GenuineBurke Modeling FAQ
What kinds of shoots can we do?
See Model Calls for a list of concepts I am currently planning.
Is it safe?
I operate out of my home studio in Rockford, MI. A female photography assistant (Jenna) is always present for every shoot I do, I will not touch you, and I can provide many references. There is a full bathroom for privacy while changing.
How much modeling experience do I need?
None! I work with women at all experience levels. I use the term "model" for anyone I photograph.
Who pays?
Most of my shoots are TFP ("trade for prints"), meaning they are unpaid collaborations. I am open to paying for certain concepts, mainly for experienced professional models.
What is a model release?
A model release is a written agreement between a photographer and model that grants the photographer permission to publish photos. I use an industry standard app called Easy Release, which ensures I have your legal name, date of birth, and permission to share photos.
How do I use your photos?
When we plan our shoot, please let me know how you want to be tagged or if you prefer to remain anonymous. We will also discuss which photos you are comfortable with me sharing online. I most commonly share to this website, Instagram, Bluesky, and Model Society. I may make prints or albums to keep in my studio. I do not have any pay sites such as Patreon, OnlyFans, etc.
What do models get?
Anyone I photograph will receive every photo I edit, we will discuss the number of photos and timeline before the shoot. I generally deliver at least ten edits within a week or two.
If I edit a photo, you will receive that edit as well.
Edits are high-resolution suitable for all uses including making prints, publishing, etc.
You can sell photos and prints through sites like OnlyFans, Fansly, etc. That's entirely up to you.
If you want to submit photos for publication, I will support that.
I never add ugly watermarks on top of images.
Can I bring a friend?
Always! For your safety and comfort, feel free to bring one friend to any photoshoot we do. Remember that I will also have a female assistant/chaperone present.
