TFP/TFCD/TFD
Explanation
Time for print (TFP) is a term to describe an arrangement between a model, make-up/hair stylist and a photographer whereby the photographer agrees to provide the team with an agreed number of pictures of the best photographs from the session, and a limited license to use those pictures in return for the time of every team member. With TFP, the photographer provides the selection of images via a downloadble ZIP package, email or via WeTransfer.com
There are benefits to both parties of such an arrangement. The model can build a portfolio of prints to show to prospective clients at little or no cost, while the photographer gets a model for a particular project with little if any outlay of cash.
