rmaidens@optusnet.com.au to insure that your ideas haven’t been done or aren’t already in the process of being produced. We also suggest you run your ideas by us first to make sure it complies with Australian censorship laws. If you choose not to consult us, and your shoot breeches these laws, your shoot will not be accepted and your time would have been wasted. Organization of photo shoot ideas Once your partnership is decided, we will provide your contact details to the Renegade Maidens, and it will be up to her to contact you regarding her shoot. Once she has made contact, the “theme” and/or “narrative” of the shoot has to be determined and has been approved. This can be completely up to the Renegade Maidens, but your ideas are certainly welcome. However, you do need to be aware of the theme before you can proceed.
The theme and narrative of the shoot is important because this differentiates us from other photo based subscription websites. Using themes allow each photo set to be unique, thus avoiding repetition on the site. A theme could entail a character or an event. For example: “Little Miss Muffet”, or “A Rock Show” If you choose to use a theme, your photo set must have flow. You can do this by using a “Narrative”. This means that there is a “story line” that the order of the photos will follow. The story line will need to start and finish within the requirements of the set. You don’t necessarily need to have a story line if you choose to use a theme, but keep in mind that there must be some kind of structure to the order of the photos. A narrative is a situation. For example: Breaking down in your car. If you choose to have a narrative, you don’t need to use a theme, but keep in mind that your narrative must make sense. Themes and narratives allow the Photographer and the Renegade Maidens an easier guidance towards laying out the timeline of the shoot, which is a requirement that needs to be met for a set to be accepted for publishing. For more information, see “Timeline of shoot”. 1 final submission a photographer may want to submit is a theme project.
