For TFP Photographers--The Primer

Below is a collection of articles I have written to help TFP photographers understand what I need and what I am about.  Many models who do TFP images are new in the business and need a few good shots for their portfolios.  They can shoot 60 frames, and if one comes out well, they are happy.  This is not the case with me.  I need large sets of a specific type.

I have also discovered many "photographers" who say they want to shoot TFP are not what they claim to be at all.  Frequently they are just a guy with a camera who wants some home-made dirty pictures or wants to get laid.  Sorry, I don't provide those services.

On the other hand, I have been contacted by many talented professional photographers who say they want to shoot me, but are willing to relinquish only a few retouched and perfected images.  While I would like to work with these photographers, it is a waste of my time to shoot for a whole day and get nothing I can use on my website.

So please, if you want to work with me, have a look at these guidelines. If there is any particular point that gives you trouble, please contact me through my Model Mayhem page and let's see if we can work it out.
