What is TFP?
TFP stands for "Time for Print" or "Time for Photos". It's an agreement between a photographer and a model where neither party pays the other. Instead, the photographer provides images to the model, and the model contributes their time and work for the photoshoot. All participants share expenses if needed. It's a way for both photographers and models to build their portfolios and gain experience without having to pay for services or be paid for them.
OBS! If you are interested in collaboration within makeup, hair, decoration, location, or anything else (excluding modelling), please send an email to info@dpmn.se
No! TFP means that no one will pay for each other's services, but you should expect either to be fully responsible or share the responsibility for clothes, makeup, location, and decoration.
The main point of TFP is that you are not my client; we collaborate and work as a team to achieve the results. We both have obligations and responsibilities towards each other. Depending on our goal, it could be either an extremely short photo session or a full-day adventure.
A TFP team can be very diverse and include a makeup artist, hair stylist, outfit stylist/designer, a unique location, decorator, nail technician, and anyone else who contributes, including assistants.
I contribute by providing my expertise, creativity, and technical equipment to create high-quality images. This includes planning and executing the photoshoot, providing guidance and direction to you and other team members, as well as editing and delivering final images afterwards. We can also use my photo studio for free.
You contribute by offering your appearance, expressions, and ability to pose in front of the camera to create desired images. The model can also contribute by selecting and providing clothes and accessories, collaborating with makeup artists and stylists to achieve the desired look, and being flexible and cooperative throughout the entire photoshoot process to ensure that the project's vision is fulfilled. The model's presence and commitment are crucial for achieving successful results in the collaboration.
Most are individual photo shoots with a creative or fashion-oriented style. Sometimes I also look for maternity models and couples.
Yes, you can apply for TFP modeling without prior experience. TFP collaborations are often open to individuals of varying levels of experience, including beginners. It's an opportunity for both photographers and models to gain experience, build portfolios, and collaborate creatively.
No, there are no rules regarding weight, height, or any other regulations. TFP is art, and I personally believe in everyone's beauty. I get different ideas, and all kinds of faces/bodies can work.
Unfortunately, no. Due to my workload, I only plan a few TFP photo sessions per month and cannot guarantee anything. Typically, I prepare the concept and look for a model whose appearance best fits the concept. However, you can always suggest your idea, as well as submit the mood board (you can attach files to the application).
We will discuss all the details and then sign a TFP agreement that will regulate responsibilities from each side.
All images from the TFP collaboration must, when posted on social media, be tagged with active links to all team members. Additionally, all participants must consent to recording backstage video footage that can be used by any member on their social media.
