When do you shoot?
I've been shooting in the afternoons and evenings lately which seems to work well for me. I prefer to not schedule early morning shoots, but they can be arranged.

What are the general requirements for shooting with you?
Models must be 18 or older. NO exceptions. I do expect
that models will be clean, on time, and look like
the photos they've submitted to me. I prefer to not
deal with managers or boyfriends. The only time I will
deal with your manager is if we do a pay shoot for my content
company. No other time will I go through a manager to
work with a model. The photos are a collaboration with
the model and myself, not a 'business deal'. I prefer
that boyfriends do not accompany models to the shoot.
The only exception I make is again, for models who are travelling
and have limited resources. There is a waiting area
in my studio in which they may stay in.
Also, I generally do not work with models (or anyone for that
matter) who have a reputation for creating drama. I
am extremely laid back. My photography is a source of
happiness for me... so I choose to keep my studio a peaceful
& stress-free environment.

Do you do pay shoots or trade shoots (TFP)?
On occasion, I will do trade shoots with the right models. I allow the model to
use the photos on her pay site provided that credit and a
recipricol link accompany the photos. The photos may
appear in the following places: my membership website(s), magazines, books,
promotional materials, etc...
For the pay shoots, I offer competitive pay to models.
The pay shoots I do are for my content company Red Room Media. These photos
will be resold to other webmasters. These shoots are
explicit in nature. They are much more 'porny' than
the artsy photos I shoot for my portfolio site..

Makeup & Hair
You're in charge of your makeup & hair. I prefer that
models wear little or no foundation. i like to see the skin.
Smokey eyes are always good. And hair... well... do something
funky with it. Put it up.. tease it.. put stuff in it. :)
You can do hair & makeup touchups at the studio if you
prefer. I suggest getting a professional stylist... here's
one that i highly reccommend who just happens to be relatively
close to my studio: Tony

Wardrobe
I have an extensive lingerie & fetish wardrobe. However,
I do suggest that you bring anything you think might be fun
to shoot in. I like mixing & matching outfits. Also... accessories including jewlry and wigs..
i love them. Bring them if you have them!

What kind of IDs should I bring?
You should bring a current drivers license and/or passport
to the shoot. I will need to make a copy of it.
You will be required to sign a model release at the completion
of the shoot. Its a standard model release, and I have
added a section regarding trade work so that models feel better.

How long does it take to get the pictures?
It will generally take me at least a couple weeks to get some
of the photos back to you. I shoot a lot, so I always
have a backlog of photos. I can mail a cd of edited
images to you or you can download a zip file. I will
give them to you edited at 700x525 or larger. I do not give out
all the raw images from the shoot. If you would like
to have a certain image at hi res so that you may print it,
please let me know and I can get it for you. Any images
that will be published must be approved by me first and I
must recieve a photo credit as well as a copy of the publication.
No exceptions.

Linking back
All models who use my photos on their site(s) must link back
to ashleyfontenot.com. I am very generous with link
to my models on my site. I even have an affiliates program
you can sign up for that will sweeten the deal.

Will anyone else be present at our shoot?
Thats hard to say. Sometimes I have an assistant on hand. He moves things around for us,
takes behind the scenes photos and will offer you beverages
and such. Since I do share the studio with another photographer,
its likely that she may pop in sometimes. And...
we allow some of our out-of-town models to stay at the studio...
so there may be a kumi in the background. Its a family/community
type atmosphere. However, if any of that makes you uncomfortable,
let me know and i'll lock down the set.

I want a website, damn it!
Since you can't just go an pick one up at the store, I use
a gentleman that is highly reputable and will give you a badass
website so you can make lots of money... or at least
look like you do. Email James
Willing to get info. He offers good packages such
as general freelance or profit-sharing. Tell him I sent
you & maybe he'll give you special tasty discount.
Ask to see his portfolio.. its pretty extensive and has worked
on some of the sites for top models in our industry.
