TFP Expectations

I love shooting TFP (Trade for Photos) collaborations, but I do want to set a few expectations before committing.

TFP is a phenomenal way for both models and photographers to grow. It’s mutually beneficial—whether you’re looking to build a portfolio, experiment with new concepts, or work toward creating paid opportunities. My approach to TFP might be a little different than others, so here’s what you can expect from me:
 

• Guaranteed Photos: Every model will receive a minimum of 5 fully edited images. That said, I usually deliver more—if I love 10 shots, you get 10; if I love 50, you get 50.

​

• Delivery Timeline: Photos are delivered within one month unless otherwise discussed.

​

• Editing Rights: While models won’t have editing rights, I offer unlimited free edit requests that I personally complete.

​

• Usage Rules: Photos are for portfolio and personal use only. They cannot be used in competitions, OnlyFans, or for monetary gain without prior discussion and agreement (this rule applies to both myself and the model). OnlyFans or Commercial Licenses can be arranged.

​

• Age Requirements: For obvious reasons, all TFP Collaboration Models must be of the age 18 or older.

​

• Raw Images: I do not hand out raw images for TFP shoots.​

I put the same level of effort into TFP shoots as I do with paid work, which means they are a significant time investment. Because of that, I usually select projects that are either on my current TFP list or are creative enough to help me grow. If your idea excites me, I’m happy to collaborate—but it needs to be mutually beneficial and enjoyable for both of us.

Costs:
 

• Each person is responsible for their own costs (wardrobe, props, travel, etc.).

  • For my TFP shoots, I generally have client's closet items and props. etc that will be available for free!​

​

• If a location for one of my TFP shoots has a fee, the cost will be split evenly among all participants (including myself).

  • ​In some cases, if I specifically request a TFP shoot, I may cover location fees.

​

• If you are requesting a TFP shoot with me that I have not listed (or approached you about), the general rule is that I will not cover any project costs—you’ll be responsible for them, while I donate my time, expertise, and equipment. There are some exemptions to this, and I handle them case by case.
   

TFP Requests (outside of my pre-arranged collaborations):

​

If you are requesting a TFP shoot, please come to me with a plan. The plan should include the following at a minimum:
 

• Where you plan to shoot.

• Reference photos if possible (Pinterest Board, Character names, examples, etc).

• What you currently have for your wardrobe.

• Plans for Make-Up/Hair (If applicable).

• Costs that may be expected of me.

​

Special Exemptions to my TFP Expectations:​​

 

1. Veterans, First Responders, and Related:

 

I make special exceptions to my TFP collaborations if you are an Armed Services Member (Veterans included), or a First Responder (Fire, EMS, LEO, Dispatcher, etc). Additionally, I make special exceptions for service-related family members and related crisis survivors (Widowed, Divorce, etc). Please reach out to me for more information.

​

2. Modelling Agencies:

​

I am happy and work well (and have worked) with several agencies. I understand certain agencies require exceptions to some of the terms listed above. Let me know who you work with, and I will work with you to see if we can get the TFPs done!

 

3. Return Client/Trusted Referal Client:

If we have a history of working together or you are a client of a peer of mine I am happy to afford special exemptions to the expectations posted above. Some may think this is unfair, but the oppertunity is available for everyone! Once we have an established relationship I am more than happy to take additional work on, make additional purchases, and build some awesome content with you.
