We have two options for our –photo- projects: Paid and TFT
95% of our gigs are TFT
Below is our TFT checklist <Scroll Down>
TFT FAQ:
Q: What is TFT/TFP?
A: Trade for time/Trade for pictures
Q: Why are you primarily TFT?
A: With Rope, Kink, and Fetish activities being an edge activity, we are looking for people who have an interest in the subject.
A: By enjoying the topic, the look, looks, and emotions come through as authentic.
A: We’re not paying for eros; we’re capturing what you enjoy!
A: Sell it! If you’re worth the $$$, you probably have the following to publish it yourself too. As partners, we both get full rights.
A: We are art partners having fun doing what we love.
Q: Well, then, why pay/paid?
A: Occasionally, a project comes along that is out of our control, and as professionals, we get hired for our rigging expertise and artistic purview.
A: We have day jobs, and if you need us to drop everything for a project, we will do so for the right price.
A: We’re not always interested in every project, but cash is king and helps convince us to take on other projects.
A: Getting paid helps us do our other normal projects.
A: If your request is a commercial gig, that’s a job.
Conclusion, we are primarily a TFT house, but occasionally a paid option is available.
Sometimes, instead of a “paid shoot” a stipend is involved. Stipends range from lunch, clothing, travel, or basic inconvenience compensation. Typically, both parties generally do it for the love of the project, activity, and outcome/art. You can check out our various suggested releases to get an idea of various options, and are open to your policy suggestions and requirements.
Our TFT checklist:
- Flexible (especially time flexible),
- Something I’m interested in
- Something local
(Though I love to travel, and do so often)
(Travel expenses and Time Paid for) - Not have costs incurred:
Cover my incidentals & costs - Something Marketable:
- ALL must sign a full release
- Gifts are great!
Buy me some new props, rope, lunch, etc - Trades:
Want a special rig or specific color of rope?
See if it’s a gift I’ll take to cover expenses. - B-Roll: If you have a dedicated photographer, I still
request the option to take some pictures. - No, or easy anonymization: Blotting out people’s faces and tattoos, just looks bad. It might be no big deal, but the less that’s needed, the more likely we’ll take it as a TFT gig.
p.s. masks, not always feasible, are often an easy option.
Sound Good?
Please tell me how we can work together. Do you have a project in mind? Doesn’t matter if its yours or ours, we’d love to hear about it.
Definition:
In this case, Photo = Video, and often includes other gigs.
NOTE: Classes are a paid clinical environment project that helps cover our photo expenses and Figure Drawing Classes are usually donation-based, with donations split.
