First Time Shoot

Photo Shoot

IN HOUSE

«Hello and welcome. If this is your first time shooting with me you’ll find this page very useful.»

Let's get started

INTRODUCTION

22.12.2017. / Photo Shoot

IN-HOUSE STUDIO EXPERIENCE

My goal here is to help you understand what to expect before, during, and after our first photo shoot. This shoot is likely to be conducted at my home using a small corner I’ve set up as a meager studio. Here you may recognize the 2-3 light setup I used with a large octagon softbox as my main light complimented by a smaller softbox and a grid flash. Keep scrolling for examples.

I’ve been specializing in photography and graphic design since 1999, therefore, most of my photo magic happens after the shoot during retouching.

Things to consider

BEFORE THE SHOOT

Self-explanatory right? Confirm and mark the date on your calendar, you don't want to mistakenly double book.

This is almost essential if you're new to modeling. Use Pinterest and Google to save inspiring images with styles and poses you want to try at our shoot.

C'mon, ask me anything. I'm may not respond 24/7 but you can text me anytime and I will answer anything on your mind.

Be comfortable

You Should Wear

25

Casual

Something you would wear on an average day that makes you feel beautiful.

25

Dressy/Edgy

Consider 'dress to impress'. Something sexy like a little black dress or your equivalent.

25

Sporty

What do you workout in or what you wear to practice your favorite sport in. Yep, that goes here.

25

Swimsuit/Lingerie

This is optional. If you are comfortable shooting in lingerie it will showcase versatility in your portfolio.

Once I import the raw images into Lightroom, you’ll be able to view, comment, and like them within 24 hours. I’ll begin editing your favorites shortly after. Check out the following before and afters!

See you soon...

Summary

Please inform me of any escorts well ahead of time, I DO NOT ALLOW MALE ESCORTS.

Essentially, my TFP/TFCD shoots go as follows:

1. We have likely agreed on a theme in exchange for this shoot, if not, please contact me for theme confirmation because I am currently only doing TF shoots if they fit a current project I am working on or if we have previously discussed a purpose for the photos produced at this shoot.

2. I generally set aside about 2hrs (give or take).

3. In addition to the theme or attire we’ve discussed when setting up this shoot, I also suggest shooting in a little from each major category ie. Casual, Dressy, Sporty, Swim, & Lingerie (if comfortable). Don’t worry, we will go through those pretty quick for the first shoot, in the following shoots, we will focus on the outfits you did best in.

4. After the shoot, you’ll receive a link to view all of the raw images.

5. At your leisure, you can comment or like your favorites & I can begin editing!

Edits: For my TF shoots, I generally do not guarantee a set number of edits. I have agreed to a TF shoot because you have inspired me in some way or form and the amount of edits I produce depends on that inspiration. For portfolio purposes, I do not like to edit too many images in the same attire but additional edits can always be purchased at any time.

Non-watermarked edits/images are only available for paid shoots and I do require a model release (stating we both can use the photos for our portfolios and any other free personal promotional materials but not for sale or transferring publication rights).

Any questions, feel free to call/text/email/inbox me anytime.
