Starting way back in the days of film and real dark rooms I photographed friends and and people around me. Small things also had my fascination. I even have a degree in photography (1982) but psychology stayed my main occupation as my parents did not agree me studying arts. But the blood runs thicker than water: I kept photographing as much as I could.https://www.instagram.com/jankarelkok/

Fine art nude got my interest from the work of Luciën Clergue and als Kishin Shinoyama. Lack of models I started with nude selfportraits. If I remember well my first artistic nude dates back to 2006. She understood well the intention: creating art. Later my partner agreed to model for me. Eventually I ended up in my homestudio which is growing into a studiohome. I prefer to work in my studio but lately I also work on location. If I have a message it would be a struggle to enjoy the beauty of a body, regardless of age. A struggle, because for me too it is not always evident.
As I am retired I got lots of time which adds to my experience. I still make photos in nature, I still make nude self portraits and recently I did return to film, using some vintage camera's.
Well that is me in very few words...
Such a stunning portfolio. Really beautiful work!
Nice to see each you here too. Beautiful artistic work. I love the creativity and vulnerability of your images.
Inderdaad! Jij ook hier :-) Thank you very much for your comment. I try to stay on my own path; always a bit different, always a bit the same.
As a former museum curator, I would tell you to get your work out to the fine art crowd. Duncan Miller Gallery in Santa Monica is doing a lot to promote fine art work from vintage notable artists through new and emerging artists. They sponsor the Your Daily Photograph website too, check it out.
The website you mentioned repeats the subscription page. No photos :-(
Okay, I'm in :-)
Interesting site
I don't consider myself a buyer though ;-)
https://www.yourdailyphotograph.com/ and sign-up for starters (it’s free) and then you can access any archives or see what’s sold previously and in collection. Let me know how it goes?
Also see: https://shop.yourdailyphotograph.com/collections/homepage to see what's been for sale.
No need to buy here's the submission point of entry: https://www.yourdailyphotograph.com/in
I'd bet if you submitted some of your images they'd start making them available for sale.

Can you put into words what makes them more appealing to you?
A perfekt model beautilly lightend. It couldn’t be better.
Beautiful work - I love your style! We also sometimes shoot on film, 35mm and 6x6 format. Looking forward to seeing more of your inspiring and sensual images.
Thank you! You will see more in the near future. Sometimes it takes a while, for I tend to wait till I have edited the whole series.
I generally don't edit any of our images beyond cropping :-) I don't want to spend the time! The biggest thing I do is change contrast/exposure in camera from the RAW file.
Nice to see you here! :-)
