Planning or considering shooting with me?
Thats so awesome! Perhaps one of the greatest idea's you may ever have!
So here are a few things to know about shooting with me.
I shoot nude people. Nude females, nude males, both are more interesting to me than people wearing clothes. I do not shoot porn however. So if you are considering working with me, be prepared to consider posing nude during the shoot. Before we shoot there will be a conversation about your comfort leval and we will have established what to expect from each other before the shutter button is ever released. As already noted though, no pornographic poses will be a part of my shoots. Unless your willing to hire me to shoot them for you for around 100 million dollars per image.. then maybe we can talk.
I hate drama, and am inclined to lean towards being a goofball. Expect to have fun on my shoots. Most my shoots end up somehow involving ordering pizza and finnish up with a meal at Hooters. Mostly my shoots are about artwork and fun.
Compensation. Sometimes I'm hired to shoot, sometimes i hire models to shoot. Sometimes I shoot TFCD. It all depends. My new TFCD policy will be around 10 images edited on CD within 10-14 days unless another arrangment is agreed upon.
The day of a shoot: Being puntual is a matter of professionalism. Chances are we've had this shoot planned for quite a while, and while last minute emergencies do sometimes happen, anything less than an emergency (and emergency's are things more like your house suddenly blowing up, your great half uncle being abducted by aliens and the universe unexpectently turning into a massive bowl of jello- and less like, waking up late with a hangover, being too mad to model due to having just had the second worst argument in the last three weeks with your BFF) will be considered rude and unprofessional. And could affect the possiblilty of us working together in the future.
A few other thoughts, a while ago Ia had a otherwise great model show up with half her nails manicured and the other half undone- and even one nail showing noticiably chewed up! Think about how your body will look in the images we create. Get a good nights rest, make sure all your nails, (hands and feet) are done nicely. And especialy in light of posing nude try to refrain from wearing clothes to the shoot that will leave marks on your body once we are shooting.
Feel free to bring all the clothers and props you can think of!
Another thing is the matter of release forms and 2257 compliance forms please check out my Documents page to get familer with the forms that will have to be signed before we shoot!
Incorrigibly yours,
