SERVICES:

PAID Work and TFP

My primary focus is on paid work which will takes priority over any type of TFP considerations. While this implies that I am open to TFP, it is very selective whom I’ll work with in these regards. A model should be bringing something to the shoot that is of a intangible value. If she has substantial publishing credits and fan base that usually helps. In some cases a model may have the right sort of look I want for a particular shoot. Just keep in mind that. In some case my rate may be more negotiable. Point is I have a huge archive of past shoots so a model definitely needs to bring something new to the table for TFP considerations.
RATES :

Rates are based on estimated time and complexity of the shoot. Time is calculated for both shooting and post work. Obviously the more complex the shoot the more time it will take to complete. Being descriptive regarding the look your going for will help me in figuring a price. If your idea will involve considerable time in photoshop or set building, prop gathering and location scouting etc. It will cost ya.

BOOKING :

To book a shoot and secure the date requires a non-refundable deposit of $50. This will go toward your shoot cost. This fee generally has ensured that the model shows up. You can reschedule your date upto the week prior to the initial date should something come up. Point is to limit the flaking of models who do not give prompt notice or notice at all and potentially cost potential paid work.
Retouching:

Generally I only retouch my own images. However I have been getting more and more messages asking if I offer retouch services. My rate for retouch is $50 per hour. Models will need permission from the photographers. I would prefer the RAW file as opposed to a jpg. I do my post work tweaks in Apple Aperture3/Adobe CS4 and RAW provides more latitude for color and exposure adjustments than a jpg file. Also the quality of the retouch is only as good as the quality of the image to start with.
A thing you should know about me ....

I do all my own retouching. I'm always trying new techniques and always learning
