Model Information

Using A Model
Shooting your work on a model has a lot of value, including all of the different angles and views possible as well as the sense of mood that a model helps convey.

Model Agency
I work with Taylor-Royall Casting, an absolutely terrific model agency! They have a tremendous selection of models from which to choose, and are very happy to take the size and feature information that you provide and produce the model to match. Note: Models are available in any size, but the greatest selection is found in the 6-8 size range.

Fees and Billing
All of the Taylor-Royall models are billed directly to you. Call David to discuss rates for your particular needs.

Film Use
Because of the nature of shooting with a model, I do not bracket exposures or shoot duplicate original images for the studio files. Thus, 36 exposure film yields 36 different images, less a few here and there for blinks and such (which happens remarkably infrequently with professional models!).

Make-Up and Hair
Models arrive in the studio ready to do their own make-up and hair. Once you (or I, if you are not present) have a look at them and decide on how things should be, they use the (new!) studio dressing room to get ready and into the first outfit as the lighting and background are set up.

Getting The Look You Want
Despite how models often look in photographs, I have found them to be very approachable and interested in giving YOU exactly what you want regarding pose and attitude and such. If you're coming into the studio for your shoot, expect to have a great time seeing your work 'come to life' on the model!Please feel free to write or call if you have any questions at all!
