F.A.Q's Page
Does the shoot take place at a studio?
Will you pay my travel expenses?
How many photographs will I get for my portfolio?
Why do I have to sign a model release?
Do I need a portfolio?
What does T.F.P stand for?
Yes. This will show photographers and clients what you look like on film, how you move and how you pose. A portfolio of shots from several shoots will show a wide variety of looks and different styles.
Time for prints. This is where you give your time in exchange for a selection of prints or digital images to add to your portfolio.How old do I have to be?
18+ but there is no upper age limit! Most publications in the glamour industry will now only publish pictures of girls who are over 18. They also require proof of this so YOU MUST BRING A PHOTO ID in the form of a photo driving license or passport to the shoot
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes .. of course. Chaperones are very welcome to accompany you. We often suggest a female friend as the best choice but boyfriends/partners are welcome as long as they are supportive of you. If you haven't any one to bring along we can always arrange another female model to be there.Does the shoot take place at a studio?
Yes, we have a fully equipped studio with separate changing facilities.Where are you based?
In Norfolk 12 miles North of Norwich. It's a bit 'out in the wilds' but if you are traveling by train or bus we can arrange transport from Norwich station.Will you pay my travel expenses?
Not for a test shoot but on paid work yes and, when you have gained experience, on TFP shoots.How long will a shoot last?
The minimum time is 4 hours but ideally we like to start at 10am and finish at 4pm. This allows plenty of time to go through things with you and work in a relaxed, unhurried, manner.How many photographs will I get for my portfolio?
It depends how hard you work and how good you are! Generally a test shoot produces 20-40 cracking pictures but you may get 100+ on your CD as these are good for showing how you move and pose. Look at each critically. How could the pose and expression be improved; which angles do you look good from.... and which not so good.Why do I have to sign a model release?
We are professional photographers. If you paid for a portfolio it would cost you between £250 and £450. We recoup this money (hopefully) by selling the pictures and we can only do this with a model release.Will it cost me anything?
NO. The test shoots and CD of pictures are done on a TFP basis so are FREE as long as you sign a model release. If you want specific pictures or styles of pictures or want prints from the pictures then we will charge for these at a discount models rate; but that's completely up to you.Will I be safe?
