Question: First of, I wanted to ask how did you came into the adult genre?
Answer: I have been a photographer for more than 20 years now, and my work was most of the time in a black and white laboratory. Nude photography was a hobby for me - something just for fun. Five years ago, because of digital photography, my business went down slowly, so it was time for me to find a new way to make money. So I started a new life as a photographer but it was a "full time job" only nude photography.
Question: Why did you start an adult site?
Answer: It is the only way to show all what I want and only what I want. I wanted to do only black and white pictures; today, it is very difficult to sell black and white pictures to magazines. So today Gallery Carre is my way to look at the female body. I am free. I work for me and for the members I share the photos. They are happy and so am I.
Question: Do you operate any other site?
Answer: No just Gallery Carre
Question: What are your insights regarding the niches you cover?
Answer: This is really a very small "niche." We are less than 10 photographers who do such pictures - hard and clean at the same time. We all know each other, and some of us are friends. We exchange original prints. It is "cool."
Question: The competition in online porn is pretty steep. What makes your sites different from your competitions?
Answer: There are two answers. First, it is the only site where you can see all kinds of styles: soft pictures, hard pictures, studio, outdoor, famous porn actress or "first timer" model. There are all kinds of bodies, but always a tribute to female body. Second, day after day, I just build the web site I would like to watch. When I like a picture, I want to share it with everyone.
Question: Generally members are considered as the lifeblood of each site. What is the best thing about your members?
Answer: I receive many emails everyday, and most of them say "Thank you for sharing your pictures with us." They are members, so they have paid to watch the photos, but we never speak about money. I don't feel like someone who sells something.
Question: What about dislike, is there anything you do not like about the members?
Answer: I receive (once a month) some emails saying that what I do is just porn pictures, but this is so few emails. I am very happy with all the members. I trust them, and they trust me.
Question: Why don't we shift the gears a bit and talk about what goes on behind the scene. How do you choose the themes?
Answer: I don't choose themes. I want to do all the themes.
Question: How often do you shoot photo shoots?
Answer: Two or three times a month.
Question: During these photo shoots, have you worked with different photographers?
Answer: No, I always work alone. Sometimes I work with other photographers. We share the cost to rent a house and pay the models, but everyone does his own job.
Question: How do you choose models for the site?
Answer: They must be beautiful, for sure, but the most important is that they must love to do this job and they must be able to show that they are proud to do what the usual girl doesn't dare to do.
Question: What are your future plans?
Answer: New models, new travels, new pictures, and many, many new members !!
