Sponsoring Lingerie for photoshoot

[closetlingerie]

To all aspiring photographers,

I understand that some photographers might be doing TFCD photo shoots and may sometimes find it hard to find some sponsors for the model's clothes and other accessories.

Our company deals with prestigious brand name lingerie from USA like J LO, Maidenform, Natori, Jezebel, Lejaby and lots more. I can be able to sponsor J Lo lingerie for your TFCD model, but in return you have to give me the right to use the photos for our marketing materials. We are also not obliged to use your photographs if we think its not suitable. In return, we will be mentioning your name. I guess this is just a win-win-win situation for the photographer, model, and the product sponsor.

If anyone is interested, please PM me or email me at brandon(at)closetlingerie(dot)com. It would be best if you could be able to gather all the photographers that are interested in the lingerie shoot, get a couple of models and do the photo shoot together. We can only sponsor a limited quantity of J Lo lingerie as it is very exclusive.

Models that are interested in doing TFCD photo shoots in J LO lingerie can also post in this thread, so that the photographers know who you are. We are looking for models that are exotic looking, preferably chinese, caucasian or pan-asian lookalike. With cup sizes of 34B or bigger. If not, you can also pose in our J LO sleepwear, chemises, and camisoles.

It's pretty obvious this Brendon does not have any idea of copyrights and medium loading when he make such an offer.
In addition to the copyright, there is also the issue of model release.

While it is a nice gesture to offer to loan the lingerie, most TFCD models usually don;t do provocative or nightwear attires. You want the Victoria Secret type of models to join this shoot free of charge and allow you to splash their photos especially scantily clothed pictures all over the mass media or publications, many people will have their reservation.

A better suggestion would be to get the photographers here to do the shoot for you at a mutually agreed rate. Pay for a proper model with proper model release, a proper stylist, with your lingeries that you want to feature. THis way, everyone gets what they need. Brendon gets his desired images in the desired pose or setting, the photographer gets a quantum sum for time he spend, models is paid for parting with her privacy.

Is this a better arrangement? It's better that spending much time fussing over inappropriate TFCD models, not-enough-skilled photographers and cannot get the photos you desired. Think! Does it make sense?

great that u brought this up! :thumbsup:

but i can tell u, there will be some who will just do it. Just a friendly warning, becareful as the medium loading fees can be EXHORBITENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you don't wanna end up in that situation whereby you've to settle legal fees ON TOP of the loading fees.

Best wishes

I was thinking about this "good deal" and was about to make similar comments as above on the ownership rights and use, and the models' releases. :thumbsup:

hmms. just curious. what is medium loading?

 

[projekts]

standard shoot: have to provide the lingeries + model fee + photographer fee + loading fees
his/her offer: just provide the lingeries, no need to provide model fee + photographer fee + loading fees

so in the end, who is in the win win win situation?
you guys decide...

 

[Chez_choong]

jcryan55 and projekts have hit the nail on the head [although i'm only familar with loading fees referring to admin minimum charges or something].

anyone would be insane to sign away their basic rights to their work [theyre the creator of their work and automatically have the copyright unless its in an agreed contract - like shooting commisions for getty], as well as it being obvious that everyone but brendan loses out.
he could have done this the proper way and paid for it, or he could have struck some kind of middle ground with the rights and paperwork for everyone, but hes gone for the cheap rip off instead.
hes a business man, he should have the money to pay for a proper job, but instead is going the cheap way round it.
guess who has to do all the ground work? tip: its not brendan.

Sorry Brendon, if I sounded harsh.

But IMHO, a photographer is also a respectable artisan. For the time and resources that they are putting in to help u get your desired composition, a fair amount should be a great motivation factor. The amount can be agreed between both parties.

I had this experience overseas when I got the opportunities to see all the people at work in a photoshoot. From the client to the photographers, the stylists, models even the tea lady, they all have one thing in common. They respect each other and is prepared to pay what their services call for. This is even true in China. I see models are humble and willing to accommodate stylist and photographers. Can you imagine reaching the studio at 4am for styling and the next 3 hours sitting in front of the make up desk. Followed by another 6 hours marathon shoots, their patience and endurance all gain my respect. Nobody make a complaint or cry father at any one time. That's professionalism.

The model is paid a taxi fare for her time and in return she gets her portofolio done since she's using it for a film audition. All crew treated the photographer with high respect including the client. Sori, no such things as asking..."Got discount or not? Can cheaper or not?" The client does not "Ka-jiao" the crew during the shoot. He just sit quietly and let everyone does their stuff becos he knows they know what they're doing and he doesn't.

My impression is...if China which Singaporean always felt we're more dveloped country than them, can behave in a more professional way, why it is not happening in Singapore? Be realistic, all parties can find a in between point to see how we could make the best with the budget we have. I have known photographers (in China) who did shoots for clients on short notice in 4 hours and just ask for a meal in return....becos long term relationship is what everyone is looking at in their society. Same for the models....The client wants to work with someone he knows he can rely on every single time to deliver the quality that he needs, even at short notice.....

Also, they're some very pro amateurs who are not full time photographers which you can explore with if you have a limited or tight budget. Try talking to them.....They may even have a following of stylists, models or their part time crew that he can form up the team to do your shoot.

I did something like that for Aubade lingerie before. I went through it and I know it can be done....

I disagree. He's made his terms very clear. So all can go in with eyes open. Whether the model and the photographer want to give up their rights to the pix and allow them to be published by him is purely their decision. He also knows that he won't be getting top quality models or top quality pro photographers, so in that sense, he's getting what he paid for, too.
