Now lets get rolling with more Detial about C. E. & C Photography
A few things we’re great at
Three Primary Areas of Work We Can Perform
MODEL PORTFOLIOS
Non-Represented Models
We are happy to work with non-represented models or those seeking to get into modeling. We are generally not a good fit for models who are already signed by an agency or expect to be signed in the near future under an exclusive agreement.
Newly signed models who have a non-exclusive contract & can seek jobs independently may want to use our services to develop work experience and portfolio. We can certainly consult about that option.
Uninformed new or aspiring models fall into the trap of paying for photography when they should not. C. E. & C Photography provides a great experience for new models as well as promotional content to use for advertising.
Our portfolio services are designed for new and aspiring models who do not plan to be signed or have been unable to get signed & represented by an agency, but want a portfolio to present to casting directors.
We are not agents and do not find jobs for models. Therefore, we will never take any money for finding you a job even if we do help in that area.
We can offer our portfolios & promotional modeling content at affordable prices.
PROMOTIONAL VIDEO
For Individual Brands
C. E. & C Photography offers video and photography services to help a company or individual promote their company, service or products.
We use high quality professional Canon equipment & stay on top of current technology.
We will consider candid live action video to promote your company, brand, or service. We specialize in tailored projects for aspiring models, using video production to promote your individual branding. We help new models develop a career.
We will take photos for your promotional posters, or online advertising. We can do photo or video shoots for musicians or groups for advertising purposes. If you need some promotional photo or video work, it wont hurt to run it by us and see if we might be a fit for the job.
We may or may not accept your project work for event photography. We do accept wedding videography jobs from time to time, but we are selective about performing wedding photography. If you like our body of work, please do not hesitate to present your needs and see if we want to take on your project.
HEADSHOTS
For Any Purpose
Keeping current headshots for actors and actresses is a MUST. Its a service we are easily able to provide. There are many resources for this service, and some aspiring actors/actresses just have a friend use their phone camera to take some photos, although this may end up being less professional, its something that does happen often. If you would like a very high quality headshot, feel free to contact us about this service.
Head shots vary somewhat, although the traditional shot is very plain and straight forward and is usually a slightly angled shot that creates a nice 3- dimensional image showing features and structure of a person’s face and head. The shots typically do not extend below the middle torso, although there are exceptions. Actors sometimes want to show a bit of personality which can be depicted in the way the photo is produced.
Artistic elements are not usually desired for head shots.
We Follow A Simple Process For Any Work That We Perform:
how to get your project done
Our process from start to finish:
We have a basic 4-step process.
One: Contact us by telling us about your project. We have a project proposal form for you to fill out that will assist you in describing your project. It may be a simple head shot, portrait session, or HS senior photos. Or, it may be something more complicated like an advertising campaign, or modeling portfolio project that involves the coordination of production crew, set locations, wardrobe services, makeup artists, and hair stylists.
Two: If your project description seems to be a good fit for what we do we will contact you back about scheduling a consultation and planning appointment. If we are going to decline your project we will let you know as soon as possible before Step 2.
If your project is fairly simple and straight forward, the step 2 (consultation & planning) will not take much time. One online or in-person appointment for perhaps 30 minutes. For more complicated projects that need extensive planning, we can take care of the collaborative process in-person for as long as needed.
Three: When the consultation and planning is completed, step 3 is on us. We will prepare a written agreement/contract for the work to be performed and present it to the appropriate party for signature.
Four: Once the contract paperwork is signed, we can schedule the production date(s). More complicated projects may require multiple production day(s) or /date(s) for completion. We may require some feedback during the production phase, or have your involvement in the production directly.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: For projects involving children/teens & their parents, please scroll down to the next page. The application and preparation process for parents and their child(ren)/teen(s) for modeling or any other service is on the next page. Scroll down one page and follow the procedure there. If you are a legal adult or a business requesting digital media services you may complete the project proposal form via the link above.

OUR AWESOME CUSTOMERS
Client Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
“Hey, my name is Cheyanne Rose Birt and I worked with C. E. & C Photography. Duane was the very first photographer I worked with. It was my first photo shoot so I was really nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I met Duane the day of the photoshoot at the location where we were shooting at. He was very friendly and professional. He made me feel very comfortable while we were shooting. I got some great pictures for my portfolio. Duane really helped me get started in the modeling business. A few months later I shot with him again. I always have a fun time shooting with him and would love to again. Duane is very talented and awesome photographer.”

“The owner of C. E. & C Photography hired me to model for his photography company. I am totally new to all of this, but Duane made things simple for me. I had to think things over and Duane let me figure out whether I wanted to move forward. After he hired me to do some modeling for his websites and saw thew quality of his work, I decided to ask him to do some work for me personally. C. E. & C Photography works with makeup artists who are very talented and help to make a new model comfortable to start working in this industry. This has been a fantastic experenice for me and I would highly recommend Duane and C. E. & C Photography. His photo and video quality is exceptional.”

Good Day! My name is Mia Todachine. I was hired by C. E. & C Photography to create sample model portfolio photos for their website. I had not modeled for along time and was nervous, but the photo shoot not only went well, but the owner, Duane Minnis, decided to use my photos as the “face of his business” on his FB page and to show the work his company does. If all that was not good enough, Duane offered me a contract as a ART DIRECTOR to organize and design Stylist Photo Shoots for the general public wanting to get into modeling or to express their creative side. I LOVE doing this for Duane and C. E. & C Photography.
