Modeling Photo Book Shoot
Have your picture(s) included in a Modeling Photo Book which we’re developing. Photo shoot will be taken at your location of choice within Baltimore & Harford counties, Maryland and within York & Lancaster counties, Pennsylvania. This is a great opportunity for those living in Fallston, Jarrettsville, and Bel Air, Maryland; as well as for those living in Hanover, Dallastown, York, and Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania.
Who Is Eligible
Male & female aspiring/amateur models ages 8-29. Modeling experience & training is preferred but not required.
What to Wear
Regular Shoot: Variable. If you are selected, we will contact you and discuss your wardrobe options. Usually, we ask models to provide 10 choices, from which we’ll select 5 to be used in the photo shoot.
Where the Shoot Will Take Place
This is a non-studio photo shoot which will take place at your location of choice, preferably within Harford & Baltimore counties, Maryland; and within Lancaster & York counties, Pennsylvania. If you desire to have the shoot take place at a home or business location, we will provide the property release form which the property owner will need to sign. The shoot can take place in your home, outside, or at any other location of your choice.
Photo Shoot Duration
Plan for a shoot of approximately 3 hours duration.
Payment
We will pay you $60 cash or give you $100 credit toward ordering professional prints from us of the shoot. We will also select 5 of the best pictures from the shoot and provide them to you as digital files (web/email resolution) for your personal use.
Forms
We will provide you with a model release form which you will need to sign (a minor model release form will need to be signed by a parent/legal guardian for models under the age of 18), and, if applicable, a property release form, to be signed by the property owner where the shoot takes place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Can I use the $100 credit to purchase the photo book?
Answer: Due to our not knowing how long this particular project will last, when the photo book will be completed, and which models will be included, we regret that the $100 credit cannot be applied toward the purchase of the photo book.
Question: Will every model you photograph have their pictures included in the photo book?
Answer: We will be selective and choose the best pictures from dozens of different modeling shoots. Inevitably, some models who were included in the shoots will not have their pictures included in the published book.
Question: Will you let me know if my pictures are included in the photo book and when the book is published?
Answer: Yes, upon the book’s publication, we will contact each model who had pictures included in the book.
Question: How much will the book sell for?
Answer: It’s really difficult for us to know until we are finalizing the book’s pages. The price will depend on the quality of the book’s binding, the printing & finish of the pages, and the number of pages.
Question: Who can be present at the shoot?
Answer: For minors, the model’s parent(s)/legal guardian may decide who is present; otherwise, the model may choose who will accompany him/her. In our experience, the fewer people present, the fewer distractions during the shoot, and the more usable pictures which we are able to obtain.
Question: If we choose the $100 credit toward purchasing professional prints, can we spend extra to buy additional prints?
Answer: Yes, you may purchase as many prints from your shoot as you would like.
