TFP or TFCD (Time For Prints OR Time For CD)
Time for prints is a trade between model and photographer where she contributes her modeling time and the photographer contributes the photography services.  Usually no money changes hands, and the model gets copies of photos and the right to use them to promote herself.  Various trades can be made to give the model one 8x10 enlargement; 2-3 8x10 enlargements; 4x6 copies of everything but no enlargement; all copies scanned to a CD-ROM; etc.

YES, We offer TFP/TFCD Shoots
For select models looking to update and/or begin their portfolios
we will shoot 70+ images on location in beautiful outdoor South Florida or NY, NJ and CT Tri-State area.  If you are interested in TFP/TFCD Click Here for more details on setting up a Rock Brothers TFP.

Test Shoots
YES, We offer regular, frequent test shoots for models in South Florida when we think that there is a definite possibility of booking that model with a particular client or for a specific assignment.  If you are a new face and have a look that we believe is extremely marketable, of course we'll do a test shoot with you!  If you have 1-3 clear and recent photos of yourself (headshots and full body shots), contact us.

When is a Test Shoot FREE ?
The basic issue is, "for whose benefit are these?" Free test shoots are great with the right photographer, and we do them regularly.  Still, you can't be reluctant to invest in your own career, and your book is your best visual aid to what you can do.  If you have great tear sheets, you won't need many shots for your portfolio.  But if you don't have those tear sheets, these shots are the only way to get good work into your book.

If the photos are primarily for your book, to have and show possible clients, agents, art directors and other photographers what you have done and can do for them

If we believe we can get you specific work with specific clients but we need our own photos to shop around, your test shoot is at our expense.  That's our investment in OUR careers - our benefit as well as yours.

Traveling TFP/TFCD and Test Shoots
From time to time, we do offer TFP/TFCD as well as Test Shoots outside of South Florida and outside of the NY, NJ and CT Tri-State area while on other assignments.  We frequently travel up and down the East Coast from Georgia to New Hampshire and every State in between.  If you are interested in participating in one of these TFP/TFCDs or Test Shoots while we are in your area, please contact us now so we can add you to our list.  

Our Travel Schedule is:  SBM&T will be on location in South Beach and all of South Florida March 15, 2004.

DO YOU ONLY WORK WITH PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS?
No, we work with amateurs, semi-professional and professional photographers. The criteria we use when we advise a model whether or not to accept an assignment is: 1) Is the photographer paying a fair price and is he likely to pay promptly; 2) Will the photographer conduct himself in a professional manner; 3) Do his references and book meet your expectations and 4) Is the assignment being offered appropriate for the career goals of the model.

HOW DO I GET LISTED AS A PHOTOGRAPHER HERE ON YOUR WEB SITE?
We will list you here if you work with us.  If you are interested in working with us and you are located in South East Florida, then e-mail us with samples of your work and your references.

WHY DO SOME MODELS SHOOT NUDE AND OTHERS NOT?
The decision to model nude is a personal choice each individual model must make.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE A NUDE IMAGE ON YOUR SITE, YET SOME OF YOUR MODELS HAVE BEEN IN PLAYBOY(TM), WHY IS THAT?
It is for each individual model to decide if they want to do nudity or not.  For those who choose to, the ones that publish a nude image will usually get far more legitimate offers than the models that do not.  From the beginning we have battled with whether or not to even allow membership to our team to those who have posed in published nudes.  We have recently decided that Playboy style nudes would be the limit and have since and at this time, we have still chosen not to display any of those nude images.  This is not to say that we will not make these nude images available to view in a private members area some day in the future OR by some other means.

A quote from the One Model Place Guidelines:  "Nudity (Playboy Style etc.) and artistic nudity are wonderful art forms - they have and always will be very welcome on this site - they often show a model's or photographer's range and interest and are often a deciding factor in a photographer's decision to work with a model or not, and visa versa.  So it's fine to have nude images as part of a portfolio."

Although we have been slow to adopt this policy, we have come to agree, through our experience that they are probably right.  This in no way suggests that we are encouraging our models to accept nude assignments.  That has always been a decision they need to make on their own.  Likewise, should they make such a decision, we want to provide them with all the tools at their disposal to become successful I the industry.

CAN I BOOK YOUR MODELS FOR ADULT ASSIGNMENTS?
While there are many agents and managers in town that work in the adult industry, we do not. With very few exceptions, those of our models who work nude limit themselves to assignments that are commonly defined as Playboy-Style.  If you are interested in shooting models for anything beyond Playboy-Style nudes click here.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT YOUR WEBSITE IS DESIGNED AND MAINTAINED BY Rock Brothers Productions, WHO ARE THEY?
That is an interesting and fair question.  SBM&T is a growing multi-media production company and a division of Rock Brothers Enterprises, Inc. based in Pompano Beach, FL.  SBM&T provides South Beach Models and Talent with internet services as well as photography and video production.  South Beach Models, Inc. was formed by the same owners of SBM&T as separate corporate entity from SBM&T which would provide model management and talent scouting services.

HOW DO I BOOK A MODEL?
We do not procure work the models and talent you see on this web site.  We are not talent agents nor a modeling agency.  However, you may make arrangements with the individual models themselves or we will refer you inquiry as a value added service to the models for their affiliation with our web site.  When you request information on an individual model and/or talent from our web site, a copy of the request is forwarded automatically to the individual.  They will either respond themselves or ask us to do so for them.  Ultimately, you will be contacted directly by the model and/or talent to confirm the inquiry.

SOME OF YOUR MODELS LOOK YOUNG, ARE THEY ALL OVER 18?
Models and talent on this web site are not necessarily over the age of eighteen.  South Beach Models and Talent provide model management and career guidance to models and talent of all ages.  We maintain copies of identification on file for all of our models and talent.  If a model or actor is under eighteen years of age, we will not forward to them any assignment that their parent and/or legal guardian does not feel is appropriate.
