Below are a few Frequently Asked Questions to help you get an idea of the way I tend to work. Ultimately though, I like to produce pictures that fulfill what you need as a model, as well as the kind of style i&#8217;m looking to create.<\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;m not a model, would you do a photoshoot with me?<\/em><br \/>\nQuite possibly, you don&#8217;t need to have experience of modelling (most of the people i&#8217;ve worked with haven&#8217;t) you just have to be open to ideas and happy to spend some time working together to get a good result.<\/p>\n<p><em>How long does a shoot take?<br \/>\n<\/em>It depends! Mainly on the number of locations or the complexity of what we&#8217;re trying to achieve. But as a guide i&#8217;d allow at least 2 hours, longer if we&#8217;re walking around a city finding locations as we go.) But usually no more than 3-4 hours at the most.<\/p>\n<p><em>What kind of people do you like to work with?<br \/>\n<\/em>Friendly people who are open to ideas! Generally I only shoot with guys, as it&#8217;s male portraiture skills i&#8217;m trying to develop. I&#8217;m particularly interested in working with muscular men and bodybuilders but if you have an interesting or distinctive alternative look i might be interested too! If you&#8217;re not sure, <a href=\"http:\/\/spreadsheets.google.com\/viewform?formkey=dHZHcXI0Vl9zRUZEMnVBSy00M3o2U1E6MA\" target=\"_blank\">get in touch<\/a>, it&#8217;s always worth a chat.<\/p>\n<p><em>What does TFCD\/TFP (&#8220;Time for&#8221; shoot) mean?<br \/>\n<\/em>In simple terms, you give your time for free as a model, and in return you get free photos to use in your portfolio. Generally, after a shoot i&#8217;ll email you a link to download a file containing high resolution versions of the final shots (suitable for prints) as well as some smaller versions suitable for use on websites like Facebook.<\/p>\n<p><em>How many images will i get?<br \/>\n<\/em>It depends on how well the shoot goes and how many different setups we create. But typically you&#8217;ll get 5-10 polished images.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you provide wardrobe?<br \/>\n<\/em>No, you&#8217;ll need to provide your own clothing. Usually models bring along a selection of outfits and accessories to mix and match.<\/p>\n<p><em>Can we meet up to discuss a shoot?<br \/>\n<\/em>Absolutely, if after exchanging messages online we&#8217;re both interested in working together, then i&#8217;m happy to meet locally for a coffee where practical to discuss ideas. The main thing is that you&#8217;re totally comfortable with the shoot and what will happen on the day.<\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;ve got an idea for something creative, are you interested?<br \/>\n<\/em>Yes&#8230;get in touch, i&#8217;d love to hear your ideas!<\/p>\n<p><em>Are the images mine to keep?<br \/>\n<\/em>Yes, but the copyright remains mine. You&#8217;ll get a copy of your images along with a print release which allows you to use the images as you like for non-commercial purposes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you shoot porn?<br \/>\n<\/em>NO. It&#8217;s not about naked photos, and generally i&#8217;ll only shoot shirtless or underwear shots at the most. While i&#8217;m not saying my photography is art, it&#8217;s not porn either, so you can be comfortable that a shoot will be professional and not create any photos you wouldn&#8217;t want to show your granny!<\/p>\n<p><em>Should I have a haircut, fake tan, or sunbed the day before the shoot?<br \/>\n<\/em>Generally speaking, no! If a haircut is going to radically change your look, let me know so i can plan for it. Fake tans and sunbeds the day before can leave you looking bright orange or lobster red in the shots! If you&#8217;re not sure, just ask!<\/p>\n<p><em>Can I bring a friend to the shoot?<br \/>\n<\/em>Yes, I don&#8217;t mind you bringing one friend along (by prior arrangement), so long as the friend doesn&#8217;t mind pitching in to carry equipment and help out and understands they may spend a lot of time standing around.<\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;m interested, what do I do next?<br \/>\n<\/em>Great!
