Personal portfolio packages start at a base rate of $275, which includes an initial consultation, a full photography session (unlimited outfits and backgrounds), editing and optional retouching, as well as a final review and selection for a portfolio of 6 professional paper prints, in any size up to 8x10 prints.  Additional pictures, larger sizes, and digital copies may be purchased at extra cost.  Professional portfolio packages, start at different rates.  Headshots start at $225 for 3 digital prints.  Professional portfolios, for models and other professionals, start at $325 for 4 digital prints, with additional rates for extra pictures and services.

SINN Photography offers specially tailored photography sessions to fit your particular purpose and desires for photography portfolio services.  Sessions may be held at the SINN Photography private studio location or at a location of your choice.

Prior to any session, you will have the opportunity to speak directly with Sean Sinn to discuss your session, including poses, clothing and shoot location.  You will have an opportunity to review the Portfolio Services Agreement, which details your rights and the services provided.  You may elect to pay half of the services fee at the time of booking as a retainer for your session, and pay the remaining balance upon receipt of your portfolio.  SINN Photography will take all reasonable measures to ensure your satisfaction with the final portfolio.

Sessions last from between 1 to 2 hours depending upon which package you select.  The session and time are tailored to your specific needs and the information collected during the initial screening.

A hairstylist and makeup artist are available for all sessions at an additional cost, depending on the stylist or artist you choose.  SINN Photography has relationships with several stylists and artists and can arrange to provide those services in connection with your session.

 

 
Privacy Policy
 

  Protecting your privacy is a principal concern for SINN Photography, and so every stage of your session and contact with SINN Photography is conducted with discretion and care and will remain completely confidential.  No images from the session will ever be used for any purpose but to provide you with your portfolio, unless you have provided written, signed consent regarding the scope of use of those images.  No release is ever required as part of your session.

Each session is photographed personally by Sean Sinn.  No other individuals are ever present.  If you decide to retain a hairstylist or makeup artist, that person may stay throughout the session for any necessary touchup or reapplication at your choice.  You may also bring a guest with you to your session, if you feel more comfortable having someone with you.

 

 
Trade For Prints
 

  In limited circumstances, SINN Photography works with professional or amateur models on a TFP or TFCD basis, which literally means trade for prints or CD.  In exchange for modeling for a project or upcoming works included in the portfolio, SINN Photography will provide you with prints or a CD of the final images for your personal or professional use.  If you are interested, you must be willing to sign a release and be able to fulfill the needs of the particular project, some of which may require artistic nudity.  Feel free to send a message expressing your interest on the Contact page, including with your submission your age and a brief physical description.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

1.  I am not a model but want nice pictures that will look good, can you work with me?

            Yes, do not worry.  SINN Photography works with your best qualities, to accentuate them and show the beauty of you as an individual.  Few women are 5’10” and a size 2.  You do not need to crash diet.  In our initial consultation, we will discuss with you what are your best features, which make you feel most confident, and in our session, we will use composition, soft and appropriate directional lighting and tailored poses to create the best atmosphere for quality pictures of you.

2.  Will you use Photoshop editing?  Are you familiar with Lightroom?

            Editing should be the exception, not the rule.  The goal of any session with SINN Photography is to capture, in the setting and lighting, quality and memorable pictures of your true self.  Minor color adjustment, correction of blemishes, and light contrast and enhancement are part the processing of all the final photography prints.  And, if requested, additional retouching work, including skin smoothing, diffuse lighting, may be included to add emphasis and effect.  Photoshop and Lightroom are the standard editing programs used by SINN Photography, and we are proficient in both. 

3.  Can I bring a friend with me for my session?

            Well, of course, you should feel free to bring a friend along with you if that helps you to relax and feel more comfortable.  Most clients feel that any anxiety quickly subsides once a session begins and do not feel the need to have someone else present.  But keep in mind, that if you decide you would like someone to accompany you, it should be someone in front of whom you are able to be partially nude or dressed in intimate apparel, if part of your session.

4.  What should I bring?  Should I go out and buy something new?

            We recommend that you bring your own wardrobe, and will help recommend an appropriate ensemble for your session.  More likely than not, you do not need to purchase something new, but if you desire a fresh new look, we can also recommend several options for affordable and quality styles and lingerie, if needed. SINN Photography also provides supplemental accessories, including lingerie, hats, jewelry and other accents to help compliment your wardrobe and accentuate your pictures.

5.       How long will it take for me to see the final result?

            Processing ordinarily takes from 1-2 weeks from the date of your proofs selection, but may be sooner depending on the circumstances.  Rush orders may be placed at an additional cost.

6.       I am nervous and particularly about working with a male photographer, would a female be a better choice?

            Everyone feels some measure of anxiety at first, but everyone who has worked with him has come to feel comfortable in the professional and relaxed atmosphere that Sean Sinn creates.  SINN Photography has helped build portfolios for over 125 women in the past several years, and still counting.  Please review the Testimonials section to see what others have had to say about their experience.  But you should decide for yourself whether you feel a female photographer may better suit your needs.

7.       Do you photograph men?

            Yes.  Whether for professional portrait work or indeed, nowadays, intimate boudoir photography, which is no longer limited to women, SINN Photography can help male professionals, bachelors or husbands develop a photography portfolio for themselves.
