Jay Clapp Freelance Artist

Hi I am Jay

Thanks for having a browse of my portfolio it means a lot to me.

A bit about me:

I am a Blackpool based photographer with my own fully equipped studio (The Rock Factory Photo Studio on here)

I have been shooting now for over 15 years at this point developing my style and look.

I am a bit of a chamelion in that i am able to do a range of styles and i like to think i am pretty good at lighting.

I have Aspergers Syndrome (On the Autism Spectrum) which i see as my superpower as my thing is about being creative but it does make me somewhat direct with people and i pull no punches.

Dont get me wrong i dont consider myself an asshole but i sometimes get taken the wrong way.

You will find that i am incredibly chilled out and my shoots are as stress free as possible.

Portfolio Builders For New Models

I fully understand that it can be difficult for a model when they are first coming out.
You need decent pictures that show you in your best light but cant get them because you dont have a decent enough portfolio to entice someone to work with you.

This is where a portfolio builder shoot comes in. 

On these shoots we go through as much as possible within the time to give you the essentials to get your portfolio moving forward.

There is no limit on the levels i am wishing to shoot and your needs will be discussed prior to the shoot so everyone is on the same page.

Portfolio Builder Pricing

The pricing for the portfolio builders are as follows:

• £50 for 3 hours with 10 digital images.
• £80 for 5 hours with a minimum of 15 digital images.

The porfolio builders are open to all models any shapes or sizes and any levels.

Payment is via bank transfer to my business account and full reciept will be provided.

TFP/TFCD Work

I am open to doing work TF work with models but i have to feel like that my portfolio is going to benefit from working with someone.

I tend to be more open to TF work if it is a creative shoot or nude work but ultimately it comes down to if i have the time.

Dont be afraid to ask about TF work but please do not be offended if i dont take you up on it.

Last Min Cancellations

Over the years i have learned that it is actually quite dangerous to be related to a model it seems.

I have had all sorts of excuses for cancellation from models so i have just now standardised my response to them.

Cancellations with more than 24 hour notice will not have any repercussions and i will be happy to re schedule the shoot.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will get a negative reference but with an honest description of what happened.

I will also be willing to re arrange the shoots on a three strike rule so you have the chance of having a second reference where i am positive cancellating out the previous reference.

No Shows

These are not acceptable with the exception of being hospitalized or death and will result in an honest negative review of what has happened and i will not work with you again.
