I love to collaborate with Models and Stylists for my personal work. If you are seeing this page then I’ve contacted you about a possible shoot together.
I appreciate you taking the time to connect. To respect your schedule, I want to cut straight to the chase and lay out all the details of a potential shoot so we can see if we are a good fit without a lot of back-and-forth messaging.
I am looking to shoot new content for my retail boudoir brand, Sweet Audacity, as well as my personal creative outlet, Mickle Design Werks. The resulting images and/or videos will be featured on my websites and social media channels. If I decide to submit our work to online or print magazines, I will always discuss that with you first. Additionally, if you are comfortable with video, I like to shoot short 5 to 15-second clips to mix with still images for promotional fusion showreels.
Creative Style and Artistic Boundaries
My current creative interests include, but are not limited to:
Beauty and Creative Portraits
Fashion Editorials
Creative Concepts
Art Nude
Fashion/Glamour Nudes
Erotic Nudes
My primary focus is on beauty, concept, and fashion editorial-styled photography, which can include artistic or glamour nudes. I view nudity as a compositional element that helps tell a story or supports the artistic focus of the image. That said, your comfort and personal boundaries are a top priority. Whether you prefer to keep things modest or are open to more adventurous concepts, your choices will be fully respected. Please just let me know your preferences in your reply.
If this is a trade shoot and you have specific concepts or sets you want to build for your own portfolio, I am more than happy to incorporate them into our planning.
Styling, Wardrobe, and Logistics
Production value is incredibly important to me, so I typically want to have strong input into the creative styling, hair, makeup, and wardrobe for my shoots. I have a large collection of wardrobe pieces, shoes, and accessories ready to use, but you are welcome and encouraged to bring your own items as well. Please let me know your comfort level with doing your own hair and makeup, and take a moment to look over my detailed preferences and wardrobe suggestions on my website’s styling page.
We will shoot either at my residential studio in Fort Washington, MD, a commercial studio (usually Union 206), or at a secluded outdoor location (I have several spots in Fort Washington). I prefer scheduling shoots between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM to take advantage of the best daylight and avoid rush hour traffic. The shoot itself usually lasts about 2 to 4 hours, but please plan for an extra 30 to 60 minutes so we can settle in, finish styling, and take care of the necessary paperwork. I prefer to book shoots about 1 to 3 weeks in advance, and you can check my current availability on my online Shoot Calendar.
Compensation, Image Delivery, and Legalities
Before we pick up the camera, I will need you to sign a standard, one-page Shoot Agreement, which you can review ahead of time via my Sample Shoot Agreement PDF. For compensation, I offer two different options depending on your goals:
- Straight Payment: A standard paid rate, which means you receive financial compensation but do not expect to receive images from the shoot.
- Mixed Payment: A negotiated, reduced cash rate in exchange for a set of edited digital images for your portfolio.
We will select the images together right after the shoot or via a digital meeting a few days later, while the ideas are still fresh. My agreement guarantees a strict two-week turnaround time, and your high-resolution images will be delivered digitally via Dropbox. These deadlines are included in the Shoot Agreement so they bind me. You will have full rights to use these images for your own non-commercial self-promotion, such as your portfolio and social media. If you run a fan subscription site like OnlyFans or Patreon and want to use the images to generate income, please let me know so we can negotiate a custom commercial usage agreement.
How to Proceed
If you are interested in collaborating, please reply with your preferred compensation option and three specific dates and times that work for your schedule. Once we settle on a date, I will send over a quick questionnaire to help me prepare our agreement and finalize the pre-production details.
