The "How much" hasn't yet been nailed down. It cost me almost $500 for this shoot after paying the model and leasing the studio. Releases have been signed and the rights are all in order and on file with both myself and the studio where the photos were shot. The resolution on the photos is 6 Mega pixel and each one weighs in at 17MB. The camera is a commercial grade Sony that goes for around $4,200. I borrowed that one from the studio. It is pretty awesome though. The lighting and the super high resouliton are what really seperate these pics from what the average consumer camera would produce for the do-it-yourselfers. Take for example my Canon Powershot G2. It's a very nice 4 MP consumer models and takes pretty good pics. I made my Chavez character with it. But, compared to the pro level camera KIRBY-GUFFEY studios in Mathews, NC uses, it's not in the same ball park at all. We can probably work something out for a higer res preview once it comes out, but I wouldn't want to provide a full res swath that could be sampled. FYI, that's just in general. You being who you are and working with Lourdes who's done a lot for my site and I feel like I know pretty well, WE can work something out. But in general providing thumbnails of all 82 pictures with the naughty bits blurred out would be too time consuming and labor intensive. Trust me, every angle you need to make an entire texture map of a human female is covered in great lighting. I hope to produce at least two of these each month if the product takes off.
