September 2019 Update

Hey Patrons,

Thank you for all for being here with me. Some  people here are new, others have been here for all the 5 months since I've launched this page and I'm entirely grateful for everyone's love and support. Let's just dive right into the updates!

>>>POLAROIDS AND PRINTS

As an update, I will be getting rid of all Polaroid Tiers. Originally they just included increments of polaroids from the shoots I did every month.

Instead, I will be launching a Polaroid / Print store on Shopify that will be dropping later this week, and I will be giving you Patrons first dibs before I promote it next week.

The prices will go as follows for Polaroids:

Any Fuji Instax Wide $19.99. Buy 5 Get 1 Free
Any Polaroid Original $29.99, Buy 5 Get 1 Free

The prices will go as follows for Prints  (Regular Paper vs Archival Paper)
(all measurement are inches). 

*The following prints can be signed and dated with a special request if you want me to write anything more. There will be an additional cost if you would like the model to sign the print as well. Some models will not be able to sign the print. Normal delivery should be 7-10 business days. With a model signature, it should be close to 10-14 business days. 

8x12 - $88 / $150 for archival
16x24 - $275 / $500 for archival
24x36 - $425 / $750 for archival
30x45 - $650 / Not Available

This week I'll give a 30% off all Polaroids and 25% off all Prints. Hell yeah I am.

To be honest with you all, I probably won't do any sale like this again until Christmas. If I did, I'd be breaking even or the profit margins are so slim it doesn't make sense to run the shop. I use an expensive printer and a lot of polaroids end up bad for a good one to be presented to you. But this place has been about love and appreciation, and I wanted to give that back to you

After that, all Patrons will always get a 10% off. Because why not. :)

$14 polaroids? And if you buy 5 you get a FREE one? Cmon, that's insane when most models and other photographers sell them for $35, $50, sometimes even at the $100+ range. There will be over 250-350 Polaroids to choose from, so I will give out an official pre-launch time for everyone so it's fair game. It will most likely land on Saturday September 7th around 2PM EST so everyone around the world will be awake.

This will be the first time ever showing and selling polaroids from my archive that I've been shooting for 7 years. It's simply been stored away since now.

If there is a print size or photograph not available, please email me to request one. If you're planning to buy more than 3+ prints this weekend, please let me know and I will give you a 30% discount instead of 25%.

>>>TRAVELING FOR EUROPE

Again, I will be traveling across Europe from September 15th to October 15th. As I won't have time to communicate here often with limited internet service and shooting all the time, I have automated the post dates for the following:

September 9, 12, 16, 23, 26, 30
October 1, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 28

All posts always drop at 11AM EST. I will be dropping 2 BONUS stories before September 15th, so you will get 9 STORES from me this month. How great is that?

>>>LIVE EVENT

I want to stream a live event, because I promised one and it's long overdue. It's just been a process to get that going. However, we're going to do it immediately when I come back to NYC.

Most shoots take 3-4 hours and I will be live streaming the whole event through a private access. It will 100% be indoors as any set up on nature will be disastrous. Please let me know what you would like to see from this live event, model requests, vibes, etc. If anyone has a recommendation for which website to use the live stream, okay with nudity, please let me know!

If it's any bonus, I am shooting Asami Suicide immediately after returning from Europe. She's incredibly comfortable nude and could be a great candidate. Please choose someone from NYC for the month of October, and we can discuss, if all goes well, from LA when I'm there in January. 

>>> MORE BTS
All uncensored photos and videos made from IG stories over at @samlivm2 will be posted on the same day. 

>>> Q & A

Please use this thread for our monthly Q & A. Whether about models, shoots, camera tech, etc. That's what this is for! And if you have any suggestions for changes, models to shoot when I'm in Europe, please write them below. Looking forward to hearing what you all have to say! Please do so before the 15th so I can respond!

best,
Sam
