WHAT IS PUMP YOUR BOOK?

Pump your book is a day at my Los Angeles photo studio dedicated to providing an opportunity for photographers to gain hands-on experience using high-end pro lighting equipment and unique modifiers, while creating amazing images for your portfolio.

You can’t do fashion without a fashion model, that’s why we are providing an LA agency model for you to work with. The right makeup is critical to produce pro results. We are providing a professional makeup artist to create that perfect look. Attendance is capped at 6-7, so everyone gets the necessary one-on-one time with the model to create great images.

WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN AND WHERE IS IT?

Pump your book is scheduled for Saturday, December 9th at 10am sharp.

The studio is located at 14th and Long Beach Avenue in Los Angeles on the edge of the Fashion District.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Pump your book is targeted for photographers who wish to begin or enhance their portfolio with professional quality imaging, but may not have access to, nor the time to coordinate all the components that are required to achieve professional level results.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

• Professional studio space
• Profoto lighting gear
• Agency fashion model
• Professional Makeup artist who will execute multiple looks ( clean beauty and a more stylized fashion look ) including hair

WHAT DO I BRING?

The beauty of Pump your Book is that you virtually just show up with your camera, the difficult work is already done for you. Model, team and wardrobe are in place. The lighting is set up. Everything is shoot ready. You just need to bring the following:

• Camera
• Pocket Wizard (I have a few extras if you don’t have one)
• Memory card for your camera.
• Yourself, enthusiastic and ready to shoot

HOW CAN I USE THE IMAGES I TAKE?

The images you create can be used for non-commercial purposes only. Permissible use includes: portfolio and other collateral intended to showcase your work as a photographer. You may also post your work to social media or submit for editorial publication. You may not use the images for commercial purposes such as advertising a product or service. These are essentially model tests and no model release is signed. Please do not present the models with a release or other contract to sign. This is not permitted. If you require commercial usage of the images, please let us know ahead of time. Usually commercial usage can be negotiated with the agency.
