FAQs

I've tried to think up some questions that you might like to ask. I will add any that I am asked later.

How much do you charge or do I get paid?

It all depends, there are a number of 'types' of photo shoot.

	To add to your portfolio - generally at cost and we agree to split any fees earned 50/50
	Special Commissions - by arrangement
	Hired model - You can earn around £40 per hour but the copyright of the photos is mine!!

Do you have a studio?

	No, not at the moment but that can make things easier as I can often hire one in your area. If it's your first shoot you may be more comfortable in your own home and you have access to all your clothes etc.
	I do require a deposit if we arrange a shoot in a studio. The studio will charge me if we cancel!!

How old do I have to be?

You need to be over 18 for any work involving nudity. I will not put any images of models under 18 - however dressed - on this site without written permission. Proof of age is always required.

Do I need to be size zero?

Please, NO. size zero models are used for clothes so that you see the clothes and not the woman. A nude has to rely on her shape to enhance the images. My 'perfect' model would be wide hipped, unshaven pubic hair and natural breasts - but there's nothing wrong with being size 20!!

What's the difference between 'artistic nude', glamour etc?

This is a fairly difficult question to answer. Some people would say that anything showing flesh is pornographic (I don't). My definitions are as follows:-

	Artistic Nude - Similar poses to those you might see in a gallery.
	Lifestyle nude - Just like a holiday snap - but naked
	Sensuous Nude - Very similar to artistic but with a 'hint' of something else - often not completely nude.
	Glamour - These are intended to stimulate someone sensually but not blatantly.
	Pornographic - Similar to Glamour but leave nothing to the imagination!!

Hope that helps

If I do a shoot do I have to do nude?

No, if you aren't comfortable the pictures will look awful. Having said that it can help boost your confidence when you see a beautiful image that isn't polluted with clothing!
