J Cofer Photography

**********   Now the "money talk"    **********

-I do not pay models, unless I request a booking with you, or working with you would significantly enhance my port.  Otherwise, my rates are fair and competitive and depend on the location and duration of the shoot as well as any "extras" (prints, albums, photo books, etc.) that the model desires.

-TF* Will only be considered in mutually beneficial circumstances unless I contact you or we have worked together before; otherwise we will work out a fair and reasonable rate based upon my rates and your own (if applicable). However, if you want to do a TF* and can't afford to pay my rates message me anyways... you never know unless you ask! Just shoot me an email with your request/ideas and we'll go from there!

-Regardless of the rate, every model (including TF* when applicable) will recieve a CD containing all unedited images "as shot" immediately at the conclusion of the photo shoot.  From this CD, the model may choose up to 10 images, which I will then edit and deliver electronically to the model within ten (10) business days of receiving the model's selections. 

-I reserve 4 TF* time slots every month for new and aspiring models, so if you cannot afford to pay for a shoot, we still may be able to work something out!  I charge only to cover my business costs... but the real point is the delight of creating art!

******** Here's what to expect regarding your images! ********

-In order to view and download their finished and edited selections, each model will have access to their own private, personalized mini-site on the main J. Cofer Photography website.  Through this mini-site the model can view and download any or all of their images as many times as they wish.  These individual mini-sites will be available for 30 days after I notify the model that their selections are finished.

- For paid shoots, the model's downloadable images on the minisite will be provided in two sizes; a high-resolution web-ready size (for posting on MM and the like) and a high-resolution print-ready color profiled version for the production of photographic prints.

- For TF* shoots (unless agreed upon earlier), only the high resolution web-ready image versions will be provided.

*********** Policy on escorts ***********

Bring anyone you wish... nothing like having extra hands to carry the gear! j/k   But seriously:

The most important thing is your comfort and safety, so that you can concentrate fully on the creative process.  My wife accompanies me to almost every shoot, so another female will likely be present. 

That being said, feel free to bring an escort if you so desire; you need not ask!  As long as they do not impede the shoot you may bring whomever you wish.  However I do have some suggestions regarding escorts:

-If you have a best girlfriend, they make the best escorts since they will also want you to look your best, and usually have a great time at the shoot!

-Male friends are absolutely fine as escorts as well, but not boyfriends!  If you have no other choice but to bring a boyfriend then that is fine, but usually is not conducive to a good shoot (unless he is in the industry!)


As far as references are concerned, feel free to message any of the models I have worked with here on MM (they are all listed in my credits below), all would be happy to discuss their experiences with me as their photographer!
