Clear answers, before we step into the light
Creative photography should feel exciting, not uncertain. Pricing, privacy, wardrobe, posing, and what to expect on set — it's all here.
Before you book
Do I need to be a professional model?
Not at all. Most people I shoot are "everyday" creatives. My job is to direct you — I'll handle the posing, lighting, and angles. You just need to show up and be yourself; I'll handle the "model" part.
How much does a session cost?
Every project is unique, but we keep it straightforward: flat-rate packages for standard editorials starting at $250, and custom quotes for complex composite work like Cosplay or Body Projections. Each session type on the booking page shows its price and deposit up front. Already know your direction? Explore editorial portraits, bodyscapes, body projection, back projection, or cosplay composites.
How do I book and how does it all work?
Pick a session type and an open slot on the booking calendar — a deposit secures your spot instantly. From there, we'll do a digital "pre-game" to discuss concept, wardrobe, and prep so you're ready to kill it on set.
What happens after I book?
Within a day or two you'll get a confirmation plus a short concept questionnaire. Then comes the pre-game: we lock the mood, wardrobe, and any props or projected imagery, and I send a prep sheet specific to your session type. On the day, you just show up — everything else is handled. Proofs arrive within 48 hours, finals in your private gallery within 14 days.
Do you ever do unpaid creative collaborations?
Yes — I love a good collaboration. If you have a concept that fits the studio's vision — especially Bodyscapes, Projection, or High-Fantasy Cosplay — apply through the Creative Exchange: you bring presence, a model release, and social credit; you leave with retouched, portfolio-grade art. Send a mood board or detailed pitch. (Standard headshots are always paid sessions.)
Can I bring a friend to my shoot?
Absolutely. I have a strict "Plus One" policy. Whether it's for moral support, help with a costume, or just peace of mind, your guest is welcome on set.
Where do we shoot?
We've moved to a "Location-First" model. While we primarily use Studio Space ATL for projection and bodyscape work, we select the environment based on the vibe of the shoot — from industrial lofts to specialized projection studios.
On set
What should I wear for a Bodyscape or Projection session?
For Bodyscapes, minimalist or nude is standard to capture the "landscape" of the form, but form-fitting fabrics work too. For Projections, light-colored or white clothing catches the light best. We'll do a full wardrobe consultation before your shoot date.
What should I bring?
Aside from wardrobe and any props, bring "Main Character" energy. For Bodyscapes or Projections I'll send a specific prep sheet on skin care and undergarments. And as always — bring a friend if it makes you more comfortable.
Do you do hair and makeup?
I focus strictly on the lens and the light, but I work with a network of killer HMUAs in the Atlanta area. If you want a pro to level up your look, I can share a list of trusted creatives to hire for your session.
Do you provide the backgrounds for Cosplay?
Yes! As a specialist in in-house composites, I create the digital environment in post-production. You bring the costume; I'll build the world around you.
Do you also provide video services?
My primary focus is high-impact stills, but for certain editorial or cosplay projects we can discuss BTS content or short cinematic clips for your Reels/TikTok. For full-scale video production, I can refer you to some of the best videographers in the city.
Your photos
How long does it take to get my photos back?
You'll receive a watermarked proof gallery within 48 hours to make your selections. Final retouched images are typically delivered via your private gallery within 14 days. Heavy composite work gets a custom timeline.
How many pictures will I receive?
Quality over quantity, always. Depending on your package, you'll receive a set number of fully retouched, magazine-ready images. I'd rather give you five or ten iconic shots that stop a scroll than fifty that look just okay.
Do you edit all of your photographs?
I curate every image you see. Every final photo undergoes a professional high-end retouch — color grading, skin work, and (for Cosplay/Projection) full artistic manipulation. You're paying for a finished piece of art, not a half-baked file.
Who gets to see my photos?
Privacy is a top priority. Your photos are delivered via a private, password-protected gallery. I only share images on my portfolio or social media with your explicit permission. If the shoot is intimate or private, it stays that way.
Are my digital files watermarked?
Your final, high-resolution images are not watermarked. They're yours to use, print, and post. Only the proof gallery — the rough shots you pick favorites from — is watermarked.
Do I receive the RAW, unedited files?
In short: not normally. To me, a RAW file is an unfinished painting. My work is defined by the final edit and the Formed of Light aesthetic. That said — everything is negotiable.
