Hello there, my name is Chad McDermott and I am the senior photographer at Elite Image. I found a renewed interest in photography some time ago and I am enjoying the business. I am currently active in the commercial stock industry and I am particularly interested in people/product imagery - models who can enhance the appeal of a product or a service or a place (resorts, etc...) Therefore, my portfolio images and the images I will provide you are geared toward that end.

For all shoots:
1. I will require signed Model Releases (if you are represented by an agency, please tell me upon contact). If you are under 18 a parent/guardian must sign the Release AND accompanying you on the shoot;
2. I will provide TFCD (generally through a contact sheet - either emailed or immediately after on a laptop - where you may choose from 8-10 jpeg shots for your portfolio);
3. Images will be made available to advertisers and designers for sale through my online commercial stock galleries - if found in use I will make every effort to provide a professional-looking tearsheet to you;
4. I will consider small/reasonable travel expenses (less than $50) for those traveling long distances.
My Code-of-Conduct:
1. I respect your time and efforts by being on time, by being honest, and by acting professionally. I would expect the same in return.
2. Shoots are
Mutually Beneficial - meaning we both get something for our collaboration.
- I will provide quality/professional images as digital media for your use in portfolios and self-promotion.
- I make the images available for sale to designers and advertisers through my commercial online stock agencies.
3. I appreciate how hard you work as a model and how important a quality portfolio is to you, so I make every effort to provide tearsheets of our work together in use.
