I
do know from my mail box that some of you are quite keen, but
worried about taking the plunge. So on this page I explain how
it works and what to expect.
How model charges work are the
first concern many of you have and what the different styles mean.
OK the first obvious one is
Topless. Next is figure nude. The model will model to nude, but
without showing anything. So you have the clean lines without
thong straps, bra etc., but the model will have her legs
crossed, or turned away from the camera. UK magazine is as you
will find in gentlemen's top shelf magazines. Penthouse, Mayfair
etc.
Next comes US Magazine. The model poses to open leg, but also
spreads to "pink" is the expression. Then there is Continental.
The model will pose as US, but also uses "toys" and
fingers. If you book a model for 2 hours for US magazine then
it is 2 hours. Not one hour topless and one at US. All models
charge extra for a model release although the amount is usually
negotiable. Unless you are sure you will be selling your work
I suggest a model release is an extra expense. If you want to
publish the pictures on your own personal website only, then talk
to us.
These days there are also GG
which is Girl Girl and BG which is Boy Girl. Charges up to continental
depend on the model so it is best to phone, or email.
I am always happy to help set
up the lights and help with your camera if needed. If not I am
happy to let you into the studio and leave you to it. Coffee,
Tea and water available all the time. :-)
We
also provide group evenings where up to 4 photographers work together
with a model for a two hour session. This does include instruction
by me so this is an ideal opportunity to take pictures and practice
directing a model.
If
you are nervous there is no need to be as we are a very friendly
crew and all the models are understanding and sympathetic to mistakes
and nerves.
If
you feel you want to know a little more about glamour before taking
the plunge then try the course here.
