Outdoor portraits can cover a multitude of situations and
styles. The style can vary from a casual fashion type shoot on
a park bench, to a sports car shoot on a quayside, or a real
fine art shoot at one of many great locations available in
Suffolk, or around the UK. Fiona already had a test shoot with Jay the week before
this image was created. She had never been semi-naked outdoors
before. The idea was to simply get some great semi-nude
outdoor shots for her own personal use, but she was so proud
of the result, she ended up showing her family and friends. Although taken beneath a bridge near a main road in the centre of Scotland, and in a fairly public place, by working closely with Jay she has helped achieve a great result.
TFP MOCK MAGAZINE, CD, DVD and BOOK COVERS
Although mainly for Jay's professional portfolio, the
technique does provide something different for a models
portfolio. The cover style can be from any magazine, but might include
specific titles such as: FHM, Elle, Bliss, Loaded, Bizarre,
Mayfair, Penthouse etc., and more generally, parenting /
pregnancy, sports, fitness, motoring, technology and other
similar styles of magazine. If there is a particular style you would like to shoot for, please ask.
Many models are keen to have moody and pensive fine art
nude studies to show off in their portfolios. This is not
necessarily just because they like the style, but also because
it shows the models figure to best advantage, and demonstrates
their versatility in front of the camera. The style is normally associated with more experienced models, but as TFP is more often associated with first time or inexperienced models who are building their portfolio, striking results can still be achieved.
HARRIET - First modelling session If you have an affinity for any particular style or genre (e.g. Helmut Newton, David Hamilton, Jan Saudek, Bob Carlos Clarke, etc.) please ask when contacting Jay Fine Art.
COMMERCIAL PROJECTS / COMMISSIONS If you have a specific commercial requirement, please contact Jay Fine Art to discuss the potential.
For more details on commercial photography please visit www.element903.com, which is the general commercial web site.Examples of commercial work:
A collaborative project is where both the model and Jay
Fine Art, have total control of content and sales. The mechanics are simple. The model and Jay Fine Art do a
shoot on a non-paid speculative basis (details about
expenses are covered further on).
It is agreed at the time of reviewing the images, which of the pics are for inclusion in a particular project.
* Typically, professional photographers charge up to £500
(or more!!) for a framed 30" x "20, so the price might well be
in excess of the £95 example quoted here. Joint project income can come from a variety of sources. It
might be Fine art prints sold off of the web site, or through
print sales in art galleries, the sale of stock images,
winnings from competition entries, or editorial or book sales. Some projects are immediate, some medium term, and a few long term (i.e. book projects can take years to fulfil). It is entirely up to the model what project they would like to be involved with (subject to their style and suitability for the project of course.) Most models choose a number of projects to show versatility within their portfolio.
Competitions If a model shoots with JAY, some images may be submitted as competition entries. There are many competitions around the world, and if a cash prize is forthcoming from entry of models image, the split will once again be 50:50 after deducting the costs of entry or production of prints.
Book projects tend to have a longer lead-time than other projects. This should not detract from the fact that there can be reasonable rewards. If a shoot is undertaken for any of the book projects, Fine Art Prints will be sold in the interim period to enhance / speed-up the earning potential.
On book projects this would be pro-rata depending on the number of models used to illustrate the book. This could range from a 50:50 split between JAY and a single model, or a straight % of revenue gained from the sale of the book to a publisher if multiple models are used. The net profit would be calculated from book sales revenue, less the cost of production, (e.g. the cost of the initial shoot and production of CD/prints for both parties + any additional expenses incurred.)
The concept here is that a photo-story is published on a
chapter by chapter basis on the internet web pages. After
previewing content via the first chapter which is free, all
remaining chapters are for subscribers only. The model will
receive a 50:50 cut of subscriber fees, or pro-rata if
more than one model is featured. Your Ideas As a model, you must have ideas of your own which you would like to bring to fruition. Perhaps a collaborative effort with JAY Fine Art is one way of achieving that goal.
This section details projects on a project-per-page basis. Please feel free to discuss your levels of expectation and interest.

Although
the term 'portrait' is used, this can cover various styles or
types of pose, from a relaxing pose against a plain background
on a sofa, to a full set such as a bedroom. This is a good
opportunity to add a variety of shots to the models portfolio.
Something
that has interested and intrigued Jay for some time, this
particular technique involves shooting for a particular
magazine style, then creating a mock-up of the covers
using Photoshop.
