GenuineBurke Modeling FAQ

What kinds of shoots can we do?

See my Current Projects page for a list of concepts I am currently looking for.

How much modeling experience do I need?

None! I work with humans 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.

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.

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.

What is your studio like?

I live in O'Fallon, MO and my studio is in a building next to my house. I keep the studio space clean, there is a private changing area, and a bathroom is available in the house.
