Do you offer Time for Print?
Yes, I am happy to work on a TFP basis for models who are building or updating their portfolios, provided they fit the aesthetic and vision I am looking for. Please send me your portfolio link to discuss specifics.
Do you hire models?
Yes, but on a limited basis.
Can I hire you?
Yes, if we agree on a project that is interesting.
What should I wear/bring to the shoot?
I recommend bringing 5–6 outfit changes that fit the theme of the shoot (e.g.,lingerie, club wear, casual), with an eye to potential mix and match. As a general rule, avoid outfits that have “busy” patterns.
Accessories such as gloves, hats, scarves are great to have on hand. I don’t recommend you bring jewelry but if you do cheap looks just as good on film.
You should bring comfortable shoes you can walk in, especially if we are shooting at an outdoor location. Some indoor venues may not be suitable for high heels.
You are welcome to bring s a few props if you like, that help express your personality.
A toiletry kit for touch-ups.
What about hair and make up?
Unless otherwise agreed, the model is responsible for their own hair and make up.
For make up aim for a matte skin finish to prevent unwanted glare and emphasize clean, even skin. Use a cream contour for subtle depth and keep highlighting minimal. Groom your eyebrows and opt for a natural, thin eyeliner application rather than heavy drama. Choose satin or matte lipsticks to avoid a wet look, and use blush to bring life to your complexion. Choose red or pink for lipstick, unless we agree on alternative shades. Always set your makeup with powder or setting spray to ensure longevity and bring a touch-up kit for any shine that appears during the session.
For hair, keep in mind that outdoor shoots can be challenging for elaborate hair styles, so plan accordingly.
What are the usage rights for the images?
This depends on the agreement we make.
For TFP shoots, the photographer retains usage rights for portfolio, website, and social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), Reddit). If the model wishes to use the images for commercial purposes, I am generally open to that, but we need to discuss first. Note that I consider Onlyfans, Patreon etc to be commercial purposes.
For shoots where the model receives compensation, the photographer retains usage rights for portfolio, website, social media and commercial use. I usually share a few of the images with the model for limited portfolio use.
For content creators, I am happy to discuss various arrangements. Sometimes TFP works, sometimes a hybrid of TFP and paid.
For shoots where the photographer receives compensation, the model (client) retains usage rights jointly with the photographer. The photographer does not have commercial rights, except for portfolio or social media use. The model (client) can stipulate that images not be used for the photographer’s social media if desired.
What styles do you shoot?
I usually shoot narrative, boudoir and fine art in a natural, editorial style.
