--Currently accepting very few selective TFCDs. Model will recieve 2 fully edited images from shoot. 10+ will be chosen from the shoot, edited, and put into it's own gallery. From there you will have an opportunity to look the rest over. If you decide you would like any more in addition to the two you receive from the TFCD then each additional image will be $25. If you decide you would like to purchase all of the images from the shoot then I will reduce the price of the images and you may have them all at a smaller rate.--
My husband looked at me the other day, his eyes crinkled and sparkling blue. He said, "I love you more and more everyday." I threw my arms around his neck like I was 14 years old and we laughed and laughed and laughed.
It's been a crazy time since I joined Model Mayhem. Some good, plenty not so good. I've had time to figure out the in's and out's of this site and my observations have only solidified over the months.
Most people want something for nothing. In a world where the photographer is the driving force behind the shoot, somewhere something got twisted. Suddenly the MUA's, the models, the graphic artists, etc. are breaking away pieces of the shoot to burn their names into it with smoking fingers, grasping for credit when the piece as a whole should stand alone in the name of art. People are demanding to get paid for a career that they've been invested in for a month or two, their portfolio the proud bearer of no less and no more than maybe three photoshoots. Where's the product? Where's the glamour? Where's the passion? These lovely people with their dedication of a few weeks suddenly believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have instantaneously become professionals and succeed in growing an arrogance beyond comprehension. I feel the rise of choking anger, the need to fight for the little guys (the photographers) in this. Beyond all that is mundane and trivial, past the loss of our visions, around the corner of this twisted center of a modeling website, lies a place where you can take back what made you as a photographer. It's called Copyright Law. It's a beautiful thing. It reminds us of the power that we hold in our hands as we point and press and release that shutter.
This is our business, our livelihood...this is how we feed our families. Support your photographer and show your professionalism by taking the time to offer an alternative to these "Give Me Everything for Nothing" TFCDs!
I do not shoot nudes. I'm not interested in them.
I have a confidence in myself and in what I create. I know that I will work myself into a frenzy to deliver the best that I can to my models. With that said, I want my models to know that in the two hours that we shoot, I am striving to create something unique to their portfolio. In the 48 hours of post editing, I am eating, breathing, NOT sleeping, and living on the Post Editing Table for YOU. Period.
Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
