DIVA Portrait Series For Book Release December 2012

Finally, after years of planning to launch, EFP is officially launching the DIVA Portrait Series!!!


Sunday, July 24 at 11:30am - July 25 at 12:00am. Call us for more details, 727-209-2306.

For those of you who haven't heard me ramble on about it, here are the details ....

The DIVA Series is a long-term (about 12 months) project where I photograph women of all ages, shapes, colors and sizes either semi-nude or nude. My vision is to produce artistic and tasteful images that celebrate the female body.
...
I'll schedule one or two days of shooting every 8 weeks through June of 2012. Each session will incorporate a different theme.

At the end of each series, I will take all of the best shots from each session and compile a fine art book to be published and sold. Part of the proceeds of the sales will be donated to ovarian cancer research.

In a nutshell, it's a series of photographs to celebrate the body we inhabit. To shed the shame and embrace our beauty. It's a portrait series for women, by women to benefit women.

Sessions will include 6-8 women, getting ready together and taking turns being photographed, so DIVA's need to be comfortable in a group setting. Women will be asked to bring (& wear) a comfy robe and slippers to each session. DIVA sessions will last about 3-4 hours. Wine and appetizers will be provided; DIVAs are welcome to bring additional beverages and snacks of their choice.

FEES.
W. Model Release ~ $350 * ~ Includes Digital Negatives
If a full model release is signed, allowing me to use the images in the book, for promotional purposes and for sale, the cost for the session is only $350 per DIVA. The fee includes all raw images on a disc plus 3 edited images I select for the book.

W/O Model Release ~ $550 * ~ Includes Digital Negatives & $200 Print Order Credit
If you are not comfortable signing a release, the fee will be $550 and will include a $200 credit that will be put toward your print order.

* Some sessions will have additional charges to cover location fees, hair, make-up, artists fees. See schedule below for details on each session.

If you want any additional images edited, fee is $35 per image. Those edited images will then be included on your disc.

If you wanted to purchase prints and/or a coffee table book of your images, you can certainly do so. Prints start at $65 and Books start at $365.

Canvas gallery wraps start at $115.
