TFP = time For Prints
TFCD = time for CD
in other words the models time in return for prints or a CD.
I have also heard it called test for prints and trade for prints.
Same thing.
Purpose for photogapher is to either test out new equipment or model or just to get some portfolio shots for update.
Purpose for model is to get some portfolio shots (for initial or update)
It can also be used by new photographers and models to get in some practice.

TFP - Time for Prints
TFCD - Time for CD with images

Basically you and the photographer get together for the shoot. You provide your time/talent to the photographer in exchange for prints and/or a CD with images. The actual size and quantity of the prints/images on CD will be negotiated between you and the photographer.

There may or may not be a MUA available.. the photographer may ask you to pay for the MUA... the photographer may ask you to sign a release to get complete rights over the pics or only promotional use rights... all is negotiable.

No such thing as a standard TFP or TFCD shoot.

You should always negotiate exactly what you are going to get BEFORE the shoot.

3. Twelve Freaken Pesos ( what you say when a Hooker Model in Tia Juana charges you.

4. Two Freaken Pizzas ( what you have to order for models at your private shoots.

5. Two Frucken Pretty (What Dumb Frucken Horny Photographers say to new models.

6. Travel For Pay. (What Porn site models charge you before you even begin to photograph them)

7. Tape, Film & Porn. (What photographers are doing with their Cam Corders durring photoshoots.)

8. Tomarrows Fake Pleasures. (What Models and Photographers do after every photoshoot.

9. Treamble, Fear & Pain (What photographers do after paying Models $1000.00 an hour for images they will never profit from.
