A collaborative group of local industry professionals, each with 25+ years of experience in the various media, are seeking talented models and actors to participate in a series of high-end test shootings for our national/international portfolio.
All shooting concepts are in the high-fashion/advertising/editorial genre, and will consist of mainly still photography with accompanying videography on certain sessions.
Concepts are compelling and unusual, but tasteful; there is no nudity involved, except for one concept (#6 listed below) which will require full view of talent’s body from the side with no private parts showing.
Each chosen model/actor will be featured in one concept shooting that is determined to be perfect for their look and talents. The shootings will be done in Baltimore at a fully appointed studio, normally on the last Sunday afternoon of each month throughout this year. Models/actors will be chosen on the basis of headshots/comp cards, interview, professionalism and also possibly audition (depending upon concept).
Complete makeup, hairstyling, wardrobe (in most cases), photo styling, meals and drinks will be provided for each talent. Complete instructions and information will be provided to each talent prior to the shoot they are to participate in.
Compensation for each test shoot will consist of a selection of finished and retouched images of the talent’s choice from the session.
Signed releases will be required from each talent for all sessions, however if stock photo sale results from any session image, talent will be compensated appropriately with a percentage of each image sale.
A list of types needed for the first several shoots appears below:
