Portfolio images for Models, Dancers and Actors

I do from time to time I do a few TFP/CD (time for print/CD of images) shoots for new models, if I approach them. (others who require portfolio shoots see below) For those not acquainted with this term it is a simple and cost effective way of getting images for portfolio use. Both for the model and the photographer. No money changes hands and the images can be used for self promotion only. Any model wanting to take advantage of this must have a professional and business like attitude to modelling.

I normally charge for models, dancers and actors portfolios. These are discussed and designed to suit individual needs and are priced accordingly. The shoots can be done in the studio or on location and can last bewteen 4 to 12 hours work on one or more days. An agreed number of images are edited by myself and supplied in CD in JPEG's suitable for online portfolios and also in TIFF files suitable for printing to hard copy. A contract of usage is also supplied, no commercial use of the images other than portfolio use. The copyright of all images remains with the photographer.

The cost varies, however, the average shoot costs around £200.
