Greta S

Hello,

Welcome to my portfolio page.

I'm a Hungarian model, living in Norwich.

Modelling is a serious pursuit for me and although secondary to my main job, I know the importance of maintaining efficient communication. If you message me on here and I don’t get back to you immediately, it is because I have scheduled a time when I will give proper and all due consideration to my reply.  Please do not expect an instant response and give me a fair chance to reply. If your requirement is urgent, then please mark it as such in the subject heading and I’ll do what I can to prioritise it.

My levels are as indicated on my ‘shoot styles’ and will remain as such unless I change them on this page. For the avoidance of doubt, if you are booking me, it is on the understanding that any approach, however nuanced, for me to consider presenting beyond my chosen levels will make me feel uncomfortable and result in me immediately terminating the shoot. 

Whilst on the topic of model/photographer interaction, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever for you to touch me during a shoot, so please respect my personal space. I am happy to follow your direction and mirror your poses. If you need me to move my hair out of my face or adjust anything, then please just ask and I shall do so. Please do not assume by booking me I have given you any implied permission to touch me. I have not. 

With those caveats out of the way, what will I be bringing to your table?

You will find me punctual. If, for reasons beyond my control, I am delayed, I will do my utmost to get a message to you of the delay and my revised time of arrival. This will be a rare occurrence as I am often the first to turn up for an appointment. When I arrive, you will find me already made-up as requested, (unless you are employing an MUA) with my hair neatly done and suitably attired.  I approach all shooting assignments with enthusiasm, a sense of adventure, energy, cooperation, and good humour. It is as important for me, as it is for you, to make the shoot a success. 

With an introductory rate for Purpleport Members, I am keeping my fees transparent and simple:

For 1:1 shoots: £30 per hour (minimum of 2 hours)

Half-Day (4 hours): £100 

Full-Day (8 hours inclusive of a 30 minute lunch break): £200 

The attendance of an additional photographer will necessitate an enhanced fee (to be negotiated).

Please note when booking me you are paying me for my time between the agreed booked times i.e., 9am – 11am and not for time spent in front of the camera. If there is a problem, such as a malfunction or location change, which necessitates an extension to the time I am required, this will need to be paid at my hourly rate for any part of the hour thereafter and only if it is practicable for me to stay.  I am not a clock-watcher by any means, nor do I provide my best work if I am being rushed through a shoot. I will always try to arrive ahead of my start time to meet the photographer, and discuss what is required of me during the shoot.

Travel expenses: Any destination beyond a 25-mile radius of Norwich, will be charged at 50 pence per mile or the cheapest rail/bus travel, as appropriate.

Any national long distance or international travel will need to be paid for by the photographer, although, where appropriate, I will consider sharing the cost of travel or accommodation incurred.

Because of the reported experience of other models, it has become advisable to charge a 50% deposit to secure a booking at the time it is made. This will be non-refundable for any booking cancelled with less than 5 days’ notice being sent by message, in writing, on Purpleport.  Any booking cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice being given in writing on Purpleport will incur the full booking fee plus any additional travelling/accommodation expenses incurred by me that cannot be reclaimed. I do not expect to be placed out of pocket due to cancellations leaving me without the time to secure alternative work. No more than I would expect not to have to pay the out-of-pocket expenses of a photographer if I was unable to fulfil my side of an agreement to shoot. 

I understand that sometimes life can get in the way of plans and events will happen that result in late cancellation. This is frustrating for both the photographer and the model. In the event of a genuine unforeseen cancellation, beyond the photographer’s control, I will explore the possibility of rebooking the shoot with the photographer at some other mutually convenient time before deciding as to whether payment for the cancelled booking will be required.

Deposits can be paid via BACS or Paypal (details will be provided at the time of booking) The balance may be paid by cash on the day or by either of the before mentioned methods. Payment by cheque is not accepted. Any bookings for long distance national/tours/international travel, together with travel and accommodation expenses is required in full before my journey commences. 

I am already working in collaboration with my chosen photographer on a TFI basis and have offered TFI terms to some photographers who have asked for them as an introductory concession to me starting on Purpleport. Whilst I will always consider approaches from experienced photographers wanting to work with me in a way that will enhance my portfolio, I have chosen a modest fee rate to make modelling a viable venture for me and affordable to most photographers.  I understand that money is short all around now and whilst I would love to be able to say yes to every offer of a TFP/TFI shoot it simply isn’t possible. You may ask but please don’t be offended if I decline your offer.

Photographers requesting me to sign a Model Release Form must do so at least 48 hours before the shoot commences by sending me a copy of the form with the proposed use my images are intended to be put to. This will allow time to discuss any concerns I may have with the photographer. A Model Release Form is an important legal document, and it is imperative that the full terms be read, understood, and agreed between the parties before it is signed. Please be specific in your requirements as I am unlikely to sign a blanket release. I will not sign a Model Release Form presented to me for the first time on the day of a shoot. 

Please note my rates stated are for non-commercial shoots only. Any intended commercial use of my images must be discussed at the time of booking me or before any commercialisation of them takes place if opportunity presents itself later. 

To make a booking, or learn more, please don’t hesitate to contact me and ‘follow’ me so you will be notified of any changes as I settle into my new membership as a Purpleporter.
