Q: I want to be a model, when can I come and do a shoot?

A: At this time the studio is available primarily Thursdays and Fridays and early Saturdays until 2pm by appointment only.We ask that you call ahead early in the week to set up an appointment and then call on Wednesday, the week of the shoot to confirm the scheduled shoot.

Q: How much will I get paid for the shoot?

A: The initial test shoot is not paid, as it is just that, a TEST SHOOT. The test shoot is TFP (time for prints). Compensation for travel expenses may be provided at the company’s discretion**.

We ask that you bring any and all outfits and accessories you would like to have your picture taken in for the test shoot. This allows us and you a better idea of what potential is available for future shoots. We then choose which outfits and themes we would like to develop with you as a model and discuss other arrangements of compensation based on the initial shoot.

NP studios offer a variety of compensation plans for those models which decided to continue working with us to develop their modeling. For those models who are able and willing to continue shooting on a consistent basis (i.e. once a month as time permits) we offer a lucrative profit sharing plan of all merchandise sold of your images. We will even work further with those who want to make their own website within the NP studio site.

For those models who are not interested in such ventures or are only able to do shoots on a semi or irregular basis, compensation will vary, including TFP (time for prints) and paid shoots generally ranging from $25.00 (twenty-five dollars) to $50.00 ( fifty dollars) per shoot* The actual amount is determined solely by the photographer after the shoot is completed.

* A minimum of 3 outfits/motifs are required.

** This amount is not to exceed 50.00 (fifty dollars) per shoot and may, at the companies discretion negate some or all other compensation of a particular shoot if the photographer believes that the images produced by the shoot does not warranty additional compensation.

Q: Can I bring a friend; I don’t feel comfortable going by myself.

A: Yes. We do not mind if you bring a friend/ boyfriend/ girlfriend/ husband or general companion as an outside observer as long as they do not disrupt the creative process of the photo shoot. We also allow couples to be photographed together, if they wish to do so.

Q: I see a lot of nudity/semi nudity on the site. I don’t want to take my clothes off!

A: Nudity is NEVER REQUIRED! All of the outfits have been chosen and generally provided by the models themselves, showing their own personal character and fashion. Models that have made the decision to pose nude or semi nude, have done so because they are comfortable in presenting themselves that way. It is always at each individual’s sole discretion, the manner in which they choose to express themselves in the photo shoot. Please understand that we insist that all models are comfortable and relaxed at all times, if the model is not comfortable or insecure it will generally show up in the photographs.
