Current mood:  aggravated

I hate to write anything about this subject but I feel that it is a must.  Lately I've been getting tons of offers from models letting me know about upcoming shoots that would benifit my portfolio but they're all TFP/TFCD.  There is only one problem with shoots like these...PRODUCTS! My kit is fully stocked with all the latest products to make you look absolutely stunning! Im constantly having to purchase lashes, mascara, mascara wands, foundations, eyeshadows etc.  My kit comes close to nearly $7000 worth of makeup and brushes.  So you can see why I ask for a simple kit fee of $50 per person on a TFP shoot.  I just hope that this makes some people realize just why I must charge that fee...please don't be upset models when I can't work completely for free...MAKEUP IS EXPENSIVE!

50 bucks is nothing. You're absolutely right.
I can't even afford to buy all the MAC stuff for myself!

I couldn't agree more, Bella. For a Make up Artist, as yourself, the costs involved can sky-rocket, especially if there are circumstances, such as weather, heat and humidity or simple outfit changes where one application is just not enough.




As a professional photographer, I, myself, will do TFP/TFCD on certain occasions to help an up and coming model as well as to help build my portfolio, but even in my trade, there are so many hidden costs the models just do not realize. Transportation of equipment, assistants, paying a make up artist, hair and something else you didn't mention that effects all of us in this industry, our time.
It is very valuable!



A very good post, my friend : )
