Modeling Photography | TFP Sessions
TFP (Trade for Photos) Sessions are all about collaboration and creativity! I see these sessions as an investment of our time, talent, and passion into something we love to do. You, as a Model, get amazing shots to add to your portfolio. As a photographer, I get to push my creative boundaries. It’s the perfect way to try new ideas, build our experience, and create stunning images together. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand your portfolio, let’s connect and create!
Upcoming TFP Sessions
Below are TFP Sessions that I have created, and I am currently seeking models for them. Each session will have a theme, some pics for reference, what I am looking for in a Model, and any other details I can share.
IMPORTANT!!!
These are collaborative sessions. Please do not hesitate to send me ideas for any of the sessions listed. And if you have something you would like to try for a shoot, let me know! I am 100% open to ideas. Just click the Register for TFP Session button and share your ideas.
The Shoots
Tattoo Shoot
Have ink? Wanting and willing to show it off? Great! Here are the details for this session:
- Dates: Now through October 25th
- Time: Open
- Location: Studio or Location
- Gender: Open
- Wardrobe: Whatever works best with the ink – see examples
- Props: Minimal to whatever the environment has for us
For this shoot, I am looking to emphasize your ink and incorporate dynamic and dramatic lighting into the shoot. Please flip through the images to get an idea of the ink coverage I am looking for.
Things to consider – pick up some tattoo food and moisturize for some time before the shoot!
Sand & Stone
There are so many amazing formations in and around Scottsdale. I am very open to location ideas and suggestions. Pictured are just a couple that I have in mind. Here are the primary details:
- Dates: Now through November 1st
- Time: Open
- Location: Locations TBD
- Gender: Open
- Wardrobe: I want to create a juxtaposition to the setting. Flowing dresses, formalwear, shear wraps, swimwear, and similar. Open to implied nude, body paint, costume, and similar. Let’s discuss the look.
- Props: None
For rock formations, I would like to shoot at daybreak or sunset—I prefer the sun setting over the sun rising. Sand/desert/cactus/water – anytime other than high noon – but that could be a look too.
Spyder Shoot!
No, not the 8-legged bug; my Can-Am Spyder – stock images are shown so you know what it looks like. For this shoot, I may wish to incorporate video, which means the model is driving the trike a bit, but this is not 100% necessary. I have a pretty specific look for this shoot. If it goes well and the chosen model and I work well together, this will lead to a series of shoots around the Scottsdale and Phoenix area; please keep that in mind. I will be happy to share more details on this once we connect. Shoot details:
- Dates: Open – looking for a model
- Time: Open
- Location: Locations TBD
- Gender: Female
- Wardrobe: Jeans, jacket, helmet (provided if needed), boots, leather, gloves, etc. We can expand on this, too.
- Props: The trike
If you Google for ideas on this, I want to avoid unrealistic shots – such as wearing a bikini. Sure, people skip safety occasionally, but let’s not endorse the idea. However, a shot could be taken as the jacket is being removed, revealing a swimsuit.
Upcoming Shoots
These are not on the books yet but are coming.
- Dates: These will hit the calendar before year’s end
- Downtown Dress: Exquisite dress, busy streets
- Poolside: Before the cold really starts to set in – likely an evening shoot where we will play with lighting
- Painting with Light: Evening to late-night shoot if outdoors. Anytime if in studio
- Record Store or Book Store: This one is gonna be fun!
