If you want to shoot me for TFP (Time for Pictures) I will almost always be happy to work with you. My site requires an exhausting number of updates, so whenever I can shoot a set (See "What is a Photo Set?" if you din't know what that means) I am usually up for it.
Although Southern Charms is an amateur website, the photos do need to be professional quality. Before I agree to work with you, I will need to see some samples of your work. Your Model Mayhem page or online portfolio will do nicely.
You need to have some kind of a serious camera (Like a Cannon or Olympus SLR type, no point-n-shoot) and if you are working indoors, proper lighting. I will no longer be going to shoots where the "Photographer" (read: dude with camera) wants to put me against a blank wall and use ambient room light. In my experience these shoots NEVER turn out well.
All photos must be at least 640x480 pixels in size. I prefer to have them about 1200 pixels or more on the long side, and the very best quality you camera can produce. I will do my own editing.
Please bear in mind that I am producing HUGE sets for submission. The pictures need to be ready to go, with only minimal cropping or light adjustment. It is not possible for me to photo-shop 300 pictures to correct some problem that could have been prevented by better planning. This would include weird or ugly things in the background, bits of hair standing up, funky coloring issues, etc. I need my photographers to work with me to prevent things like that.
This will be a little more challenging than some people are used to, I know. I am old-school and started modeling when we still used film, which was hideously expensive. I still have the PRINTS from my first session, and every one of them was usable. Therefore I know it can be done.
