• Test shoots

 

I’m always looking for new people to work with. When I’m shooting for my portfolio I don’t charge, so you’ll get several fully retouched images for free. These TFP / TFCD (free) shoots are limited, though, in that I only do a few per month, and they tend to be booked up some way in advance.

TFP is pretty informal, but to make sure you know what I’ll be providing, and what I’d like from you, I’ve put answers to some commonly asked questions below.

(Most of the text below applies to models, but I’m always keen to hear from make up artists, hair stylists and wardrobe stylists – if that’s you, drop me a message!)

General
  • I’m primarily interested in shooting beauty and portraiture – this means I’m much more likely to agree to shoot with you if you’re suitable for at least one of these genres.
  • Shoots are normally arranged several weeks (or more) in advance, unless I have a late cancellation. I usually do not shoot on weekends, although I can occasionally manage it.
  • I work in a fully equipped studio near Tikkurila train station.
  • I’m usually happy for you to bring a friend along, especially if they don’t mind helping out in the studio, or have a useful skill such as makeup or hairdressing. Please let me know in advance if you’re going to be accompanied, though.

    What I Offer
  • At least three images, often more – everything I think worth spending the retouching time on, basically.
  • High quality retouching on all supplied images.
  • Images usually supplied in a week.
  • High resolution printable images made available for download.

    What I Don’t Offer
  • Unretouched images – I don’t feel it benefits either of us to have poor quality images available. I’m happy to retouch an extra image or two at your request, though, if my initial selection doesn’t include something you wanted to see.
  • Makeup / styling – I can generally arrange this if required, but there may be a cost involved.

    What I Expect From You
  • You’ll need to bring some form of identification so that I can verify that you’re over eighteen years old.
  • I will ask for your mobile phone number (and provide mine) so that we can get in touch on the day of the shoot if there are any problems.
  • If you have to cancel – I realise that problems can arise, but please let me know as soon as possible if you won’t be able to make a shoot, so that I can offer the time to someone else.


  • Any other questions, or fancy asking about a shoot? Please feel free to contact me by sending a mail to
