Who is in charge
This week you have read a few blogposts about TFP, MUA, models etc. but now the finishing touch…… Who is in charge?
About technique and more.
Paying a model or MUA
A few days ago I talked about TFP, now let’s look at paying a model/MUA.
We all start somewhere, some people are very lucky and they will know the best models in the city and those are willing to work with them, but most of us photographers will start out blank. And not knowing anyone. So what do you do?
You ask people you know, scout models on the street and you start building your portfolio (well first your skills).
Now when your skills are growing you will often find out that the models you’re working with are slightly (or heavily) holding you back. When you realize this, it’s time to hire a model, and trust me this can be much cheaper than you think.
TFP
Today a small blogpost (but very important one) about a term called TFP.
TFP means officially : Time For Print.
Often now a days it’s called : Time For CD
So what is TFP?
TFP means that you do a photoshoot (or something else) without getting paid.
“You said what? I don’t get paid for my time, what is going on?”
Yep you heard me correctly, YOU (and your whole team) doesn’t get paid.
Some people will now say that they will never do stuff like that (anymore), but let’s think about it.
Quadra reflector adaptor tip

Alternative use of the Quadra Reflector Adapter RQ-EL
Quick tip for owners of a Quadra Reflector adapter and a Nikon SB900.
Some time ago, by chance or inquisitive nature, I found an additional use of the Quadra Reflector adapter (QRA) I’d like to share. I was trying to find a way to use one of my speedlights in a soft box. I own a Lastolite Ezybox, but I’ve never been really happy with it. So I was searching for an alternative. The Nikon SB900 can be inserted in the QRA and with a bit of gentle force, it can be wedged in very tight.
