Shooting Rules
- I do not do nude or full-body �high� glamour work with models under 18. No exceptions. I will require a copy of your driver�s license or other proof of age before beginning any nude or glamour shoot.
- I encourage chaperones and helpers whether or not the shoot involves nudity. However, they are required to be quiet and respectful while the shoot is going on.
- Models must sign releases. No exceptions.
- Everybody�s cell phone/pager must be turned off during the shoot. (That includes me.) If you absolutely must have it on, taking a call for more than three minutes, or taking more than two calls during a shoot, will result in the shoot immediately ending.
- I do not give out full-session RAW or untouched image files. No exceptions. If you want to do your own retouching, individual source images may be available on an as-negotiated basis.
- I love glitter makeup too, really I do. However, I won't take pictures of a model wearing it. It gets all over everything and under studio lighting it makes you look like you have radioactive pimples. If you show up wearing it you will be asked to remove it. If you put any on before or during the shoot, you will be sent back to makeup. No exceptions.
- If you�re a beginning model, I will be pleased to advise you on what sort of basic pictures you might want in your portfolio. However, if you plan ahead, you can consider specialty pictures for the sort of fields you want to specialize in.
- I highly recommend makeup artists for all modeling work: I can arrange for one or two MUA's to be at the photoshoot. There are many that do this work on a TFP basis to build resumes. They will also have rights to add pictures they've participated in to their portfolios. Ricci Talent does not receive any commissions or referral fees of any sort. Models are encouraged to get one, even if it�s just a friend who can help you. If you�ve never done makeup for photography before, be aware that a somewhat heavier makeup than you might wear casually is often appropriate.
- Unless otherwise agreed upon, I do not provide wardrobe. Bring your own, as much as you reasonably expect to use. Private changing areas are provided, and wraps for walking between the changing room and the set.
- There is a convenience store a block from my location and I will provide refreshments for most shoots. If you like a particular sort of refreshment, feel free to bring some along, or let me know and I will make reasonable provisions. For professional reasons alcohol is not allowed in my location.
- Address and transport information is provided when bookings are confirmed. My location is easy to find and accessible from public transportation.
- You are welcome to bring music to play during the shoot. I can also provide a wide variety of music on request.
- Although I don�t do exclusively nude photography, if you are considering nude or semi-nude work and don�t know how to describe what you want, you may find this list of definitions handy:Types of Nudity
