for TFCD, the cd has the best shots touched up for any minor defects. for TFP, it is a negotiated number of prints; minimum of 2 8x10s.

I normally provide a photoCD of the some of the images from the shoot.  Depending upon how easy the model was to work with I will lightly photoshop a few images.

I provide bottled water and snackage at the shoot. I encourage models to bring their own music as my tastes are far too sophisticated for most mortals. I give two CDs, first one I burn on the spot of screen res (you can set up actions in Photoshop to re-res them). This has all the images. My release states that these are for review only. This makes the model happy, she knows she has something and will not get completely stiffed. The next CD may take a couple of weeks. I ask the model to make a list of her favorite images, including her most favorite shot. I do the same, my list is usually much smaller than hers. Then I take images that are on both lists, ten MAX if it was a great shoot, and do the magic Photoshop fix. I correct for color casts, minor touch up if needed (if there is major touch up I toss it) cropping, and sharpen a bit. The model gets this final CD as .tif files in hi-res and .jpg files downsized for posting on her page.

Nemi Bea, if you ever come to Bellingham, I will provide as many pies as you would like! Lots of Dutch and so on up here and they might be the results of inbreeding but they bake the be-jeezus out of pie!!
