Q. what does TFCD stand for?
A. Time For C.D. Basically an existing or aspiring model will do a shoot with a photographer for free, giving her “Time” in exchange for images from the shoot on CD for them to use in their portfolio.
Q. What will a shoot like this cost me?
A. Nothing if you’re shooting on location (except perhaps entry fees or parking if you want the shoot somewhere specific).
If you want studio shots, the photographer may charge the model a small fee just to cover the cost of hiring the studio if they don’t have their own.
And we mean proper studio, not a small background in the photographer’s spare bedroom at home!
We like to use The Photo Studio in Saffron Walden http://www.photo-studio.co.uk
This is a great place. 2500 sq. feet of space, Sets & backgrounds (well over two dozen) from living rooms, bedrooms to offices, a barn, dungeon, workshop, etc, etc.
It comes complete with professional Bowens lights, Wind machine and accessories. They have a kitchen for drinks, etc, makeup area and even a wardrobe with loads of different outfits for you to use (although still bring some of your own).
The downside is that the studio costs. The upside is that for TFCD we split the cost with you 50/50. The studio costs £88 for four hours and the price includes use of all the equipment, all the different areas/sets, clothes and tea & coffee, etc.
We think for £44 (what it would cost you, we'll pay the other £44) this is an excellent place.
Most photographers these days tend to hire a studio rather than buy their own due to the massive overheads of running a studio. In this current economy this is a wise idea and also means the photographer is not tied down to one location.
Q. Who are TFCD Shoots for?
A. These shoots are only for models or aspiring models. (note: because these shoots are for models some implied nude or nude shots may be taken depending on the type of modelling you are trying to get into. Nudes/Implied nudes are tastefully done. Nothing "adult").
Q. How long will the shoot take?
A. Depends on the photographer. With Campbell Photographic our TFCD shoots usually take all day. We try to go through several outfit changes, make-up and hair changes and also several location changes (indoor shots, studio shots and outside locations) to give you the best choice of images and experience different styles of shoots.
But basically this will all depend on what the model has agreed with their chosen photographer.
Many photographers will only offer TFCD for an hour or two, do some quick boring studio shots and then start pushing the model for expensive photoshoots for “Proper” portfolio images.
We suggest avoiding photographers like that.
Below are a few photos taken at one of our recent TFCD shoots.
