T Skipper Photography

New art added 9/10/11

I am a freelance photographer currently working with Coastal Lifestyle Magazine as the new fashion photographer and Gulf Coast Bride as the cover photographer. I also work with musicians and entertainment professionals creating press kits, promotional material, and advertising.

Working With Me
For 2012 I am looking to shoot new people and new ideas. I will shoot some TF but not with everyone, so don't be offended if I don't wish to shoot you. You can ask and then we can go from there.

I DO NOT HIRE OR PAY MODELS, unless one of two things; 1) I have a client who is paying me, then I place the cost of models in my quote. 2) You are a model of high calibre. Which means that you are published on an ongoing basis in a KNOWN medium nationally or larger. A shot of you in a swimsuit or naked by a dude with a camera does not qualify.

All sessions require a model release, period. Images are useless without it. If you are working for me I grant rights to use the images in your portfolio only. They may not be sold, edited, loaned, or any other use than your personal promotion. If you are working with me on a paying assignment, this may become void based on the contract terms with the client.

I do not send CD's, you will download your images from a secure server on my site. Unless agreed to otherwise you will only be downloading web size images. If you need prints for a book you need to let me know ahead of time.

If you no show trade, paid, whatever you will not get another chance. I am professional and I expect the same. If you can't make it you need to call my phone number is here on this profile.

No Escorts:
I am no longer allowing escorts. If you need someone to bring you they can drop you off and go to the mall or watch a movie. I am not allowing escorts because 1) My studio is small so there is not enough room for you, me and your sulking escort. 2) I've been  photographing models since 2007, I've been working professionally since 2009 and full time for the last year. During all that time I have never raped, molested, beaten, shot, stabbed, or even attempted to force a model to do something she/he didn't want
