TFP= Time For Prints
That's right, TFP- That's a term very familiar to photographers and models alike...but what exactly does it mean?Most of the work on my site is TFP- In summary : Model poses for Photographer in exchange for Prints for his/her portfolio. Model poses for photographer, Photographer gives her copies of the best images in reasonable time.Sometimes Model and Photographer split the costs of hair/ makeup and any othe incidentals like processing, beer and chicken wings...- that about sounds fair.
Nowadays, In a world of internet clubs and DIY "model" homepages..there seems to be a distorted version of the term:
1) TFP: Totally Free Photographer- as in "Model thinks she's hot. therefore every photographer is obligated to photograph her for free" so she can accumulate as many images as possible for her "self-made" fan club
.2)TFP:I'll wear what I want, pose how I want and keep all the photos to myself..after all I am the Model ( very loosely used term) and you should be grateful to photograph me. Honey, I would agree if you were Miss Hawaiian Tropic...but you're not. So sit still and smile for the camera.
3) TFP: Trying to be FEtish Photographer: Just because you're a pervert and bought a slick camera, doesn't give you the right to abuse the title of photographer in the name of "Fetish" Art. the truth is: you couldn't get laid before, you're not getting laid now either.
4)Totally Fake Photographer:Digital camera + Hawaiian Shirt + Ticket to latest glamour convention. You know who you are....WE know who you are..
In summary, Just because a photographer shoots TFP doesn't necessarily mean he'll shoot any chick with a new corset that'll call him, unless he's Mandrake the magician who can pull Film, lights, Sets, and prints out of his ass Nor It means Pretty girls have to put up with Perverts disguised as photographers. No one is obligated to each other then. (period)
