Makeup artist partnerships — six models
Photographers
Corporate portrait days, personal branding sessions, castings and portfolio work. I arrive with my own station and work at the pace of your shoot day. Terms depend on volume.
Hotels and spas
Getting a bride ready, guests with public engagements, in-room service at the concierge's request. I work under your name, as part of your menu. Terms per project.
Event agencies and planners
Conferences, gala dinners, product launches, weddings. I join your programme as part of the team, not as an outside supplier. Terms by agreement.
Production companies
Makeup, hair and men's grooming as one department with one person in charge. You talk to me and I organise the rest. A price per shoot day.
Training companies and academies
Programmes in business etiquette, image and leadership presence cover clothing, posture and voice — and stop at the face. This module goes into your programme, under your name. A fee per module or per training day.
Cosmetics brands and distributors
Masterclasses for the brand's customers, training for beauty consultants, events at a counter and at a trade fair. I also work on campaigns where the brand needs a face and a pair of hands. A price per day · rights and exclusivity agreed separately.
If your situation is not on the list, it can probably still be done — write to me.
I work with a few people, and I work with them for a long time. It makes for a calmer working relationship.
Most of my corporate work comes through colleagues — photographers, agencies and hotels who already have the client and are missing one line in the quote. I like that: you do not have to look for a makeup artist every time, and I do not compete with you for the same client.
Whatever we take on together, I take on as I would alone — the same kit, the same preparation, the same respect for the schedule. The only difference is that the name the client remembers is yours.
Every partnership is agreed separately
I have no public price list for partners and I do not use one template for everyone. The terms are agreed in the first conversation and written down, so we do not have to go back over them every time.
What the terms depend on
- The volume in one day, and how many days there are
- The pace — 15, 30 or 60 minutes per person
- Whether it is a one-off project or ongoing work
- The season, and how far ahead the booking is made
- The venue, and whether the station is on location
- Rights to the material and exclusivity, where they apply
We start with a pilot day.
The first joint project is how we see each other work — your client, my station, one day. If we fit, we move to an annual framework agreement: fixed terms, priority in my calendar and dates held through the busy season. Then we do not negotiate on every project, and you know what to put in your quote before you even call me.
What you can expect from me
Always
- A reply within 24 hours, Saturdays included
- I arrive 30 minutes before the first person
- I bring everything — I never count on anything being there
- One contact for the whole team, when there are several of us
- A written schedule before every confirmation
Never
- I do not compete with you for the same client
- I do not negotiate directly with your client
- I do not discuss your terms with third parties
- I do not publish images without your permission
- I do not name public figures
- I do not take on a booking I know the schedule will not hold
Partnerships in practice
Corporate portrait days with a photography studio in Sofia, productions, events and ceremonies. If you want a reference from a colleague before we work together — say so and I will put you in touch.

I reply within 24 hours with terms and the dates I have open. For regular partners — an annual framework agreement with fixed terms and priority in my calendar.
How it works
Write to me
Number of people, date, location. I reply within 24 hours with the dates I have open.
I send you the terms
In writing, with minutes per person and how many people a day holds, so you can build your package.
You sell
Under your name and your terms. From there on I am part of your team.
I invoice you
Not the end client. One supplier, one payment, one invoice.
