Welcome!
âIt is one thing to photograph people. It is yet another to make others care about them by revealing their humanness.â Quote by Paul Strand
My name is Tony Chan and I would like to welcome all visitors to view my site. Photography is a passion for me and with everyone who comes through my door I try to give them the best photo that they have ever had. I love to capture that special moment when a model smiles, laughs, even gives me âthe glare!â I deeply care how my photos look and I do spend an enormous amount of time making sure that every detail is taken care of.
I shoot bold and colorful. I also love the black and white classic look. What I can do is guarantee you that you will not be disappointed in anyway.
Portraits, Fashion, Editorial, Glamour, Lifestyle, Commercial, Casual, Parts, Fitness, Lingerie, Swimsuit, Implied, Artistic Nude/ these are ideas that interest me. My rates are reasonable and are as follows;
One sitting â¦.. one outfit with at least four photo variations - $150
One sitting â¦.. three outfits with of course more photo variations - $250
One sitting â¦..four or more outfit changes and you will be thrilled by the variety of photos that you will receive - $350 ( I classify this as a portfolio makeover for someone who feels that they need to change their style and want more variety)
⢠I never give out raw images. I take great pride in my work and the only photos that leave my hands are perfectly finished.
⢠I will still do TFCD if the concept interests me or if I contact you!! Do not be afraid to e-mail me with ideas as I love to collaborate with people. I also like to meet new people and network so I always accept friendships but I do ask that you take the time to say something.
⢠I would very much appreciate a phone call one hour before the shoot is to start. This gives me time to set up my studio and make sure that everything is prepared for your arrival.
⢠Unhappily, I must say that if you make arrangements to have a photo shoot with me and you do not show up and do nothing in the way of contacting me, it will not be possible for me to work with you. Professional people phone ahead, make arrangements, keep their commitments and we are all professional people. At least, the ones that I would like to work with. My time is valuable and there are other people that could use that time.
Why am I here?:
I am a photographer at heart â I shoot because I love to.
I'm here for paid work, but also to TF and build a strong portfolio and to meet with interesting people and network.
Photoshop:
I wish I was better at Photoshop, and hopefully I am getting better all the time. I do my own retouching and will rarely let anyone else retouch my pictures.
References:
Feel free to contact any one Iâve shot with (see models in friends list or portfolio) for a reference.
Safety:
Although I don't object to escorts, I strongly suggest your companion be a
platonic non-relative who is willing to assist with the shoot.
Working together:
If we decide we want to work together, Iâll give you my phone number, email and studio address. (Donât ask for directions...use Google Maps like a normal Internet person.)
;-)
If we shoot you will get an edited selection of usually around 10% of the pictures we shoot (I shoot a lotâ¦.). Of these I will retouch a few.
What I shoot:
I shoot almost everything. I love to travel, do documentary stuff, studio work, locationâ¦
I love to work with dancers, gymnasts and anyone who knows how to move and how to pose. I would appreciate that you have more than one facial expression....
If you want to do classical or abstract nudes I am always interested.
Friend requests:
I am not a mind reader - if you want to work with me, message me!
I will always answer.
If you like my work please tag me, leave a comment or list me.
Best,
Tony Chan
