Other photographers may run things different ways, but after doing many TFP sessions, this is what works best for me. I use this page as a reference for models so that there isn’t any misunderstandings about what is to happen before, during and after our photo shoot. Also, note that this is for TFP/CD sessions only. Paying clients have different standards. THESE RULES ARE FOR TFP/CD ONLY. I will make this as brief as possible. 1. A TFP/CD is an exchange of services. It is NOT “WORKING FOR FREE”. I am trading my photography services for your modeling services. My services have a monetary value as does your modeling time. With this investment of services, each party is to use the results to market and advance themselves. Sometimes these services aren’t of equal value but an upfront understanding is vital so that both parties feel good about the process. 2. Currently, any TFP/CD work that I’m doing may, or may not, be used for content on DimeParadise.com, an e-zine that I publish. My focus is glamour (DimeParadise.com e-zine), beauty/fashion (agency-quality models only) and nudes (gallery or competition entry). 3. For beauty, fashion and nude work, I like to have a concept in mind before shooting. While I also prefer to have a pre-conceived concept when shooting glamour, I am capable of going “freestyle” and creating excellent work without it. 4. While I do shoot nudes, I’ve chosen not to add them to this website. In the future, I will create an erotica website to feature that work. 5. I require a discussion of the shoot with the model by phone. During our discussion, I generally ask about the model’s comfort level (if shooting glamour or nudes), outfits and availability. 6. The model(s) will be responsible for her outfits. The model(s) will be responsible for makeup artists and hair stylists, if needed. I can hire a makeup artist but the cost will be passed on to the model(s). 7. My TFP/CD shoots typically consist of 1-2 looks. 8. I expect models to fit categories. Glamour models to have curves. Fashion models to be tall. Nude models to be fit. Beauty models to be uniquely beautiful (good skin and bone structure). 9. A model release, usage agreement and 2257 compliance statement must be signed before any shooting happens. For 2257 compliance, a copy of a photo ID containing date of birth (usually a driver’s license) will be kept on file. If the shoot is non-glamour or non-nude, the compliance statement may be optional. 10. As stated in my usage agreement, modifications of delivered images is strictly prohibited. 11. I will deliver the best shots from our shoot. For each look, I will deliver 2-3 retouched images. I make the image selections. I do not deliver all shots from a shoot. Additional images will incur an additional cost. 12. After the model selects the images, they will be delivered between 2 weeks to 1 month unless stated differently. The time of delivery will be based on how many other clients’  photos that I’m currently working on. The images will be in JPEG format and will contain a watermark. The longer side of the image will be 600-800 pixels in size. The images will be delivered by e- mail, or in special cases, by CD. 13. Prints or print-ready images are available at an extra cost. Ask about prices as they differ based on size (5×7, 8×10,  9×12 available). If you take the print-ready images to an independent printer, I can’t guarantee results as my files are calibrated to my specific printer. 14. There will be no escorts, chaperons, bodyguards or anyone of that nature at our shoot. If you want your driver to come in and meet me, fine … but then they leave. If you want to meet me before the shoot, fine … if it’s convenient to my schedule. If you have a makeup artist, GREAT … but if she’s to hang around after working on you, make sure that it’s someone that you’re comfortable working in front of. And let me be very clear … DON’T EVER SHOW UP TO MY PLACE WITH SOMEONE WE HAVE NOT DISCUSSED BEFOREHAND. THAT IS DISRESPECTUL AND RUDE. 15. If you don’t show up, there will not be a rescheduling of the photo shoot. If you cancel within 24 hours of the shoot, there will not be a rescheduling of the photo shoot without a refundable deposit. If you’re grossly late, the shoot will be considered canceled. 16. I usually shoot out of my home studio, so your privacy is protected during the shoot. 17. This is my business. I take it seriously. I ask that anyone that I work with carry a professional attitude, whether they’re a beginner, a professional or a modeling veteran. 18. I can provide references upon request. 19. I don’t shoot minors for any kind of glamour work … only beauty or fashion. Minors that I work with MUST be accompanied by a parent throughout the photo shoot. No exceptions. 20. Let’s shoot!!!
