The Aphrodite Experience
As a client of Aphrodite Photography, you will have the luxury of all the time and attention you need to indulge in your adventure and to revel in Your Story afterwords.
For many of my clients, their experiences prove to be the entryway to the rest of their lives, the better lives they want and deserve. I‘ve been doing this for twenty-six years and I don’t cut corners. I expect the same of my clients. It takes what it takes and it takes however long it takes to do it right. I’m not interested in doing it any other way.
What Is A Session Like?
Do you want to try your hand out at being a Bond Girl? A stripper or pole dancer? A Goddess of Beauty like our namesake Aphrodite? Or perhaps a Goddess of Truth and Justice such as Wonder Woman?
Do you have a desire to smash your bathroom scale to smithereens with a sledgehammer? Do you need to cry? Do you need to be at the beach or in a waterfall in West Virginia? Can you imagine yourself, proudly nude, standing atop a mountain? Do you have no idea of what you need or want to do but you desperately know it’s time you do something? If any of these ideas ring a bell for you, there is an excellent chance that you are a candidate for being an Aphrodite Woman.
Restrictions
You must be eighteen years of age, as does any additional participants if that is the way you need to go.
The average age of my client is 40 but it runs about two decades in either direction from there. My basic rules are 1) Consenting adults only. 2) We have lots of fun. 3) No mind-altering drugs or alcohol, period. 4) We do nothing that might result in the need to call 911. Beyond that, pretty much anything goes. You gotta do what you gotta do.
The Process
Consultation (2 hour minimum or however long it takes)
Your session, depending on concept, can take place in a photography studio environment, outdoors, or in several hotel or Airbnb facilities in reasonable proximity to my base in Columbia SC. If the client provides a suitable location within a two-hour drive of Columbia, I’ll waive any location fee. This two-hour circle includes Charlotte NC, Augusta GA, and all of South Carolina except the far eastern corners of the state. Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Asheville NC, and Savannah GA will incur reasonable additional travel expense. Atlanta GA in a day is possible but if you live and drive around there, you know what you’re asking. We’ll work it out. The services of a professional make-up and hair artist (MUAH in trade parlance) will be included if at all possible. Some locations may incur travel reimbursement for the MUAH. Note: I spent the first 14 years of my photography career in Washington DC and the DMV is one great, big photography set. Please, please invite me back up there to create with you.
Image Quantity
Viewing/Selection/Album Creation (Two hour minimum) How many images will I take?
One to two thousand usually does it. Most or all of the photography occurs without my subject being restricted by posing. I photograph what my client does naturally and beautifully. This does result in a few out-of-focus images and some awkward body positions that aren’t worth showing. I pre-sort the images before the viewing. The viewing is of a minimum of three hundred images but often many more. You get to see yourself at your best doing many different things.
Image Selection
The images are selected for your album. The album and layout style are selected along with the level of retouching desired.
Each session is memorialized with a 20 page, 26 image album. More images and pages can be added for an additional fee. For clients who have luxury of being able to display nude images on their walls, framed wall prints may also be purchased.
