About me, MrMankemang
I’m a photographer based in Gothenburg, Sweden, born in 1988, who fell in love with the art of photography from a young age. What began as curiosity in childhood grew into a profession in 2015. I had my own company but then Covid happened, and now I'm back to doing it as a hobby.
I’ve been on both sides of the lens. I used to model when I was younger, which I believe gives me an edge for perspectives and hopefully to make my models feel comfortable and understood.
Why nude fine art? Honestly, since I enjoyed it myself and it's a question that I have gotten a lot through my career. People are curious and want to get art of themselves through the perspective of a photographer. It’s about capturing the human form from different perspectives. Creating images that celebrate the body without crossing into the explicit. And every person has a story in the way they stand, the way they move, the way they exist in a moment. My role is to notice it, frame it, and give it back to you as art.
I am a social being. During our communication I'll get to know you and you'll get to know me a bit better. It's a part of who I am but also how I work and for me to feel comfortable too.
Good to Know
My goal is to make our shoot as relaxed and comfortable as possible while still creating something beautiful and unique.
Communication is key, so if you’re unsure about a pose, location or anything else, just let me know. And we can take a break or stop at any time.
I would appreciate if you saw me, the photographer, as an asexual being in all of this. I have no interest in taking things further than an artistic photo-shoot.
All files and contracts are kept private.
I see every shoot as a collaboration. The best results happen when we both feel comfortable and inspired.

The process
Work Basis
First of all before anything else. I only take TFP (Time for print) jobs and paid jobs. I do not pay for models at this point. Hopefully this will change in the future, but since this is not an income so far, but a passion project. I simply can’t afford that.
When I get paid the money will go for travels and equipment for the project.

Before Booking
Before we book anything I would prefer to communicate on your expectations, your ideas, and any questions you might have. When you book me I will send you information you need to know. I will also attach a contract for the shoot. This is so to protect the both of us and so that our shoot together will be as easy, safe, and enjoyable as possible.

Artistic Scope
I aim for artistic nude art. This means I avoid taking up on jobs that are too erotic or are connected to any sort of fetish. My focus is on body form, emotion, mood and storytelling.

Privacy & Image Use
Images will only be used in ways we agree on before the shoot. If you want to remain anonymous, or limit where the images are shown, that can be arranged. I will never share your contact details with anyone unless approved by you.

Preparation
Please shower before the shoot and wear clothes that are comfortable and maybe a bit loose fitting, to avoid skin marks from clothes that I then later have to edit. It’s also a good idea to bring a robe.
Retouching
I try to keep to light retouching only. I remove temporary marks, smoothen skin, adjust lighting and colours, but I won’t alter your body shape.

Turnaround Time
It all depends on my schedule, since this isn't my full time occupation. I usually deliver the final edited images within 2–3 weeks after the shoot, through I always try to keep it closer to the shoot.
