Colin Cousins

I’ve had all 3 COVID injections

Thank you for taking the time to read my information.

I'm a member of the Guild of Photographers and The Societies of Photographers. 

I hope you are all staying safe but once we are out of lockdown I am going to shoot couple times a week.

So if your looking to start your profile, update your existing one or add content of different shoots please do get in touch. 

I am joint owner of Silverwell Studio at Abbey Mill, Abbey Village Nr Chorley, PN6 8 DN

I will happily shoot with you TF so please do get in touch.

What you can expect from me: 

A high level of professionalism in:

The quality of image, photography, lighting.

Sensitivity to the model's needs. I will never ask you to go beyond your stated levels.

I aim to communicate clearly, politely and respectfully before, during and after the shoot.

Use of model release forms, so you as a model understand how, when and where the imagery is used.

Prompt supply of agreed number of images after the shoot. However, I've now made the decision that, for paid shoots, if the casting is made by the model I will not be supplied images if the model wants to purchase them then they can by saying what ones they want. If it's TFP I will happily supply images to the model. I've seen models altering my work through crops and weird toning. For all the well-reasoned sensitivities about photographers working with models, there needs to be an awareness on the model's part of copyright and ethical issues about reproducing photographers' works. I respect you. Please respect my work; if you need to use my images, please ask and tell me how they will be used and be prepared to negotiate with me.

What I expect from the model 

Professionalism.

Clear and prompt communication. If you decide not to follow through after discussions, please tell me.

Punctuality: if you are going to be late etc, simple enough to communicate!

Willingness to work with me on developing ideas.

No heavy alcohol intake on the evening prior to the shoot.

I will always give my phone number to a model that I've arranged a shoot with just so they can contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Colin
