TBerling Photography

I have studio space in Cleveland where I enjoy shooting both in a studio as well as outdoors.  My goal is to always have a fun, energetic, relaxed, and professional session.  The professional part includes reading and answering emails and a quick phone call before we shoot as part of the screening process to make sure a model will show.  Also, I will tend to be more detail oriented on the front end than most photographers before a shoot where I like to have the picture in my head before picking up the camera.

Friends List - I like to keep the friends list to those people I have, want to or will be working with at some point in time and is what I like to try and use for my bookings.  So read emails and no response usually means I drop people as I assume that means you are not interested in working together.   

I always enjoy doing tf sessions and lately this is all I am doing.  To me the camera is a stress reliever/hobby.  With that said, if you want a tf session just ask and here are my normal terms right up front.

1.)  I usually shoot on Sundays.  Also, with my work schedule I can now occasionally shoot Friday during the day.

2.)  I will shoot almost any style if it INTERESTS me where I think I will get shots for my port.  I don't require skin even though there is a lot of it in my port and lists but when shooting any level of skin the model will always be allowed to review those images before the session ends.

3.)  I will always ask for a commercial model release signed before a session starts.

4.)  Generally, I will do around 8 - 10 edits for a session depending on what we get from the shoot.  I give out websized/watermarked shots only for tf shoots.

5.)  Send a message and not a tag and that way I know you read this page.

6.)  If it is already a shot on my port I probably will not want to shoot it again.

7.)  Looking through my lists down below and sending me a couple shots from those lists (Or shots from your own lists with ideas) that you like and we can pull off a version of as part of our session is a good way to get a shoot out of me.  I like models with input.

8.)  Escorts?  Am I bringing one?  (No I am not before somebody asks)  Is the escort providing some value to the shoot like working Hair/Makeup? (If so, than yes they can come.)  If you tell me that you need somebody there for support/security to sit on a couch and watch you or watch me I am going to say no.  Feel free to ask to meet before a shoot to screen me or contact anybody in my top 12 or on my entire port as a reference.

9.)  Yes, I like a model who reads and cares about what she is doing in front of the camera where I will assume everything on this profile has been read if we are going to work together.
