What’s in it?

You will also receive a 15% off discount coupon on other prints, which are printed professionally at home by us and are available in different sizes and on different types of paper such as earthly virgin cotton, shimmery metallic paper and matte cardstock.
Am I a fit?
Do you have a body? Then, you are a fit. We are not looking for models, certain body types, ages, genders or aesthetic of any kind. We are looking for HUMAN. That’s you! We have had the opportunity and blessing to photograph people in range of all ages, and have made glorious art with people shaped in every form. We celebrate every-body and hope this message to radiate, bounce, giggle, sing & dance through every piece of work shared. You are beautiful, inside out and outside in and do NOT, EVER, need to worry whether or not you are good enough to partake in our events.
Are you shy? Insecure? Scared? Neurodivergent? Please know that you are at home in our circle, too. We truly believe that in ways, we all live and carry our shape and taste of these things and are constantly proven how shifts, minor and major, are bound to happen when stepping out of your comfort circle, into another. Safety, respect and acknowledgment are priorities and come before poses and picture perfects.
We wish for you to feel Seen, never ‘looked at’. Our experiences with groupshoots so far has shown us how every group of gathering naked humans brings forth the power of a safe space created so organically, as though we have know each other for a long time already. Please feel free to scroll through these reflections and reviews to see what others have had to say about their experience with us and this space of cocreation.

These works are our ‘blueprints’ and ‘business cards’ and we would love for you to leave them as they are. Adjustment in form of blurring out nipples and genitals for the sake of making shareable on socials, is totally okay. Should you wish to have a specific edit done for printing work, please don’t hesitate to ask for it and we’ll see if we can accommodate your wishes!

SOBERTY
This is a sober event. Gently do we remind you, (potential) participant, that we need everyone sober for this joint experience that we’ll be sharing. Communication and being present with what we will be creating together is very important, and one of our number one priorities. Substances, including cannabis, will impact our ability to communicate clearly with each other. Even when you are confident that (given substance) does not affect your ability to communicate clearly, please remember it may affect someone else’s ability to feel safe in this space with you. Therefore, please come prepared to be sober for the duration of our time of ACTIVELY shooting together. Smoking cannabis, or drinking a beer AFTER the day of shooting is over, and moderately, there is room for. If you need to use nicotine, please be considerate of your fellow participants. We ask you kindly to step out of the shared group space for any smoke/vape nicotine needs. Thank you for your understanding.
DOGS
Unfortunately, this particular event/location does not allow for dogs or other pets to join.
VEGANISM, VEGETARIANS, INTOLERANCES & ALLERGIES
Are you living a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, and/or dealing with food intolerances and/or allergies? After the purchase of your ticket, please make sure to inform us in time and we will do what is in our reach in order to accommodate your needs. Please, consider being thoughtful in regards to the line between ‘preferences’ and ‘needs’: we only have so much room to wiggle when it comes to preparing different types of dishes with camping gear in the dessert. Thank you for your understanding!
BRINGING PARTNERS, FRIENDS & FAM
Though we understand that roaming around with strangers in the wilderness can potentially be a scary thing to do, we do not allow participants to bring partners, family and/or friends who do not participate, in to the space of the shoot location. This is for the reason of protecting feelings of safety and privacy of your fellow participants, so that they can undress and expose comfortably without feeling ‘looked at’. Obviously, your partner(s)/friend(s)/family are welcome to join us in the space of cocreation, should they feel called to participate and have purchased a ticket.
