TF Projects & What is TF Anyway?

If I approached you or made contact in some other way and asked if you'd like to do a photo shoot then consider it a TF shoot and it's FREE (see below). I can only shoot on weekends as I have a full time job during the week.

TF projects are projects that I'm currently interested in shooting. I do these shoots free and then edit and put ten of the best images on CD for the model. In turn the model usually signs a photo release that allows me to use some of the images on my web site. I only use photos which we agree can be used and the release is signed AFTER the shoot. If you see a project listed that you would like to do or you have an idea for a project let me know!

Who does these and why would I want sexy photos of myself?
I have photographed women of every age, size and walk of life. The Victorias Secret and Playboy style photos are very popular, many women give them as gifts to husbands, boy friends or other special persons.. They DO make great gifts.

Ok, I want to do some of these but I'm nervous
It's only natural, but on the other hand their is no reason to be, I have a lot of experience in making you feel comfortable. I do believe that bringing a friend helps the model relax as a matter fact I encourage it. Trust me, after 30 minutes of shooting you will feel completely at ease.

How long does the shoot take? You need to allow 3 to 4 hours for the shoot. What you say? Why so long? One reason is although I set up most of the lights before the shoot it still takes a few exposures to get everything right. Additionally I like to look at the photos as the shoot progresses.

Do I have to take my clothes off?
Of course not. I will have discussed your shoot with you before you show up and will already know what your comfort zone is and what style photos you are interested in.

Who's going to see my photos?
You and me unless YOU show them to someone else or you sign a release allowing me to use them for advertising.

What's the cost?
My typical glamour photo shoot runs $125.00 and includes the photo shoot, ten of your favorite images edited resized and put on CD and one 5x7 print of each of those ten images. Of course if it's a TF shoot it's free.

Who prints the photos?
I upload the photos via a secure internet connection to my professional photography lab in Iowa. Our systems are color calibrated and the photos are printed automatically. The only person that sees them is the quality control person that inspects them for color accuracy before shipping.

How old do I have to be?
I only shoot age appropriate photos. You must be 19 to do lingerie, implied nudes or nudes.

How long have you been doing this?
I have been a photographer for a very long time but started shooting glamour photos in 1999.

Do you have references?
Yes and can have someone I have shot with contact you if you like.
Here are a few comments from models I've worked with:

I LOVE THESE!!!!!!!!!! I can’t WAIT to see them all. You know I like them! Thanks BOB! You do GREAT

Hey!
I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE the pics. They turned out so good. My mother in law said to tell you "Good Golly Miss Molly" lol she hasnt even seen the rest but but she knows that one is her favorite. The one that you’ve got on your OMP is the best, that’s the one she’s talking about. Well, ne ways I’m gonna go, but you done a great job and I wanted to say thanx!!!

Thanks for replying and I want to go ahead and say that I have never felt more comfortable when reading an email from a photographer.  It was very honest and open and I really like that.  A lot of photographers I have talked to tend to beat around the bush and have me question what there real intention is.  I think it is awesome that you recommend someone tag along.  I talked to one photographer that had a BIG problem with me bringing anyone to meet him.  As long as it would be no cost to me then I don't care if I get paid for it or not.  I just want to shoot with as many photographers as I can so that I can feel more familiar in front of a camera plus I love to hear the different points of view from each.  I've taken a look at ur shots and I think that it would be fun to work with you.  You seem like a really nice person.  If anything I'd just need a cd of my shots or something like that.  That's all I asked from the gu! y in Ohio and he is using my pictures to try to win some photographer contest.  Just as long as I have a way of getting my own prints I'm not really concerned about the minor things.  Look forward to hearing back from you!

Hey Bob,
Thank you for everything. I haved a lot of fun working with you and I
appreciate you building the OMP site for me.  It looks great. 
Have a great week and thanks again.

WOW! It looks like maybe you've done a bit of editing / cropping? These pictures look great. I'm in love. I've showed Calvin and he really loves them. I cant wait to do some more. YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB ON THESE THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Amanda

The photos look great!  I actually prefer the dramatic edge and should work well for my portfolio. Thanks again, and I look forward to future work.

I appreciate you taking some one-on-one time with Felicia with advice that I know will help her as she really gets started in modeling.  You really impressed her mother.  She was very skeptical to begin with about Felicia getting into modeling.. afraid she would get in with the wrong crowd of photographers, if you know what I mean.  But you really eased her mind.  Thank you.

ya know what?  i was sooooo ready to go back to our hotel room sat nite but i am so glad that we waited for a while and then were able to shoot with you because i absolutely luv my a$$ picture by the white door, pretty kewl huh?  send me more I want to see all of them so i can let you know which ones i feel are gonna be best for your site.  i mean we're a team right?  so excited cant wait to see what other magic we made.
