about TFCD

Time for CD (TFCD) is an arrangement between a model and a photographer. Instead of paying for each others services, the photographer agrees to provide the model a certain number of prints of the best photographs from the session and a limited license to use those prints, in return for a broad model release.

There are no "standard" terms for a TFCD shoot, however, the following conventions are implied with my TFCD agreements:

• Model is responsible for wardrobe and makeup expenses
• Photographer is responsible for any location permits or studio and equipment rental
• Photographer is responsible for CD media, and shipping costs
• Photographer will obtain a signed model release form
• The photographer will select photos to retouch and send to the model
• Themes and wardrobe requirements are arranged prior to the shoot
• The model cannot sell the photographs to any web site or submit them to magazine/online contests without permission
• Models must be age 18 or older and provide photo ID on the day of the shoot
