A range of props to play with.
A wardrobe of clothes to try on.
A make-up artist, if you’d like one.
A chilled out, easy-going atmosphere.
A shoot in the studio or in your own home.

A portraiture shoot – whether laid-back and natural, striking and colourful, classic black and white, a more boudoir-style or even a horror shoot (seriously, they’re awesome fun!) – makes a perfect gift for someone you love. As an open-minded and experienced female photographer, I’m happy to work with individuals and couples so whatever floats your boat will make a fabulous photo, whether its you and your other half having a pillow-fight or a close-up of your gorgeous face.

Prior to any shoot, I like to have a chat on the phone or by email to begin the process of working with the client to create the pictures they desire. I believe that people are beautiful as they are and while it’s understandable for a client to want a scar, a spot or a couple of little lines removed, I would never dream of airbrushing anyone into a fake plastic version of themselves. A RockstarVanity photo shoot is always a fun and comfortable experience resulting in you being, well, you!

If you would like to give a portraiture shoot to someone as a Christmas gift, I would be happy to provide you with a personalised gift certificate. Portraiture shoots start at £125 and last approximately an hour. For longer shoots, inclusion of numerous concepts and HOME shoots for clients outside of Edinburgh (my studio is in Edinburgh city centre but some of my equipment is portable for home shoots), prices will be higher.  A make-up artist can be arranged too, although this isn’t included in the shoot price. Please get in touch for a quote before booking!

Finished, fully processed, images (a print-resolution set AND a smaller set, perfect to use online or send by email) will be provided on a CD within two weeks of the shoot. I can recommend a print service which I have had only positive experiences with or am happy to handle printing for a small admin fee.

BOOK NOW FOR A SHOOT IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY!

The calendars are…

Beauty: Fashion and Expressive Portraiture
Lust: Fetish, Nude and Alt Glamour Photography
Fear: Atmospheric Bloodless Horror Photography
Evil: Graphic and Gory Horror Photography

That one involves super-cute heart-shaped pasties covered with rhinestones (from Ann Summers) and you can find it on Flickr and deviantART, and prints are available from Fotki and deviantART.

That one is a preview of a set we shot for Zivity, and you can find it on Flickr and deviantART, and buy prints from Fotki and deviantART. The Zivity set isn’t up yet but I’ll post here as soon as it goes live. In the meantime, if you’re on Zivity or are going to join, come find me and say hi. My username there is (surprisingly enough) RockstarVanity.

That one is a preview of the Morning Haze set, now viewable on ViolentlyBeautiful.com. You can get a print of that picture here, in Fotki. There’s a whole heap more alt glamour and modern pin-up prints in this folder on Fotki.

These tasty bits were also posted on AltDiva, LiveJournal and MySpace.

Models, performers, bands, musicians, portraiture clients…
The following types of shoots have £25 off when booked before 31st December 2008, quoting discount count PINK21 (the shoot itself can be any time, but the booking must be made and booking fee paid before 31st Dec)…

- Conceptual portraiture (starting at £100 instead of £125)
- Nude, glamour and fetish portraiture (starting at £100 instead of £125)
- Model and performer portfolio development (starting at £50 instead of £75)
- Band and musician* shoots (starting at £50 instead of £75)

A professional make-up artist can be provided for an additional £25 for any shoots, and a rope master is available for an additional £50 for adult portraiture sessions.

You are welcome to book a shoot as a gift for someone else, and I can provide personalised gift vouchers for you.

* for bands and musicians, the discount only applies to posed/promo shoots, NOT rehearsal/recording session shoots, which are still £50

Social networking sites, dating sites, portfolio expansion…
Now that I’ve moved into my new studio, I’m happy to be able to offer Quickie Shoots for £25. Quickie Shoots are studio-based, last for half an hour and are ideal for people who want something a bit more polished than their holiday snaps to put on social networking or dating sites, and also for models and performers who want some new shots but don’t require a full portfolio development shoot.

Designers, merchants, webmasters etc…
As always, I am available to shoot in the studio, on location or in-store (if you have a shop) to provide images for websites, promotional material etc starting at £50.

The small print…
ALL shoots require a booking fee of £25 to be paid within a week of being invoiced to secure your shoot. I wish it wasn’t necessary to do this, but unfortunately it’s the only successful deterrent to time-wasters. My studio is in Edinburgh (5 mins out of the city centre) and for location or home shoots I’m happy to travel further afield for additional travel costs (agreed up-front, so there are no hidden charges). I am not booking any TFP shoots for the foreseeable future, so please don’t ask for freebies!
