Photography Offer....(please read)

[bonaire]

Aspiring semi professional photographer coming up to toronto...since I have a love of photography and beautiful women, I thought I'd toss this offer out.

In the photography world we have an acronym called TFP (much like you do here, lol), which stands for Time For Prints. An exchange of a model and her time for a photographer, his time, and either prints or a CD of high res digitial images, or both. Usage of images are covered in a limited model release form, only allowing both parties to use images for promotion only (usually website or printed modeling book)

So, why you say, would I post this here? Well, I would like new faces for my portfolio, and there are lots of beautiful women here with and without agencies. I'm thinking that there are several who would want new or better images for their personal or agency websites. I benefit for my own portfolio and continue my love of glamour, fashion, lingerie, swimwear and fine art photography. and....the offer is for male models/escorts as well. My bottom line here....hot images!

With all that said, my website is www.stuartphotography.com. All email from that website comes directly to me, and phone number is buried there for those who spend the time to look for it. I hope you like my work.

I can supply tons and tons of modeling references. I will be in the GTA Feb 6th -9th, with multiple cameras, lighting gear and backdrops. For the ballsy, I will shoot outdoors too. My girlfriend/assistant will be in attendance at all times, and is also a makeup artist. You are more than welcome to bring a chaperone for your comfort.

I'm guessing someone will flame me or this offer, but it is quite common in the photography industry (tfp). Not sure how common it is for a photographer to come to a forum like this though. Call me ballsy, or stupid, or...lol.....both.

Have a wonderful holiday!

TFP YMMV

Au contraire Bonaire. Your offer may not appeal to the narcissist in all of us, but it may appeal to the narcissist in some of us. I think this is a great spot for your post.

Nice shots

Nice pix Mr. S. good luck.

A couple of things I've thought about: The models shown in these pages are stunners. I've shot some like that and they are a joy.

But what do you do with ladies who are horizontally challenged, maybe a little older and not at ease in front of the camera? Some day I'd like to see a portfolio like that. And the answer isn't to get them made up to the nines and shoot them like a product. You end up with pix that look nothing like them. It may depict what they would like to look like.

An additional challenge is shooting SPs who don't want to show their faces.

This is not a criticism of Mr. Stuart. Just a philosophic question.

Anyway, Mr. S. welcome. It's time Santillo had some competition.

PS: I recommend you get in touch with Anya. She a joy to work with. Her URL:

photographic challenges.....

actually, its easier to shoot sp's that dont want to show their faces....part of the challenge ive had over the last year is lighting on the face....with an sp, they turn their head, you light up the hair nicely, and boom. done. everyone is happy. I'm thinking I can create some really amazing images, face or no face. I peeked at Diane's (sweet diane) website. She has some nice images, especially the low lighting ones. I think it would be nice to see more sp's and agencies have nicer images. I guess this is marketing, no?

Shooting older people and or people who are not in the greatest of shape is a matter of knowing which sides look best and under what lighting conditions. There's always light and shadow place if your not dealing with flat 'glamour' lighting. Puffy skin can be dealt with too, ala....believe it or not...hemmeroid creme under the eyes takes away those bags....tricks of the trade, as im sure some already might know of.

I try to get all my models professional makeup. When someone says ' i want no makeup, or a natural look', I know Im up for a challenge because they dont really know what their pics will wind up as. I like glamour makeup. Kevin Aucoin was my fav makeup artist.

Im glad some (or one? lol) of you looked at my website. As of this moment, no one has actually emailed me with interest. I hope someone does.

ps....i should say that im friendly with an SP up in GTA, and im doing her pictures 'pin up' style...ala Betty Paige. I will show you guys n gals afterwards!
