Safe Shoot

SAFE SHOOTS

We have agreed to shoot. What now?

Your Security

The shoot can be fun and exciting but it is never uncomfortable. Key policy is, natural social distancing and plenty of communication.

Agreements

Once we have a concept and have met for the shoot; we start by signing a Model Release that outlines exactly how we will treat the photos from the shoot. Usually the agreement is all images are private unless agreed otherwise.

Boyfriends, friends and agents are welcome especially if they make you more relaxed and can help.

There is no pressure and if you get cold feet, are not in the mood on the day or fall out of love with the concept we can adapt or wind up.

Payment

Some of the models you see were paid for the shoots. If you like the images you see but need payment to cover time, contact us to discuss.

Payment is on the day and never less than agreed unless the shoot is called off or cut short by you.

Gear and Makeup.

Some of your gear and some of mine usually works. We like to set things up as a fashion shoot and explore ideas from there.

If we are shooting with a make-up artist they will be there otherwise you can get ready at the studio or before

After Shoot

You will get a contact sheet of all your photos, by email or dropbox, to review and decide on favourites and any that are public.

Final Photos

Once we know your favourites I’ll edit them to bring out our best and send them to you on dropbox.

We love Shy and Wish-I-Could-do-that Models

We are all a little ugly some days, rough on the edges other and sometimes accident prone. We have even had a model attacked by her ferret the night before. It is okay, almost anything can be fixed in photoshop so don’t think you have to be perfect.

We also deal with shy or very private models; including first times, burlesque-fringe-stars and secret exhibitionists.

We have masks, sunglasses and plenty of discrete poses. We love getting shots you didn’t know you could create.

So get your gorgeous out.

COLLABORATIONS

SERIOUS FUN

Having fun on set is essential. We love working with models on concepts, taking lots of images and deciding afterwards what goes public. No surprise so many models use our images as avatars and come back again and again.

Saskia Mahani

Ivory flame turns concepts into transcendental art. Photographers from around the world fly her in for shoots, photography manuals and collectors editions feature her. An English Rose who flowers wherever she is placed.

We shot in the paperback forest and on a long windswept dune and then she danced naked in the waves.

Talented, fun and friendly photographer - I had a really enjoyable shoot at some stunning locations with Clayton, with gorgeous images created.

She has been a booking agent for photo magazines, an artist, a musician, a fashion designer, a fashion model and nude muse.

She's part LA high energy, quick paced and decisive and part Bali spiritual practitioner, deep, slow, alive and open.

Testimonial

Clayton was fun to work with. He had all the necessary accessories and costumes prepared which was great. The shooting was structured according to the timing and concept we agreed in advance. Clayton is careful with picture publishing and takes into consideration my opinion! "

Sylph Sia

Slyph Sia has a real name but her dance through the lakes, beaches, glaciers and palaces of the world is mystical. Wise and wonderful every pose she makes seems filled with meaning and yet she is also a down-to-earth Aussi girl happy to pose poolside in a bikini.

Testimonial

Clayton was fantastic to work with - very professional, easy going and put a lot of preparation into his shoots. An excellent collaborator!

Ruby Slipper

Burlesque and the hugely 'Fringe Art Festival' in Perth owe a great deal to Ruby Slipper.

If burlesque is being uninhibited with such style and verve the audience forget to stare, Ruby Slipper is the cream of the crop.

At the same time she is a powerful persona who's charisma is high seductive.

WHY DO WE WORK WITH BODY CONFIDENT MODELS

We shoot portraits on every shoot and look to work with model who are also keen to create captivating images of beauty and sensuality. Why? Photo shoots take a lot of planning and coordination, and then there are post-shoot editing hours. So shooting a wide scope of images makes sense.

Yes, we pay the right models, but usually, we are busy with models who want to be with us. Can you book us for your shoot, your style with no sensual images? Off course.
