A: It’s an existing concept, borrowed from Rich at bearhotel.net. It’s more like a theme, if you will. I live in Belgium, but whenever I have time during my travels, I’m happy to take photos.
A: I’ll be forever grateful that you’re joining me on this project. As a thank you, you’ll receive a selection of photos personally chosen by me.
A: Absolutely! Let’s do the Bear Motel shots first, then I’ll gladly make time for some extra photos, just for you. Let your imagination run wild! I’m not easily shocked, so if you have a particular fetish, that’s no problem.
A: This is about creating art, not making love. And it’s definitely not a sneaky way to get you naked in a hotel room.
A: The shoots happen in a hotel — either one you choose or where I’m staying. If you happen to have a hotel room right now… you get to jump to the front of the line!
A: Absolutely not. That’s completely up to you. You can keep your underwear on or tease a little between “clothed” and naked.
A: Definitely. We don’t have secrets, do we? And you're cute.
A: Usually about an hour is enough (but I schedule some extra time so we can take it easy).
A: I want a mix of guys… big, small, fat, thin, hairy, smooth, muscular, older, younger, trans, cis, all races, backgrounds, and colors. Bear Motel is all about body positivity and celebrating diversity. You don’t even have to have a beard. Just don’t be average (and of course, 18+).
A: It’s a mix of black & white and color photos.
A: Unfortunately, I’m no wizard, but I do my best.
A: I want each photoset to show the personality of the participant, but there are some standard shots: at least one photo in a bathrobe, one in a towel, one on the bed, and one in the bathroom.
A: Of course! Just credit me or add a link to bearmotel.be, and that’s perfect.
A: For now, they’re on the website, Instagram, and Bluesky. Who knows what the future holds!
A: Just a few fun motel questions. It helps us get to know the person a bit better. Take a look at our Motel Questions sneak peek. 👀
A: Then they won’t be shown. I respect you!
