Private / ZBD Talent / Brisbane + Byron Bay

Choose Your Booking Path

Choose the option that matches the venue and production setup. Accessibility adjustments are welcome; pricing changes only when a different venue or additional production resources are required.

One-to-One Agency Test

Agency rates / Teneriffe studio or beach

For a streamlined shoot with the photographer and one camera-ready talent.

The talent manages their own wardrobe changes.
The standard rate assumes no HMUA, stylist, agency representative, or production crew on set.
A support person or chaperone is welcome when no additional production time or resources are needed.
My Teneriffe home studio is a small, private working space intended for streamlined one-to-one tests with adult agency talent who arrive camera-ready and manage their own wardrobe changes.
Under-18 bookings instead take place in a hired commercial studio, with a parent or legal guardian present throughout.
To keep the session small, calm, and distraction-free, I recommend one accompanying parent or guardian where practical.
For a streamlined under-18 test, the selected agency package remains the base rate, with the required commercial studio hire added to the quote.
The Teneriffe studio building is not accessible.
Beach location suitability is discussed before booking.

Location notes

I use my Teneriffe home studio for streamlined one-to-one tests with adult agency talent. The studio is in a Woolstore building that is not accessible.
Under-18 tests are held in a hired commercial studio with a parent or legal guardian present. To keep the session calm and distraction-free, I recommend one accompanying parent or guardian where practical.
If an accessible commercial studio is required, the booking uses portfolio rates, which include standard studio fees where required.
Beach sessions run from the Gold Coast to Byron Bay. Location suitability, terrain, facilities, weather, and access requirements are discussed before booking.
Accessibility adjustments are welcome and do not automatically change the rate.

Hair, makeup and styling notes

One-to-one agency rates assume the talent arrives camera-ready and manages their own wardrobe changes.
A support person or chaperone is welcome when their attendance does not add production time or resources.
Being under 18 does not automatically require HMUA or expanded-production pricing.
Briefs requiring HMUA, styling, agency attendance, additional crew, or substantially more set time use the expanded-production path.

Deliverables and process

Before quoting, I will confirm the talent's portfolio goals, preferred location, accessibility requirements, support needs, and any additional crew.
Proofs are shown within 48 hours for the talent to choose their finals, or I can choose for them.
Final selected images are professionally retouched and delivered in 3 to 5 business days.
Booking is confirmed by deposit, with the remaining balance due before final delivery.
