Apply to Collaborate with Domenica Michelle Photography
Hi there! Thanks for your interest in a collaboration. Limited spots available. Check out the FAQ’s at the bottom of the page.
Collaborations must be mutually beneficial. I have some concepts I have been wanting to do which you will find in the Creative Concept Checklist in the application below. I’m also open to discussion of other ideas you have or if you’d like to expand on any of the ones listed- can be as simple as a color scheme, makeup look, outfit idea, prop, or larger concept. Pinterest boards welcome.
Disclaimer: As much as I would like to work with everyone, there are limited spots available for collaborations. To secure a shoot I’d highly recommend booking a regular session with me, and I’d love to work with you and carry out creative visions. Collaborations are NOT available for seniors, graduates, couples, headshots, maternity, etc and if used for these you will be required to pay the full session cost. ($400 - $600+)
Model Collaborations are $100. Please read FAQ’s at the bottom of the page.
FAQs
How are collaborations different than regular sessions?
While my regular shoots are catered completely to my clients, my collaborations are more laidback and are more for experimenting and trying new concepts. I like to plan a few creative shoots a year on the side purely for fun and creating images that inspire and excite me. I typically have time for 1-2 collaborations per year.
Why are collaborations so affordable?
To put it into one sentence- my full-paying session clients take priority over any creative work. This means if you sign up for a collab, it could be a few months before you get your photos depending on how backed up I am on editing. If you have a deadline, you will want to book a regular photoshoot with me on my contact page (not collaboration). However, if you’re okay with waiting a little extra time for your photos to get some professional photos at a discounted rate, a collaboration could be for you. I look forward to editing and delivering my creative work, but at the same time I have a responsibility to deliver a high quality experience for my full-paying clients so that comes first in my editing queue.
Full paying clients also have the advantage of getting to choose their own photos from an online gallery of all the images taken, and can get as many photos as they would like. For collaborations, final images will be chosen by the photographer and number of photos will depend on the project. Models may purchase additional photos upon request after their final photos are delivered. Additional images are $20/image due prior to editing.
Is anything required of me as a model?
Models are required to sign a digital release contract and post a minimum of three Instagram posts and at least three story posts with live tags of @domenica_photo in caption within two months of receiving photos back. Precise tagging guidelines will be listed in the contract.
Models will be responsible for supplying outfits and makeup unless otherwise communicated. Full $100 non-refundable deposit via Venmo @Domenica-Michelle will be required to secure your date. Reschedules or cancellations must be done at least 48 hours prior to shoot date. Late fee listed in contract.
Can I apply for a collaboration for my senior photos?
Collaborations are NOT available for seniors, graduates, couples, headshots, maternity, weddings, branding photos, etc and if used for these you will be required to pay the full session cost. ($400 - $600+). Collaborations are available for styled shoots and models with experience.
Do I have to be signed with an agency to collaborate?
No, you do not need to be a signed model. Some modeling experience is preferred. All heights, weights, and ethnicities are welcome.
