• Do not wear concealer, foundation, or other heavy makeup on
your skin when you come to be photographed. Some transluscent
powder to blot shine is fine if you like, as is eye or lip makeup,
but I prefer to be able to see and work with natural skin texture
in my work. If you have special concerns about that, talk to me.
If you want to shoot something in costume or makeup, let me know
in advance and we'll prepare time for you to do that at the start
of the session.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" SIZE="1">• Don't do anything to your body that you wouldn't do otherwise
(unless body adaptation is part of the project). If you don't
normally shave, don't hsave. If you wear your hair messy, don't
style it to death on my account.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" SIZE="1">• What I aim for in portrait work is the sensual, the authentic
and the natural, even if we're doing something fantastical. I
do shoot a lot of nude work, so we can shoot nudes if you like,
however these are YOUR photographs, so what you feel feels most
natural and comfortable for you is what I'm after. Even if you
want sensual or erotic portraiture, we can do that clothed or
semi-nude if that's what feels most comfortable and natural to
you. If you're not sure, don't worry: we can figure out what's
best for you as we go.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" SIZE="1">• If nudes are planned, remove any binding clothing a couple of
hours before the shoot to avoid strap marks. if you have body
image issues or special concerns in regards to a nude shoot, bring
that up during your consultation, and we'll get creative.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" SIZE="1">Some instances where I may not be the right photographer for you:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" SIZE="1">• If you're looking for very traditional "glamour" photos, very
mainstream "porny" work, or work that is very strongly posed.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" SIZE="1">• If you want a photographer to make you look very different than
you do -- thinner or taller, a different age, etc. If looking
"sexy" or "hot" has more importance than looking like you, or
letting me find what I see.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" SIZE="1">• If you're shooting in my own studio and have severe dog or cat
allergies. As well, if you have any severe disability which makes
stairs difficult or impossible, shooting in my studio will not
likely work, as you will need to climb three steep flights of
steps.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" SIZE="1">• If you expect a nude or sensual shoot to be in any way sexual
for me as the photographer: it usually is not.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial Rounded MT Bold" SIZE="1">• If being touched is problematic. Generally, during a shoot,
it's helpful for me to be able to -- with respect and request
-- move your face or body parts sometimes to deal with light and
shadow expediently.</FONT></P>
