READ THE NEW FAQ: 1) What are my rates? I paint with light as an artistic outlet, not to make money. This isn't a job for me, so I don't pay for shoots or expect to be paid (unless I'm asked for shots that I don't feel will benefit my collection, then I'll ask for compensation for my time.
2) When will you get your images? Soon :-) I usually get preview images out pretty fast, no later than a few days later. Manipulated images take as long as I need to do them. As I don't do this full time, I don't always have time to work on it. I do have a family and a full time job :-) I fulfill all promises as life allows and as inspiration flows.
3) Do I require nudes? No, but yes :-) Let me clarify: I don't want to shoot full nudes most of the time, but I do require that you're at least comfortable with implied nudity. Why? Because those comfortable with it typically give me better (as in usable) images. If you're dead set against any kind of nudity, I'm sorry but I will not work with you... it would be a waste of my time. DON'T SHOOT NUDES IF YOU'RE NOT SELF-CONFIDENT, HESITANT, OR YOUR CONSCIENCE IS BOTHERED BY IT.
4) As this is just a hobby, I don't have a studio. If that makes you suspicious, please contact any of the gals listed on my credits list... I've worked with each and they can vouch for my legitimacy.
5) Will I pay you to model? No. I do MUCH more than just push a shutter-button and burn a CD. I spend hours on the images after the shoot is long done, and the time I spend is as valuable as yours and I invest a lot more time than you do. Your compensation is the images I decide are good enough to give to you for your use in whatever way you want.
6) I don't do model shoots with minors, please don't ask. All models are required to sign a release form before any shooting is done, which implies that you are of legal age to consent to the terms. You can download/preview/print the release form from this link.
7) Please also read the READ THIS FIRST and Tips for a Photo-shoot blogs entries if you're considering a shoot. If you have any questions, you may contact me on many instant messenger clients with "natethemagi" (i.e., Yahoo or AIM users may add natethemagi as a chat friend.)
