JOIN MY CREW!
I am always on the lookout for a new and interesting face whether it be for an upcoming YouTube video, an article for magazine publication, a personal project or a workshop.
My photography is based on creative collaboration. I can’t do it myself. It requires beautiful and adventurous models as well as makeup artists and hair stylists.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
I am looking for models who are aged 18 – 35, attractive and in good physical shape. I do not have a height requirement – in fact most of my models are between 5’ and 5’7” but don’t worry – I don’t discriminate against tall girls! You don’t need to be a size zero, but you must be in good physical shape. Overweight – is overweight. If your doctor would say you are a few pounds overweight – then I would agree.
PERSONALITY REQUIREMENTS
CONFIDENT, ADVENTUROUS and ENERGETIC are three personality traits that will score big points with me. I can teach you a lot about working in front of the camera and the industry in general, but it is not my job to build your confidence. “Nervous Nellies” – need not apply.
AVAILABILITY
Hopefully LOTS of it. This is my work – my job so I try to do most of it during the week from 9-5 just like any other business. Most of my shoots take 6 – 8 hours so I don’t shoot in the evening, but for the right model – I may be willing to do some work on weekends.
EXPERIENCE
No required as long as you meet all of the criteria that I have outlined above.
LOCATION
I am based in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Less than two hours from NYC and one hour from Philadelphia. I do most of my shoots in my home studio here in Allentown, (See a video of the studio) but I do occasionally need models across the county.
In 2018 I will be teaching and lecturing in Nashville, TN – Las Vegas, Nevada, Boston, Mass, Fort Worth, Texas, New York, NY, Chicago, Illinois and numerous other locations where I will need models.
COMPENSATION
The first time we work together it will be a TFP (trade) arrangement (No exceptions). I will provide you with high resolution digital files of the images that I retouch from our shoot as well as smaller web sized versions that you can post online.
If all goes well with our first shoot, I will compensate you for future shoots. Based upon the type of work and time required, payment will range from $50.00 to $150.00 and will be discussed and agreed upon before each shoot.
Models that are being hired for workshops will be paid at a higher rate to be determined by the size and cost of attendance at the workshop.
As all of my previous models will attest, I am also always willing to consult and provide guidance to my models if they are serious about entering the business professionally and submitting to modeling agencies. I have authored many articles on the subject and have been interviewed for numerous books and magazine and TV articles on this topic as well.
Complete ALL applicable information – the more detail that you provide me – more likely I am to consider you for my project or workshop.
After you complete the form – be sure to email me some photos of yourself. [email protected]
I would encourage you to complete this form on a computer or tablet. It is very long and difficult to keep track of on a phone.
