Time for Prints [TFP] - Time for CD [TFCD]
Time For Prints/CD or "TFP/TFCD" are terms used to describe a trade between a model and a photographer. The model poses for the photographer and in return she receives prints and/or images to use in her portfolio. This is a great way to start or add to your portfolio if you do not want to pay hundreds of dollars to have prints shot. The drawback is that the photographer is often looking to shoot what he wants not necessarily what you want in your portfolio. I try to work with models to make sure that they will receive some solid images of a style they prefer for their portfolio. I will discuss your limitations ahead of time and will make those part of our agreement. A photo release form is required that will spell out the agreed terms of the shoot.

Time for Prints/CD is considered an actual paid modeling assignment. This can be one of the highest paying assignments some of you may ever get. The cost to get such a shoot done would start at about $500 and could go much higher. You may achieve that with only 2 or 3 hours of modeling time for a rate of $175 per hour or more!! In exchange you will be required to sign a release allowing the photographer to use the images for his promotion and other business projects.

TFP is a good way for a model to reduce the cost of building her portfolio. I use these shoots to test a model's fitness for possible future paid projects. When given the choice of models in my paid projects, I only use models I have tested.

My standard offer is a CD of internet sized files of all acceptable images taken plus two (2) 8"x10" prints of images of the model's choice. I send the CD a within two weeks after the shoot and you can use it to select the images for your prints. This offer is negotiable with experienced models.

I am very selective about who I am willing to do TFP shoots with. Unless referred to me by a legitimage industry professional I do not offer TFP to models under the Age of 18. For my consideration You must be of slender build with a well proportioned figure and you must be comfortable doing lingerie and Maxim style glamour images.
