FOR THE MODELS
Here is a little something just for the models. I work with a lot of professional models and you know what I also work with my share of new up and coming models as well. This industry can be a lot of fun and I wish you all the success you can get. Keep a positive state of mind and go for it. Putting out positive thoughts always leads to positive results.
CASTING CALLS
I’ve always have a creative project on the go. Feel free to touch base with me to ask if I have any projects I could use you in. When I put out a casting call for a project or a photo trip I usually make an announcement on my blog and social media. Follow me there to get notifications on upcoming opportunities. Below is a link to the casting calls on my blog.

MY TF POLICY
Yes I do shoot TF but on a very limited basis mostly just to work on creative projects. If I do shoot for free IT HAS TO BE something I really want to shoot and something that will strengthen both our portfolios. I've also traded TF shots for access to really cool locations and magazine publications. That being said, If you have an interesting idea you want to shoot with me TF, send me a message via the contact page and we'll talk. I give six free edited images with each TF shoot unless otherwise agreed upon.
MAGAZINE SUBMISSION SHOOT POLICY
Unfortunately the glamour magazine industry has changed over the last few years and it’s hard to find magazines that will actually pay for content. Now with that being said, it’s still fun to shoot for publication and get some cool tearsheets to show off. I often work with magazines directly to produce content for publication. So if we do shoot content for publication there are a few things you should know.
After our shoot I will setup a proof gallery and shop the images around looking for a magazine to get them published in.
I understand that some models have an image to uphold and I can totally respect that. If requested I will allow you help me cull the submission collection down so that only content which is approved by both of us is submitted for publication.
I know this isn't a popular policy but I DO NOT give model(s) edited photos from the submission shoot until the photos are published. I know you don't want to wait but there is a reason for this. A lot of models can’t stop themselves from posting edited pictures online before the magazine publishes the photos. This of course makes the magazine mad and on top of that it makes me look bad. So as a policy I only give models their edited photos AFTER the magazine publishes the images.
Please understand that I do not have a say in when a magazine will choose to publish photos. It's usually within 3 to 4 months of submission, however, it can also be as long as a year. But don't despair, you will get the edited photos once they are published and a really cool tearsheet too.
Magazines usually want 6 to 8 edited photos for a submission. If the model(s) would like additional edited photos beyond those submitted for publication I can provide additional edited photos at $20 per additional edit.
If I can't find a magazine to publish the images i'll treat the shoot as if it was a TF shoot and give you 6 edited photos of your choice unless photos have already been edited.
Unless otherwise discussed with the model(s) the above policies will take affect for all magazine submission shoots.
