I AM IN  "TRADE" MODE.






Photography is a hobby I enjoy and take it seriously as if it is my profession.I conduct my shoots in a professional manner.So.. If you're neither, please move on to the next Photographer profile and let's not waste each others time.
That said, let's shoot.

What to expect before,during and after a shoot.

PART A  -Location
TF* shoots are done on location (outdoors),again.. This is a hobby and I just can't justify expenses such as studio rentals and hair and makeup artists.
Should you require to shoot in a location  or hair and make up that requires costs,that responsibility falls on you.

PART B - studio/hotel rental costs
Of course, all rules have their exceptions,certain situations require certain things for the shoot to work and those things will have costs attached to 'em, say... BOUDOIR session in a hotel room and last time I checked hotels don't engage in TF work,so.. You get the idea.

PART C- shared responsibility
In TF shoot all "AGREED" costs will be split evenly between all parties involved, after all we all equally benefit for the collaboration.  

PART D - Raw files
Copies of pictures in RAW(unedited) will not be handed out period!You wont be able to view it anyway without specific software to process it.

PART E- Distribution
- In an average shoot day (2 -4 hours) The number of frames taken run between 40 to 60 frames,but that doesn't mean that every single one is a good frame.at the end of the shoot,the process doesn't end there for me,I still have to sort,edit the frames for print.each photo,depending on the type of editing could run between few minutes to an hour per image,only a few selected frames will be edited and handed out to the model,so please keep that in mind.
And also expect the turnaround time for edited pictures to be between 5 to  10 days.depending on my schedule.. I maybe able to send you copies earlier,sometimes within 24 hours after the shoot,mind the root word "Sometimes'.

PART F - Free labor
Escorts/chaperone.(free labor)
I always recommend that models I work with(specially on our first shoot) to have someone with them at the shoot so that I can boss them around and use them to help hold lights.hehehe. But seriously speaking,so that you are at ease and comfortable at the shoot.Trust me if the model is un-comfortable..it will manifest in the pictures.READ ON BELOW,VERY IMPORTANT REGARDING ESCORTS/CHAPERON.(Free labor).

PART G - Off limits
Boyfriends,Husbands,Lovers are NOT allowed at the shoot period!!- I've had several situations where they only cause distraction.If they are your source of mobility(ride), after droping  you off at the location they can hang out at Starbucks or wherever but not at the location.If this will be an issue on shoot day,we can end the shoot even before it starts.Of all the rules I setup for my shoot,this is the one I have no wiggle room and not open to discussion.Everyone has specifics on what to do and not to do,you have yours and i will respecfully comply with it,This.. Is mine.

PART H -  Anti-wrinkle
- Model release forms, each Model,MUAh,and designer will sign a release just right before we start shooting.We cannot proceed without a signed release.
Signed release forms will be emailed to you  as soon as I have access to the Internet.
