Collaborate
Become
a muse
For select icons & influencers: a fully-produced, art-directed session at no cost — in exchange for a fair 50/50 share of your fine-art print sales.
The collaboration
We shoot you as fine art. You pay nothing upfront. Together we sell the art & content — and share the success. A true win-win-win.
How it works
Free to shoot. Shared to sell.
A simple, fair model: we cover the shoot, produce a collectible edition of your images, and split the profit with you 50/50.
Apply
By application. We curate a small number of icons & influencers to create collectible art with.
We produce, free
A fully-produced, art-directed session — creative direction, hair, makeup, styling & location provided. You pay nothing.
We make the edition
Your images become a signed limited edition of 100 at a single size, plus open-edition postcards. We produce, market & control the media.
We split 50/50
You earn a 50/50 share of the net profit on every sale, for as long as the edition sells. No upfront cost, real upside.
Clear on rights & IP.
You receive a beautiful set of images for your own use — but to protect the work, the studio produces and retains the media and the large-format / original files are not released. Your 50/50 net split and permitted usage are set out plainly in a simple written agreement before we shoot.
The model
The deal, in plain numbers
A free session
A fully-produced, art-directed shoot at no upfront cost — you invest your image, not your money.
Limited edition of 100
A signed, numbered run of 100 at a single size, priced $700–$2,000 depending on the work.
Open-edition postcards
An accessible open edition of postcards widens the audience — and your share.
50/50 of net profit
An even split of the profit after production & print costs — on every sale, for as long as it sells.
We control the media
The studio produces, markets & retains the files. No large-format originals leave the studio — your IP and the edition are protected.
By application
Reserved for select icons & influencers whose audience and image suit a collectible edition.
