For TFP Photographers--The session

If we decide to shoot TFP (Time for Pictures) I want to make sure we both make the most of our time.  Therefore:

WHAT I EXPECT FROM YOU:

  1. I will need to get at least 3 sets of 50 or more USABLE (clear, focused, properly lit) images.  Each set should take about an hour, so please plan accordingly.
  2. We will have planned our sets before the day of the shoot.  I will no longer be showing up to a shoot with no clear idea of what I will be doing. 
  3. Please have lights, background, etc. set up when I arrive.  I will be driving to you while you are setting up.  
  4. If you have pictures you want to look at for inspiration or whatever, please show them to me.  I love new ideas! 
  5. After each set, we will take a minute to review the pictures we have got and discuss how to make the next set better. 
  6. Be ready to give me CDs with my images on them.If you don't have CDs or a CD drive, please tell me before the shoot.  We will have to work out other arrangements.   
  7. Be prepared to sign a photographers release
  8. I do not do spread shots so please don't ask
  9. I allow myself to be tied only loosely and only when I have brought and escort
  10. PLEASE refrain from making sexual comments or vulgar statements.  We are both here to work, not to get laid. 

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME:


  1. I will turn up on time or I will let you know if I am running late. 
  2. If I can't make the session, I will tell you as soon as I know for sure.
  3. I will bring everything I need for my sets, unless we have previously arranged for you to bring or provide something (for example, if you have access to something I do not have)
  4. I work fast.  I change poses quickly.  While I do take direction well, I do not have to be "posed" like a Barbie  Doll. 
  5. I am pleasant, businesslike, and drama-free.  I am easy to get along with.  
  6. I have a pretty god idea of what I want and need form my images.  I will work with you in every way possible to make sure we both get what we want. 
  7. I believe in communication.  The more we can talk to each other, the better the pictures will be.
