Below are my usual arrangements for TF. Everything in life of course is negotiable for the right shoot or the right person, but unless previously agreed otherwise, this is how I normally work on TF:-

  • TF is a collaboration. To me this does not mean that the photographer pays for travel, location hire, gives a donation towards clothes and make-up, can’t add a logo to an image or needs to give the model 200 edited images from a 1 hour shoot. Hopefully that sounds reasonable.

  • I will **NEVER WITHOUT EXCEPTION** give you all images from the shoot. Some will be crap, some badly lit, some out of focus, some solely for setting up the shot and some I just won’t like – In fact about 70% of them I will reject as soon as I get home. I have no idea why you would even want all the images from a shoot, but if you do, I am the wrong person to work with.

  • Unfortunately you can’t have the un-edited images from the shoot so you or someone else can edit them for you. If you don’t like how I have edited your shots, no you do not have my permission to re-edit or re-crop the finished images yourself or ask a friend to – please just get in touch with me and I am sure we can sort something out. A big part of my photography is how I decide to edit them. If you don’t like my editing style (and I appreciate its not everyone’s cup of tea) then maybe I am not the right photographer for you.

  • I will need you to sign a model release which can be read through here – Sample Model Release.

  • The amount of images we end up with after the shoot and editing is done can vary greatly. It will depend on the amount of time we spend shooting (not including travel, setting up, make-up, disruptions etc.) and of course on how the shoot goes. We could get half a dozen or just 1 – I prefer to go for quality rather than quantity.

  • It can take up to 2 weeks to get the finished images back to you. Finished shots can be posted to you on CD or uploaded to the web, whatever is easiest for you.

  • Copyright – please feel free to Google this for confirmation as unfortunately many photographers and models get confused about this. The photographer owns the copyright of the photograph irrelevant of who or what is in the photograph. The only exception to this is if the photographer takes the image as part of their normal employment – I am not employed to take photographs, so I own copyright to ALL of my images.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this. I hope this gives you an idea of how I arrange TF and hopefully there is nothing too un-reasonable.
