Marketa is the Czech femme fatale who zipped like a shooting star up the popularity charts after her appearance on Hegre-Art. Marketa is both playful and erotic with the symmetrically perfect features of a Greek goddess and a look in her eye that is almost unnerving. She is in so many ways the near perfect muse.

The Algarve is in the south of Portugal and is known as the California of Europe with the best white beaches and big waves that attract surfers from all over the world. The air is sweet and clean from the Atlantic winds and, inland, the fertile hillsides are dotted with olive trees, orange groves and vineyards. This is the kind of environment where Marketa will feel right at home.

During the coming days, we will publish a teasing glimpse of the thousands of images I plan to take.
