"Time for Photos" or TFP for short, is a mutual
collaboration between a photographer and a model. The photographer agrees to
shoot the model at no charge and give photos in lieu of paying a modeling fee.
This synergistic session allows the photographer and model to try new ideas and
perfect new techniques, while bringing to life new images for both the model and
photographer's portfolios.
Under normal circumstances, a model would pay my regular
rates for a photo shoot. However, I will gladly consider a TFP arrangement if
the model's look is suitable for something that I want to shoot, if I want to
update my own portfolio or test out new photographic techniques, or if you have
a unique idea for a photo shoot that I like. Here are some details about
the way I do TFP:
- You will be given a CD which will include high
resolution images from the shoot. The images that you will receive
will be retouched and post-processed, if necessary. There will
typically be between five and ten photos depending upon the length of the
session. These photos are for your unrestricted use. You will
receive this CD within two weeks of the shoot.
- The CD will also contain a web photo gallery of the
proofs.
- I will ask that you sign a standard model release form
for TFP photography.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you are new to modeling
or even completely inexperienced. A TFP session will be a learning experience
for both of us while adding to both of our portfolios.
