Models
When you shoot with me you'll be in a SAFE environment. You are welcome and encouraged to bring someone with you. You'll be in a NO JUDGEMENT ZONE no matter what your experience level.
For underage models, I require at least one parent/guardian (not a friend) attend our shoot. I treat every model exactly the same regardless of their age.
I expect your participation in the creative process. I want to hear your ideas for concepts, poses, expressions etc.
I like to shoot 3-4 unique looks and always have a make-up artist on set. My shoots generally last 4 hours. The first 1.5 hours you'll be getting your hair/makeup done. Then, I shoot each look for about 20-30 minutes. At the end, I put ALL the images on the big screen TV for you to review and select the ones you like best.
For model's I've not worked with before, I like to meet at a Starbucks to plan our shoot. When we meet, we'll pick a date for the shoot. We'll discuss the vibe, location, makeup, wardrobe, accessories. We'll also start looking at mood boards. Eventually all this information will end up on my Online Call Sheet. I'll send you a link to the call sheet so it's always on your phone.
I shoot about 80 sessions a year. Following are the keys to a great shoot.
