The Foremost Requirement:

A Professional Portfolio with A Professional Presentation

Today we are not dependent on ink-jet or laser quality prints, but we now have the latest digital print technology where we get prints on real photographic paper, which is water proof and durable.

In the picture composite at the top, you see the professional presentation that I give for the price mentioned under. I receive pictures from many models who are very keen to work with me, but unfortunately the pictures they send through the Internet are very heavy files. No one likes to receive heavy files of 3 MB to 4 MB as such files drain the system. As a principle I ignore such images. I have called back some models and the feed back was that they did not know the right file size for Internet use. I am sure they must be missing on some assignments. I know many people are not good at it. I make life easy for models by giving all images and composites in the correct size for Internet use. They are all in one single folder for Web usage on a Cd. The Cd contains besides the web images, all the composite created for printing. So one needs to carry this Cd for Internet usage and printing extra hard copies. The pictures supplied are on photographic paper.

• Please note that quite a number of frames are shot when photographing people. So if some asks you to submit three or four pictures, be assured these are selected from many frames. The reason being to get the right look, expressions and matching pose many frames are shot as each sitter reacts differently before the camera. Some are shy, some are very conscious, some are nervous but very few are natural and so the many frames a photographer has to shoot to be able to choose the right picture from a series.

• * Please note the time limit of portfolio shoot will be of four hours duration including make-up and styling. *
  ** 5 looks will be shot within the limit of 4 hours including makeup and styling. Arriving late to the appointment will cut down on the number of looks and image frames. Those who adapt quickly to the studio environment and give right poses and expressions may benefit with some extra looks being photographed in the same session.**
  
• ++ Conventional 35mm film to be shot at extra cost, subject to a time limit of 4 hours including make-up and styling.
• *** Confirmation of the portfolio shoot on receipt of 60% advance payment only and balance payment at the start of the shoot. ***
