Rules for shooting: In my studio, "No", means, "No". I call it the rule of mutual respect. If you tell me "No, I don't like that pose", I won't ask again. Be on time. Don't arrive under the influence or hung-over (get a good nights sleep the night before your session.) Escorts welcome but should stay out of the way.
Comprehensive portfolio packages available. Package includes retouched images along with a video set to music (royalty free). These packages will have your portfolio off the ground and being viewed in no time. (Contact us for details and rates.)
I do coaching for both photographers and models. For photographers, it is how to pose and direct models. For models, it is how to pose and behave in front of the camera. I enjoy teaching and I am a former college adjunct professor.
People who come to my studio are treated professionally and with the utmost respect.
We are proud to introduce our
Model Promotion Package. This is the most effective way to for models to advertise. You simply model, and we do the rest.
Option 1: Purchase our promotion package and we get your face out there. You negotiate the terms when potential clients contact you and you keep 100% of what you negotiate.
or
Option 2: Let us select to promote you. We negotiate the terms, and keep a percentage or collect a fee.
Both are win-win options.
