StudioLumina

After years of photographing weddings and location bridal portraits almost exclusively, I'm adding studio work to my services and changing my focus to glamor and fantasy.  It will be a tough transition, and I need to totally revamp my portfolio.  I am actively seeking beautiful models to work on our mutual portfolios.  I'll do virtually any model TF and will provide the models with a CD of the session immediately afterward so the model can select a few for editing and use in his or her portfolio.  Sessions can be in-studio or on-location here (I have found some really cool places nearby) or I can travel (within reason) for the right opportunity.

I will require a release for any of the images from these shoots.  The release forms will differ based upon financial considerations:  If a shoot is TF, the release will prohibit sales of the images by either party.  If I pay for a model's services, I will reserve the right to sell the images, but the model will not get this right.  If a model pays me, I will not receive any rights to sell or publish except in my own portfolio, and the model will receive the right to use the image as he or she sees fit.   Regardless of the arrangement, I will retain copyright to all the images.

I will work with minors, but their parents or legal guardians must be on the set for the shoot.   Escorts may accompany models, provided they do not interfere with the creative process in any way.

I have specific needs for the studio portfolio, but I recognize that models also have specific needs.  My objective for each shoot is that each of us come away with images that help us reach our own goals.

I'm fun to work with, or so I'm told, and I am always punctual when a shoot is scheduled.  Diversity in my own portfolio is essential, so I will work with ANY model, regardless of race, gender, appearance, size or weight.

I do have a small wardrobe, but I encourage models to bring their own as well.  I do not currently have a makeup artist or hair stylist that can be available, so models who can do their own will get a big gold star.

The studio is available for shooting virtually 24/7, and is also available for rent by the hour.  Lighting will be included in the rental fee, which must be paid in advance.  For details, please feel free to PM me.
