LIMITED TFP/COLLABS AVAILABLE BOOK NOW
What is TFP Photography?
TFP usually stands for Trade For Print. A team—generally a photographer and a model (or models)—collaborates on a photography project. Everyone works for free, but they all receive the TFP shots to use in their portfolios. Hair stylists, makeup artists, and photography assistants can also take part in TFP photoshoots as well. The term Time For Print is also occasionally used.

What's a collab (i.e. a collaboration) anyway?
Simply put, it's when 2 or more people or a group of people trade their expertise in-kind. In the case of bloggers and photographers, it usually means one models in return for photos, and one photographs in return for modeling and styling.

- In order to secure your booking a "REFUNDABLE" deposit of $50 must be paid in order for me to take the booking serious. [This is not included in or a part of my time fee] This is a "good faith" deposit and it will be refunded upon you arrival, which means your placing collateral on your own behalf that you agree to:

- Any monies made from the publishing of my images are paid to the model and company of publishing as long as the license fee is paid.
- If the model does not want to pay the fee, any monies made from the publishing will be paid to the photographer and the publishing company.
