negotiate a price for me if you want to show your face, and I can improve my offer. It's all about discussing it.
- 10First of all, my schedule is dictated by my clients, and depending on the client, these are the photos they usually request: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, etc. Also, hands with objects: it could be with a can of Coca-Cola, a flower (I have an album published where I have been asked for hands with a flower, and nails the same color as the flower, etc.).Here on my website and Instagram, I'll only post a sample of the photos we take. It makes sense, because if a client pays, they don't want their photos published everywhere for others to get for free.I'm giving you a copy of all the photos taken, with my watermark and signature, but with the understanding that you can't share them with anyone. After all, those photos aren't even for me; they belong to the client who pays me for them. You can share the sample photos (the ones you'll see posted here, and also on my Instagram). The sample photos are there so other girls can see the type of photos I take when they see my ad, and also so other potential clients can see them and be encouraged to place an order if they like this style.Before our session, I will inform you about the theme of the photos we will take, and the manicure I will need for that session, which I would pay for without any problem.IF I DON'T HAVE ANY PENDING ORDERS BUT I DON'T WANT TO MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR HANDS (IF THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL) THEN I WILL DO IT ON A PERSONAL BASIS AND PUBLISH YOUR PHOTOS HERE AND ON INSTAGRAM..YOU WILL HAVE A COPY OF MY PHOTOS, WITH MY WATERMARK AND SIGNATURE.
- 11No, it doesn't. It all depends on the type of hands you have. Some hands look good with long nails, and others don't. I'm increasingly in favor of not putting them on. I have some albums where the girl didn't wear them, and in my opinion, the photos turned out great.By the way, more and more girls are getting their manicures done poorly, or not perfectly. They sometimes come to their appointments with badly painted nails, or with a polish color that doesn't match the type of session we agreed on. For this reason, before your appointment, we'll agree on the type of manicure that best suits your hands, including the polish color, etc. I PREFER THAT A PROFESSIONAL DO YOUR MANICURE, AND I'LL PAY FOR IT. NO PROBLEM ON MY END.
- 12I photograph large hands because I find it's the most common subject (at least in my case) when I receive requests from individuals and some agencies. Foot photography is also very popular... but I mostly get requests for large hands. By the way, I also have an album dedicated to women's feet.
- 13That'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 don't. 18 and 19 cm is the average size of the girls who call me. Setting the size back at 19 cm would mean taking calls from everywhere at all hours, since there are countless girls with that size.By setting the measurement at 21 cm, I ensure that girls who don't meet the hand size profile I'm looking for don't contact me . As I explained in another question, if you're very close to 21 cm (I mean 20-20.5 cm), I might consider it.
- 14Because it helps me weed out all those girls who just call to see if they get lucky. If I put all I said in an ad was "looking for a girl with long or large hands," half the city would call, not just from here but from elsewhere too. By raising the bar and asking for an almost exceptional size for a girl, I make sure that only girls who fit the hand profile I'm looking for call me. Even so, I still get calls from girls who aren't even close to the minimum hand size I require.
- 15Yes, but only if you ask me privately, or if advertising agencies, other girls, or professional models request it for their portfolios or because they want to sell their photos online, etc. If you contact me about feet, feel free to ask.
