Client & Collaborator Resources

The information below is for those who have worked with me in some way, whether through a collaboration, a paid shoot, or a work-for-hire arrangement.

Registering for this Site

In order to help protect your images, I prefer to deliver them to you through this site rather than a third-party host or cloud service. Therefore, you will need to create an account on this site in order to view and download your images.

The registration process also provides me with helpful information about your publishing and attribution preferences in addition to or in lieu of any contractual agreements we may have together.

If we don’t have any official contracts in place, please refer to the Mini Release for TFP summary for an overview of my approach to working with you and delivering and sharing images. The information you provide through registration will guide my image usage and attribution.

If we do have any official contracts in place, please refer to those contracts for details about the specific shoots to which those contracts pertain. Contracts will always supersede your registration information for the specific shoots to which the contracts pertain, but I will continue to use your registration information for any non-contracted shoots.

Below is an explanation of the various registration fields.

  • Preferred Name – The name I’d call you in person. This is just to help me recognize your account more easily regardless of username.
  • Roles – This just helps me to make sure I attribute you correctly based on the role(s) you played in the shoot.
  • Credit – This lets me know how you prefer to be credited when I share images. You should indicate if you have different preferences for different platforms. For example:
    • Print: Ma’iitsoh Yazhi or Ma’iitsoh Yazhi Photography
    • Generic Online: maiitsohyazhi.com
    • Instagram / Fetlife: @maiitsohyazhi
  • Website / Link (optional) – If you have an official website (appropriate for the type of work we created) or if you have a link hub of some type (Linktree, Beacons, etc.), let me know so that I can include that in my attributions.
  • Social Media Accounts (optional) – Let me know which social media accounts you would like me to attribute or tag and your username for each. You can also include direct links to your profile if that’s easier.
  • Publishing Limitations – If you would prefer that I not post images of our work on certain platforms, please let me know here and in the comments. The main platforms I typically use include:
    • My website (this site)
    • Instagram
    • Fetlife
    • Patreon
    • Occasional submissions to print or online magazines
    • Occasional submissions to charity auctions, fundraisers, and the like
  • Content Limitations – If you would prefer that I not post certain images based on their content, please let me know here and in the comments. Some general categories of examples include:
    • Face: no identifiable facial features; partial face is OK but not full face; etc.
    • Nudity: implied nudity OK but no actual nudity; nude chest is OK but not full nudity; full nudity OK but no clear images of genitalia; etc.
    • Identifying Marks: remove visible moles or birthmarks; remove tattoo (may not be possible depending on size and location); etc.
  • Comments: Publishing or Content Limitations, Editing Requests, etc. – Please indicate details for any publishing or content limitations, any particular requests related to editing, and anything else you would like me to know or consider about the images we created together.

Please Note: In addition to the general guidelines you provide about sharing and attribution, you can also make specific requests on a per-image basis by leaving a comment on the image. For example, perhaps you gave blanket permission for me to post images with full nudity, but you’re not comfortable with sharing one particular image from a shoot. Leave a comment on that image asking me not to post that one (or to make specific changes before posting), and I’ll follow that request. I recommend messaging me to make sure I see the comment, but having the comment on the site will also serve as a reminder for the future.

Notes on My Approach to Editing Skin & Body

My general approach to editing people can be summed up as: I change or edit things that seem temporary or circumstantially unfortunate in order to present someone’s “best version” of their current self … but still true to who they are.

Some example of my default editing approaches:

  • Skin – I tend to edit things like: dark areas around/under the eyes; acne; specks of dirt / lint in obvious/distracting location; skin blotches, uneven tones, or discoloration; temporary cuts, bruises, or injuries (unless intentional for concept or fetish), etc. I do not tend to edit: scars, moles, birthmarks, tattoos, etc.
  • Body – I tend to edit things like: weird bulges or bumps based on body positioning; unnaturally larger or smaller body parts due to body positioning or camera angle / lens, etc. I do not tend to edit: actual body size or proportions; general muscle tone; waist, breast, butt size, etc.
  • Rope – If rope causes discoloration, this is usually normal and I typically don’t do much about that unless it contrasts noticeably with the overall aesthetics of the photo. If rope causes bulges or larger/smaller body parts, I try to use my experience and the overall aesthetics of the photo to guide whether or not and to what degree I will correct for that. I think rope photos should accurately reflect what it’s like to be tied in rope, but at the same time, there are both aesthetic considerations and just the unfortunate distortions that can result from awkward body positioning and camera angles / lenses.

Please let me know if you have any specific preferences that are different from the general guidelines above.


Accessing & Sharing Images

To access your images, please do the following:

  1. Make sure you have an account on this site.
  2. Once you login, visit the Client Galleries page. You should find image collections there.
  3. You should be able to do the following:
    • View individual images
    • View image slideshow
    • Download individual images
    • Download the entire gallery
    • Add images to your Favorites
    • Add comments to individual images

You can assume that you have “in kind” permission to share or post any images that I deliver to you through this site.

What does 'in kind' mean?
“In kind” means that you are abiding by the same permissions and restrictions you set for others. For example: if you indicate that I cannot share images with your face visible, you should also only publicly post images that I deliver that do not reveal your face, though of course you can enjoy and share those images privately. This provision is mainly relevant to TFP (trade for print/photo) work. In the past, some models have wanted to use the images we created for paid services while also restricting my use of those images. If one party can use the images and the other cannot, that is not a “trade.” If you would like for me to create images for you that only you have permission to use, then you can hire me, and we can make those stipulations in our contract.

Please attribute photography and/or rope to me as appropriate and also credit anyone else who contributed to the image (rope, assistance, makeup, props, etc.). If you have questions about credit for others who were involved in an image’s creation, just message me, and I’ll be happy to help.

I prefer the following options for credit:

  • Print: Ma’iitsoh Yazhi or Ma’iitsoh Yazhi Photography and/or maiitsohyazhi.com
  • Generic Online: maiitsohyazhi.com
  • Instagram / Fetlife: @maiitsohyazhi

If you have any questions or difficulties, please message me.


Updating Your Preferences

During registration, you set your attribution preferences and your publishing or content limitations.

If you need to review your responses or update your information, login and visit the Profile Details page. From there, you can make changes as necessary.

While I do check the information here before publishing or sharing work, it’s also a good idea to message me if the changes you make are significant.


Learn More about Working with Me

I have more information about my process on the Working Together page, whether you’re planning to work with me through collaboration or through hiring me for photography, rope, or education. You can find details about my workflow, answers to Frequently-Asked Questions, pricing information, and more on those pages.


Blank Copies of Standard Contracts

If we signed a contract, it was likely a modified version of the ones below. I provide them here as a reference / reminder, but please note that the final contract we signed may be different from the generic templates listed below.
